Find all units in the ring $ Z[i] $= { $a+bi$ : $a,b$ ϵ $Z$ }.



I faced a similar problem to find all the invertible matrices in $Z$. I concluded the solution must be all matrices of det ($pm1$). I don't know whether this solution is correct or accurate but I'm clueless for above problem.



Edit: The chapter was on matrices so I assumed the author was asking for such matrices, but author just said "Find all units" (He may have meant elements, idk).

You are right. With $$1=begin{pmatrix}1&0\0&1end{pmatrix}, i=begin{pmatrix}0&-1\1&0end{pmatrix}$$ you can write any $a+bimid a,binBbb Z$ as $$begin{pmatrix}a&-b\b&aend{pmatrix}$$



That is $Bbb Z[i]congleft{begin{pmatrix}a&-b\b&aend{pmatrix}mid a,binBbb Zright}$. Can you take it from here?
