Let D10 denote the dihedral group of the hexagon. Thus, D10 is generated by r and f with r10=f2=1 and fr=r-1f=r9f
(a) Show that D10 has a subgroups N and M such that
i. N ∼= D5 (isomorphic to D5)
ii. M is a cyclic subgroup group of order 2
iii. N ∩ M = {e}
iv. N and M are each normal in D10
v. Every element in g ∈ D10 is a product g = nm of elements n ∈ N
and m ∈ M.
(b) Prove that if G is any group with normal subgroups N and M
such that N ∩ M = {e}, then
nm = mn for all n ∈ N and m ∈ M.
