Solution

(i) The order of 1 in the group C× is 1. This is because 1 raised to any power is always 1, so the smallest positive integer n such that 1^n = 1 is 1.

(ii) The order of -1 in the group C× is 2. This is because (-1)^2 = 1, and 2 is the smallest positive integer such that (-1)^n = 1.

(iii) The order of 3 in the group C× is infinite. This is because 3^n will never equal 1 for any positive integer n.

(iv) The order of i in the group C× is 4. This is because i^4 = 1, and 4 is the smallest positive integer such that i^n = 1.
