3. Let G be the subgroup of GL2(R) consisting of matrices of the form $G = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} x & y \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \right\}$, and H the subgroup of G consisting of matrices of the form $H = \left\{ \begin{bmatrix} t & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \mid t \in \mathbb{R}_{>0} \right\}$. An element in G can be represented by a point (x, y) in R² (minus the y-axis). Draw the partition of the plane into left and right cosets of H.

Let G and H be the following subgroups of GL2(R): G = {[x y], [0 1]}, H = {[x 0], [0 1]} with x and y real and x > 0. An element of G can be represented by a point in the right half plane. Make sketches showing the partitions of the half plane into left cosets and into right cosets of H.

Problem 5. Consider the group G of all matrices of the form [a b; 0 1] where a and b are real numbers with a ā 0. (This is essentially the group as in problem 3 on homework 3, so look back to that to find useful formulas.) The product is matrix multiplication. (a) Show the every commutator in G equals a matrix of the form [1 x; 0 1]. (b) Show that every matrix of the form [1 x; 0 1] equals a commutator of two elements of G. (c) Let H denote the set of all matrices of the form [1 x; 0 1], where x is any real number. Show that H is a subgroup of G. (d) What is the commutator subgroup of G?
