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.

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" |...
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?

Theorem 7.5 Let G be a group. (1) G has a unique identity element (2) Cancellation Laws. For all a, b,ce G, if ab ac, then b-c. For all a, b,c E G, if ba-ca, then (3) Each element of G has a unique inverse: For each a E G, there exists a unique element d e G such that ad-e and da e . Prove that each element of a finite group G appears exactly once in each row...

Question 1# (a) Let G be a connected graph and C a non-trivial circuit in G. Prove directly that if an edge e fa, b is removed from C then the subgraph S C G that remains is still connected. "Directly' means using only the definitions of the concepts involved, in this case connected' and 'circuit'. Hint: If z and y are vertices of G connected by path that includes e, is there an alternative path connecting x to y...
