The adjoioning table shows the result of multiplication of elements G
Since for every pair a,b,E, G
$\ G_1 \Rightarrow$ Since multiplication of complex number is associative, the multiplication associative in G
$\ G_2 \Rightarrow$ From the first coloumn (or row), we see that l is an identity element. Hence, 1 E G is an identity element.
$\ G_3 \Rightarrow$ Since
11=1, _1-1=1, i * -i=1
-i * i=1, inverse exists
for every elements in G
and, we have
$\ 1^{-1} =1, -1^{-1} =-1, i^{-1} =-i, -i^{-i} = i
Hence G is a group under multiplication.
