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.
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.
Question 2 Let 𝐻={0,±4,±8,±12⋯}. Find all the distinct left cosets of 𝐻 in ℤ (set of
integers).
Given H={0,±4,±8,±12,… }
4→5,5→6,6→4.
(4 5 6)
(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)
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)
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
Step 3: b2∘a
Final Results:
a2∘b=b,b2∘a=a.
