Let G be a group. (consider the following parts that go together):

(1) Prove that (a^-1ba)ⁿ = a^-1bⁿa for any a,b in G, and any integer n.

(2) Prove that |xax^-1| = |a| for any a, x in G.

(3) Prove: If a is the only element of order two in G, then a lies in Z(G) where Z is the center of the group, G.
