- 15. Let and be elements of a ring. Prove that the equation has a unique solution.arrow_forwardExercises In Exercises, decide whether each of the given sets is a group with respect to the indicated operation. If it is not a group, state a condition in Definition that fails to hold. 9. The set of all complex numbers that have absolute value , with operation multiplication. Recall that the absolute value of a complex number written in the form, with and real, is given by.arrow_forward39. Let be the set of all matrices in that have the form for arbitrary real numbers , , and . Prove or disprove that is a group with respect to multiplication.arrow_forward
- In Exercises 114, decide whether each of the given sets is a group with respect to the indicated operation. If it is not a group, state a condition in Definition 3.1 that fails to hold. The set of all complex numbers x that have absolute value 1, with operation addition. Recall that the absolute value of a complex number x written in the form x=a+bi, with a and b real, is given by | x |=| a+bi |=a2+b2arrow_forward11. Show that defined by is not a homomorphism.arrow_forwardExamples 5 and 6 of Section 5.1 showed that P(U) is a commutative ring with unity. In Exercises 4 and 5, let U={a,b}. Is P(U) a field? If not, find all nonzero elements that do not have multiplicative inverses. [Type here][Type here]arrow_forward
- Let I be an ideal in a ring R with unity. Prove that if I contains an element a that has a multiplicative inverse, then I=R.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_forward16. Suppose that is an abelian group with respect to addition, with identity element Define a multiplication in by for all . Show that forms a ring with respect to these operations.arrow_forward
