Resource Allocation The Enormous State University History Department offers three courses-Ancient, Medieval, and Modern History-and the chairperson is trying to decide how many sections of each to offer this semester. The department is allowed to offer 45 sections total, there are 5,000 students who would like to take a course, and there are 60 professors to teach them. Sections of Ancient History have 100 students each, sections of Medieval History hold 50 students each, and sections of Modern History have 200 students each. Modern History sections are taught by a team of two professors, while Ancient and Medieval History need only one professor per section. How many sections of each course should the chair schedule in order to offer all the sections that are allowed, accommodate all of the students, and give one teaching assignment to each professor? [HINT: See Example 2.]

- Topic: Group Theory | Abstract Algebra Question: Let G be a finite group of order 45. Prove that G has a normal subgroup of order 5 or order 9, and describe the number of Sylow subgroups for each. Instructions: • Use Sylow's Theorems (existence, conjugacy, and counting). • List divisors of 45 and compute possibilities for n for p = 3 and p = 5. Show that if n = 1, the subgroup is normal. Conclude about group structure using your analysis.arrow_forwardTopic: Group Theory | Abstract Algebra Question: Let G be a finite group of order 45.
