Question 1
Let b and d be distinct nonzero real numbers and c any real number .Prove that
{ b,c +di } is a basis of C over R.

Hint-For any r + si ∈ C, r +si= (r/b-cs/bd)b +s/d(c+di).Hence {b,c + di} spans C over R. Prove that it is also linearly independent over R.

Question 2
If a+bi ∈ C and b≠0 ,prove that C= R(a +bi).
