need help with attached modern algebra. I know that subgroup must be non empty, closed under product and inverses but need help showing it. And showing elements are distinct. Thanks

**Problem 8: Group Theory Exploration**

Let \( G \) be a group and \( x \in G \).

(a) Show that \( H = \{x^n \mid n \in \mathbb{Z}\} \) is a subgroup of \( G \).

(b) Show that the elements \( x^n \), where \( n \in \mathbb{Z} \), are all distinct if and only if \( |x| = \infty \).
