Question
![**(1).** Let \( G \) be a group and \( a \in G \) be a certain fixed element of \( G \). The centralizer of \( a \) in \( G \) is
\[
C(a) = \{ g \in G \mid ga = ag \}
\]
i.e., it is a set of all elements in \( G \) that commute with \( a \). Then use either one-step or two-step subgroup test to show
\[
C(a) \leq G
\]
**(2).** \( \mathbb{Z}_{20} \) is a group under addition modulo 20. Provided that \( K \leq \mathbb{Z}_{20} \), \( 12, 16 \in K \) and moreover, \( K \) has the smallest order among all possible subgroups of \( \mathbb{Z}_{20} \) containing 12 and 16. Then list all elements of \( K \).
**(3).** Let \( G = GL(2, \mathbb{R}) \). Then find the centralizer
\[
C \left( \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \right)
