20. Prove that S, has order n!. [Hint: There are n possible images for 1; after one
has been chosen, there are n -
1 possible images for 2; etc.]
21. Suppose G is a group with operation +. Define a new operation # on G by
a # b = b * a. Prove that G is a group under #.
22. List the elements of the group D; (the symmetries of a regular pentagon).
[Hint: The group has order 10.]
23. Let SL(2, R) be the set of all 2 X 2 matrices
a b
such that a, b, c, deR
c d
and ad = be = 1. Prove that SL(2, R) is a group under matrix multiplication.
It is called the special linear group.
24. Prove that the set of nonzero real numbers is a group under the operation *
defined by
Sab
if a > 0
a * b =
la/b if a < 0.
25. Prove that R* × R is a group under the operation + defined by (a, b) * (c, d) =
(ac, bc + d).
