3. Consider the subgroup H = {1, 10, 26} of U37. Verify that H is equal to (10)
{10k | ke Z}, i.e., the cyclic subgroup generated by 10. (This computation is re-
ferred to in Section 22.2.)

4. Consider the subgroup H = {1, 10, 26} of U37.
(a) Find and compare the orders of 6 € U37 and 6H E U37/H. +
(b) Repeat part (a) with 34 € U37 and 34H € U37/H. It might help to write 34 as
-3 modulo 37.
(c) Repeat part (a) with 4 € U37 and 4H € U37/H.
(d) What conjecture do you have?
5. Consider the subgroup H = {1, 10, 26} of U37. Let a € U37 with ord(a) = 18. Show
that (aH)¹8 = 1H. What does this say about the order of aH in U37/H? Explain.
6. Our friends are working on Exercise #4:
Elizabeth: Phew! I just found that ord (4) = 18 in U37.
Anita: Great! So ord (4H) must be 18 as well, since (4H)18 = 418H = 1H.
Elizabeth: But do we know if 18 is the smallest positive exponent for 4H?
Anita: Sure. If n is less than 18, then (4H)" = 4" H can't equal 1H, because 4" #1.
How would you respond to Anita?
F. Prove: Consider the subgroup H =
{1, 10, 26) of U37. Let aH E U37/H where
a € U37. Then ord (aH) in U37/H is a divisor of ord(a) in U37.
Consider the subgroup H = {1, 10, 26} of U37.
(a) Find (15H)-¹, i.e., the multiplicative inverse of 15H in U37/H.
() Find (28)-1
