ASSIGNMENTNO#01 MATH405

Let 𝐺 be a group of order 84. Suppose that 𝐾 is a proper subgroup of G and |𝐾|=𝑛.
1. Use Lagrange’s theorem to find the possible values of 𝑛.
2. Find the values of 𝑛 for which 𝐾 is cyclic subgroup. Give reason for the answer.

SOLUTION 1: Group of order 84

Part 1: Possible values of n

Using Lagrange's Theorem,

∣K∣=n|K| = n∣K∣=n must divide ∣G∣=84

The divisors of 84 are:


1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84.
Since K is a proper subgroup, n≠84

Thus, the possible values of n are:


1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42.

Part 2: n for which K is cyclic

For K to be cyclic, n must equal p^k (prime power) or 2p (where p is prime, and 2p≤84), since
cyclic subgroups correspond to such orders.

 Prime powers dividing 84: 2,4,7.


 Orders 2p: 6 (from 2×3), and 14(from 2×7).
Thus, possible n for cyclic subgroups are:
1,2,4,6,7,14.

Question 2 Let 𝐻={0,±4,±8,±12⋯}. Find all the distinct left cosets of 𝐻 in ℤ (set of
integers).

SOLUTION 02: Cosets of H in Z

Given H={0,±4,±8,±12,… }

the subgroup H consists of multiples of 4.


The cosets of H are:
H+0=H,H+1,H+2,H+3.
These are distinct because:

H+0={0,±4,±8,… }, H+1={1,5,9,… }, H+2={2,6,10,… }, H+3={3,7,11,… }

Thus, there are 4 distinct left cosets:


H,H+1,H+2,H+3.

Question 03 Express the following permutation as product of disjoint cycles: (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8


9)
(7
16543298)
SOLUTION O3
Permutation:
(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 7 1 6 5 4 3 2 9 8)
1→7, 7→3, 3→9, 9→8, 8→2, 2→1.
This forms the cycle:
(1 7 3 9 8 2)

Step 2: Check remaining elements:

The elements 4,5,6 are not in the cycle above. Follow 4:

4→5,5→6,6→4.

This forms the cycle:

(4 5 6)

Final Disjoint Cycle Decomposition:

The permutation can be written as:

(1 7 3 9 8 2)

(4 5 6)

Question 4 Let 𝑎= (1 2 3 4 5 6)
(6 5 4 3 2 1) and 𝑏= (1 2 3 4 5 6)

(6 3 2 5 4 1). Find 𝑎2∘𝑏 and


𝑏2∘ 𝑎.

SOLUTION 04 :Compute a2∘b and b2∘a

A=(1 2 3 4 5 6 6 5 4 3 2 1)

B=(1 2 3 4 5 6 6 3 2 5 4 1)

Step 1: a^2 and b^2

a2=a∘a=(1→6→1,2→5→2,…)=id (identity).

b2=b∘b=(1→6→1,2→3→2,…)=id (identity).

Step 2: a2∘b

Since a2=ida^2= a2∘b=b

Step 3: b2∘a

Since b2=id b2∘a=a

Final Results:

a2∘b=b,b2∘a=a.
