Math Problem Statement
Which of the following relations hold true?
Choose Option AA. i × i = j × j = k × k = 1 Choose Option BB. i × j = -k, j × i = k Choose Option CC. i × i = j × j = k × k = 0 Choose Option DD. k × i = -j, i × k = j
Solution
The correct options are:
Option BB and Option DD.
These relations are based on the properties of the imaginary units in the context of quaternion algebra. Specifically:
-
Option BB:
- This is true and aligns with the rules of quaternion multiplication.
-
Option DD:
- This is also true and consistent with quaternion multiplication properties.
Options AA and CC are incorrect because:
- Option AA:
- In quaternion algebra, , not 1.
- Option CC:
- Similarly, this does not hold true in quaternion algebra, as mentioned above.
Do you want details or have any questions?
Here are 5 numbered questions for you to ask:
