An element is called a square if it can be expressed in the form b2 for some b. Suppose that G is an Abelian group and H is a subgroup of G. If every element of H is a square and every element of G/H is a square, prove that every element of G is a square. Does your proof remain valid when “square” is replaced by “nth power,” where n is any integer?
