1. Let G be a group and H a nonempty subset of G. Then \( H \leq G \) if \( ab^{-1} \in H \) whenever \( a, b \in H \).

2. Let G be a group and H a subgroup of G. Show that \( C(H) \leq G \).

3. If \( H_\alpha : \alpha \in A \) are a family of subgroups of the group G, show that \( \bigcap_{\alpha \in A} H_\alpha \) is a subgroup of G.

4. Let \( H = \{a + bi \,|\, a, b \in \mathbb{R}, \, ab \geq 0\} \). Determine whether H is a subgroup of the complex numbers \( \mathbb{C} \) with addition.

5. Let \( a \) be an element of order \( n \) in a group and let \( k \) be a positive integer. Then \( \langle a^k \rangle = \langle a^{\gcd(n,k)} \rangle \).

6. Let \( a \) be an element of order \( n \) in a group and let \( k \) be a positive integer. Then \( |a^k| = \frac{n}{\gcd(n,k)} \).

7. Every subgroup of a cyclic group is cyclic.

8. Determine the subgroup lattice of \( \mathbb{Z}_{36} \).

9. Prove that a group of order 3 must be cyclic.

Expert Solution
Step 1

To prove : ak=agcd(n,k)

Let set d = gcd(n,k)  and then write k=dr by definition of gcd,

We prove this by showing that each subgroup contains the cyclic generator
of the other side.

()We can say ak=adr=(ad)r 

akagcd(n,k)

() By using gcd as a linear combination.Let d=ns+kr,for some s,rZ

Then ad=ans+kr=(an)s.(ak)r akrak

Hence proved.
