Homework #7 Due: Wednesday, November 4 Reading: For Fri., October 30: For Wed., November 4:
3.5 3.6
Problems to turn in:
3.3: 2, 4, 5, 8. 3.4: 2, 8, 15, 16. Notes: Caution: In 3.3 #8, you are asked to show that if H1 6 G1 and H2 6 G2 , then H1 H2 is a subgroup of G1 G2 . It is not true that every subgroup of G1 G2 is a direct product of a subgroup of G1 and a subgroup of G2 . Can you find an example of a group with a subgroup not of this form? On 3.4 #2, construct the group tables and find a relabelling so that the tables become the same. You need not find an isomorphism (map) explicitly. Also, observe that Z 7 is cyclic, with generator [3]. It will be easier to find a relabelling if you list the elements of Z 7 in the order of powers of [3] instead of numerical order. Hint for 3.4 #16(b): Use 3.1 #22 from Homework #5.
Problems to be aware of:
3.3: 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17. 3.4: 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20. [Problems in bold contain results we will assume and use in the course.]
