1. Let a and b be elements of a group
. Prove that ab and ba have the same order.
2. Show by example that the product of elements of nite order in a
group need not
have nite order. What if the group is abelian?
Let a and b be elements of a group G such that b has order 2 and ab=ba^-1 12. Let a and b be elements of a group G such that b has order 2 and ab = ba-1. (a) Show that a” b = ba-n for all integers n. Hint: Evaluate the product (bab)(bab) in two different ways to show that ba+b = a-2, and then extend this method. (b) Show that the set S = {a”, ba" |...
2. Let G be an abelian group. Suppose that a and b are elements of G of finite order and that the order of a is relatively prime to the order of b. Prove that <a>n<b>= <1> and <a, b> = <ab> .
1. Let H- ta + bija, b e R, ab 20). Prove or disaprove that H is a subgroup of C under addition. 2. Let a and b be elements of an Abelian group and let n be any integer. Prove that (ab)"- a
1. Suppose a and b are elements of a group G. Prove, by induction, (bab−1)n = banb−1 . Hence prove that if a has order m, then bab−1 also has order m. Deduce from question (#1) that in any group ab and ba have the same order (you may assume ab has finite order). The assertion in Question (#1) can be generalized to an assertion about isomorphisms. State and prove it.
44. a.Let A and B be two 2 × 2 matrices,Let Tr denote the trace and det denote the determinant. Prove that Tr(AB)-Tr(BA) and det(AB) - det(BA). b. If A is any matrix in SLa(R), prove that det ((-A-t +1 where t = Tr(A). 44. a.Let A and B be two 2 × 2 matrices,Let Tr denote the trace and det denote the determinant.

Let G be a group, and let a ∈ G. Let φa : G −→ G be defined by φa(g) = aga−1 for all g ∈ G. (a) Prove that φa is an automorphism of G. (b) Let b ∈ G. What is the image of the element ba under the automorphism φa? (c) Why does this imply that |ab| = |ba| for all elements a, b ∈ G? 9. (5 points each) Let G be a group, and let...
