Problem 1. Let n > 3, and let D2n be the dihedral group of order 2n. Here we prove that there is no surjective homomorphism $ : D2n → Zn. (1) Show the result is true if n is odd. (2) Show the result is true if n = 4. (3) (Not-so-hard challenge; e > 0 extra credit points) Show the result is true for all n.
