Need help with part (a). Thank you :)

(a) For each of the fundamental unit quaternions i, j, k, state the angle and aris of the rotation
they represent.
(b) If v = xi + yj+ zk is any pure quaternion, what can you say about each of iv/i, jv/j, kv/k?
(c) Prove, by induction on n, that for all n, a product of n fundamental unit quaternions represents
a rotation by either 0° (in which case it does nothing) or 180°.
