You can put this solution on YOUR website!

One question per post, please.

It is the RULE of this forum.


And, please, be more accurate in your writing next time.


For example, let assume (for a minute) that I want to ask your question #1:

1)Let q1 = 1+ i + j + k and q2 = 1. Find
(i)q^2 1, (ii)q^2 2, (iii) q1q2, (iv)q2q1

What are i, j, k here? Quaternion units?
Why do not say it at very beginning?
How can I recognise them otherwise?

What is (i)q^2 1 ??

What is (ii)q^2 2 ???
