Question: A vector space over the complex numbers C has the same definition as a vector space over the reals except that scalars are drawn from

A vector space over the complex numbers C has the same definition as a vector space over the reals except that scalars are drawn from C instead of from R. Show that each of these is a vector space over the complex numbers. (Recall how complex numbers add and multiply: (a0 + a1i) + (b0 + b1i) = (a0 + b0) + (a1 + b1)i and (a0 + a1i)(b0 + b1i) = (a0b0 - a1b1) + (a0b1 + a1b0)i.)
