An element a in a field F is called a primitive
nth root of unity if n is the smallest positive
integer such that an=1. For example, i is a primitive
4th root of unity in C, whereas -1 is not a primitive 4th root of
unity (even though (-1)4=1).
(a) Find all primitive 4th roots of unity in F5
(b) Find all primitive 3rd roots of unity in F7
(c) Find all primitive 6th roots of unity in F7...
If you prove by strong induction a statement of
the form ∀ n ≥ 1P(n), the inductive step proves the following
implications (multiple correct answers are possible):
a) (P(1) ∧ P(2)) => P(3)
b) (P(1) ∧ P(2) ∧ P(3)) => P(4)
c) P(1) => P(2)
Prove that all rotations and translations form a subgroup of the
group of all reflections and products of reflections in Euclidean
Geometry. What theorems do we use to show that this is a
subgroup?
I know that I need to show that the subset is
closed
identity is in the subset
every element in the subset has an inverse in the subset.
I don't have to prove associative property since that is already
proven with Isometries. What theorems for rotations...
Let Rx denote the group of nonzero real numbers under
multiplication and let R+ denote the group of positive
real numbers under multiplication. Let H be the subgroup {1, −1} of
Rx. Prove that Rx ≈ R+ ⊕ H.
