Consider the set of numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 with multiplication (mod 8) as the law of combination. Write the multiplication table to show that this is a group. [To multiply two numbers (mod 8), you multiply them and then take the remainder after dividing by 8. For example,

- Let a,b,c, and d be elements of a group G. Find an expression for (abcd)1 in terms of a1,b1,c1, and d1.arrow_forwardUse mathematical induction to prove that if a1,a2,...,an are elements of a group G, then (a1a2...an)1=an1an11...a21a11. (This is the general form of the reverse order law for inverses.)arrow_forwardFind the order of each of the following elements in the multiplicative group of units . for for for forarrow_forward
- Is Z6 (set of integers modulo 6) a group under addition? If your answer is yes, prove your answer. If your answer is no, explain why it is not a group. Is Z6 (set of integers modulo 6) a group under multiplication? If your answer is yes, prove your answer. If your answer is no, explain why it is not a group.arrow_forwardIf a, b, and c are group elements and |a| = 6, |b| = 7, express(a4c-2b4)-1 without using negative exponents.arrow_forwardIn an abstract algebra equation about groups, is "taking the inverse of both sides of an equation" an acceptable operation? I know you can right/left multiply equations by elements of the group, but was wondering if one can just take the inverse of both sides?arrow_forward
- Find S4/N elements and show that they can be combined into a group. N={e,(23),(234),(243),(12)(34), (123), (132), (134),(13)(24), (142),(143),(14)(23)}arrow_forwardGive the Cayley table for the group Z×12 under multiplication modulo 12.arrow_forwardShow, by example, that in a factor group G/H it can happen thataH = bH but |a| ≠ |b|.arrow_forward
