Question: Derive the following laws for complex numbers from the corresponding laws for real numbers. z 1 + z 2 = z 2 + z 1

Derive the following laws for complex numbers from the corresponding laws for real numbers.

z1 + z2 = z2 + z1, z1z2 = z2z1 (Commutative laws)
(z1 + z2) + z= z1 + (z2 + z3), (Associative laws)
(z1z2)z= z1(z2z3)
z1(z2 + z3) = z1z2 + z1z3 (Distributed laws)
0 + z = z + 0 = z,
z + (-z) = (-z) + z = 0, z ยท 1 = z.
