Direct product of groups: Let (G, ∗G) and (H, ∗H) be groups, with identity elements eG and eH, respectively. Let g be any element of G, and h any element of H. (a) Show that the set G × H has a natural group structure under the operation (∗G, ∗H). What is the identity element of G × H with this structure? What is the inverse of the element (g, h) ∈ G × H? (b) Show that the map...

Example 3.5: Again let X = Y = R. Define g by g(x) = x2. The graph of this function has the familiar parabolic shape as in Figure 3.1(b). Then for example, g([0, 1]) = [0, 1], g([1, 2]) = [1, 4], g({−1, 1}) = {1}, g−1([0, 1]) = [−1, 1], g−1([1, 2]) = [− √ 2, −1]∪[1, √ 2], g−1([0, ∞)) = R. *I need help understanding why each example in bold is the answer it is* *Please explain...
