(6) Define a binary operation ∗ on the set G = R^2 by (x, y) ∗ (x', y') = (x + x', y + y'e^x)

(a) Show that (G, ∗) is a group. Specifically, prove that the associative law holds, find the identity e, and find the inverse of (x, y) ∈ G.

(b) Show that the group G is not abelian.

(c). Show that the set H= (x*x=e) is a subgroup of G.

Expert Solution

a. We proved G is a group

b. We shown G is not abelian

c. H is a trivial subgroup of G

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...

Suppose that a set G has a binary operation on it that has the following properties: 1. The operation ◦ is associative, that is: for all a,b,c ∈ G, a◦(b◦c)=(a◦b)◦c 2. There is a right identity, e: For all a∈G a◦e=a 3. Every element has a right inverse: For all a∈G there is a^-1 such that a◦a^-1=e Prove that this operation makes G a group. You must show that the right inverse of each element is a left inverse and...

We consider the operation of the symmetric group S4 on the set R[x,y,z,a] through permutation of an unknown integer. a) Calculate the length of the orbit of polynomial x2+y2+z+a. How many permutations leave this polynomial unchanged? b) Is a polynomial of length 5 under this operation possible? c) Show the existence of polynomials with orbit length 12 and 4.

Let R[x, y] be the set of polynomials in two coefficients. Prove that R[x, y] is a vector space over R. A polynomial f(x, y) is called degree d homogenous polynomial if the combined degree in x and y of each term is d. Let Vd be the set of degree d homogenous polynomials from R[x, y]. Is Vd a subspace of R[x, y]? Prove your answer.

Consider the equation x^2+(y-2)^2 and the relation “(x, y) R (0, 2)”, where R is read as “has distance 1 of”. For example, “(0, 3) R (0, 2)”, that is, “(0, 3) has distance 1 of (0, 2)”. This relation can also be read as “(x, y) belongs to the circle of radius 1 with center (0, 2)”. In other words: “(x, y) satisfies this equation if, and only if, (x, y) R (0, 2)”. Does this equation determine a...
