12. Let a and b be elements of a group G such that b has order 2 and ab = ba-1. (a) Show that a” b = ba-n for all integers n. Hint: Evaluate the product (bab)(bab) in two different ways to show that ba+b = a-2, and then extend this method. (b) Show that the set S = {a”, ba" |...
1. Let a and b be elements of a group
. Prove that ab and ba have the same order.
2. Show by example that the product of elements of nite order in a
group need not
have nite order. What if the group is abelian?
Let G = {1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13} and let represent the binary operation of multiplication modulo 14. (a) Prove that (G, ) is a group. (You may assume that multiplication is associative.) (b) List the cyclic subgroups of (G, ). (c) Explain why (G, ) is not isomorphic to the symmetric group S3. (d) State an isomorphism between (G, ) and (Z6, +).
List the elements of 4Z/16Z and create the group table.
2. Let G be an abelian group. Suppose that a and b are elements of G of finite order and that the order of a is relatively prime to the order of b. Prove that <a>n<b>= <1> and <a, b> = <ab> .
1. Let G = {a, b, c, d, e} be a set with an associative binary operation multiplication such that ab = ba = d, ed = de = c. Prove that G under this multiplication cannot consist of a group. Hint: Assume that G under this operation does consist of a group. Try to complete the multiplication table and deduce a contradiction. 2. Let G be a group containing 4 elements a, b, c, and d. Under the group...
1. Suppose a and b are elements of a group G. Prove, by induction, (bab−1)n = banb−1 . Hence prove that if a has order m, then bab−1 also has order m. Deduce from question (#1) that in any group ab and ba have the same order (you may assume ab has finite order). The assertion in Question (#1) can be generalized to an assertion about isomorphisms. State and prove it.
4. (a) For n eZ, define multiplication mod n by ao b-a b (where indicates regular real number multiplication), prove that On is a binary operation on Zn. That is, (Hint your proof will be very similar to the proof for homework 4 problem 7ab) (b) Let n E Z. Is the binary algebraic structure 〈L,On) always a group? Explain. (c) Prove There exists be Zn such that a n I if and only if (a, n)1. (d) It is...

(13) The operation table for Do, the dihedral group of order 12, is given in Table 27.6 Table 27.6 Operation table for D (a) Find the elements of the set Ds/Z(Ds). (b) Write the operation table for the group De/Z(D6) (c) The examples of quotient groups we have seen so far have all been Abelian groups.Is it true that every quotient group is Abelian? Explain.
