Prove that every group of order 4 is isomorphic to $Z_4$ or $Z_2 imes Z_2$. Hint: Let G be any group of order 4, and consider two cases: G has an element of order 4 or it does not. If G does not have an element of order 4, show that G is generated by two commuting elements of order 2

Show that the groups Z4 x Z2 x Z6 and Z12 x Z4 are not isomorphic. Both are noncyclic Abelian groups of order 48.

Let H be the subgroup of S5 generated by the elements (1 2) and (3 4 5). Prove that H is isomorphic to Z6. [Hint: Since every cyclic group of order 6 is isomorphic to Z6, you just need to prove that H is cyclic and has order 6. Or you could alternately just write down an isomorphism.]
