Let f: Q8 to D8 be a homomorphism from the quaternion Q8 to the
dihedral group D8 of order 8. Suppose that f (i) = rs and f( j) =
r^2.
(a) Find f (k) and f(-k) (expressed in standard form r^i*s^i for
suitable i and j) ·
(b) List the elements in the kernel of f in standard form.
(c) The quotient group Q8/ker(f) is isomorphic to which one of
the groups C2, C4 or C2xC2 why?
Q8. Using a machine element , describe fatigue in engineering
materials . Why is fatigue loading more dangerous than normal
loading. As a design engineer, how can you prevent failure by
fatigue.
a.) Write down the formulas for all homomorphisms from Z10 into
Z25.
b.)Write down the formulas for all homomorphisms from Z24 into
Z18.
c.)Write down the formulas for all homomorphisms from Z into
Z10.
d.)Extra: Define φ : C x → Rx by φ(a + bi) = a 2 + b 2 for all a
+ bi ∈ C x where R is the real numbers and C is the complex
numbers. Show that φ is a homomorphism.
