3.21. A quarternion is an ordered pair of complex numbers; e.g., ((1,2), (3, 4)) and (2+i, 1-i). The sum of quarternions (A, B) and (C, D) is defined as (A + C, B + D). Thus, ((1, 2), (3, 4)) + ((5, 6), (7,8)) = ((6,8), (10, 12)) and (1 – i, 4 + i) + (7+ 2i, -5 + i) = (8+i, -1+ 2i). Similarly, the scalar multiplication by a complex number A of a quaternion (B, C) is defined by the quadternion (AB, AC). Show that the addition and scalar multiplica- tion of quaternions satisfy all the properties of addition and multiplication of real numbers.

3.21. A quarternion is an ordered pair of complex numbers; e.g., ((1,2),
(3, 4)) and (2+i, 1-i). The sum of quarternions (A, B) and (C, D) is defined
as (A + C, B + D). Thus, ((1, 2), (3, 4)) + ((5, 6), (7, 8)) = ((6,8), (10, 12))
and (1 – i, 4 + i) + (7+ 2i, -5 + i) = (8+i, -1+ 2i). Similarly, the scalar
multiplication by a complex number A of a quaternion (B, C) is defined by
the quadternion (AB, AC). Show that the addition and scalar multiplica-
tion of quaternions satisfy all the properties of addition and multiplication
of real numbers.
