Step 1
This means that when we multiply any two elements of G, we take the remainder when the product is divided by 10. The group is said to be generated by 2, denoted as G = <2>, which means that all elements of the group can be obtained by repeatedly multiplying 2 by Show more…

8. Let G = {[1], [5], [7], [11]}, where [a] = {x ∈ ℤ : x ≡ a (mod 12)}. (a) Draw the Cayley table for (G, ·) where · is the operation of multiplication modulo 12. (b) Use your Cayley table to prove that (G, ·) is a group. You may assume that the operation · is associative. (c) From class we know that (ℤ₄, +) and (ℤ₂ × ℤ₂, +) are two non-isomorphic groups that each have four elements. Which one of these groups is isomorphic to (G, ·)? Explain your answer briefly.

Let G denote the group (Z2 × Z2, +), and let H denote the group ({1, 3, 5, 7}, ◦) where x ◦ y is defined to be x × y (mod 8). (a) Write out the full Cayley tables for G and H. (b) Are groups G and H isomorphic? Explain why or why not.

Question 7 (3 marks). Let (G, ∘) and (H, ∗) be groups. We define a new group denoted by G ⊕ H whose underlying set is G H = {(g, h) | g ∈ G and h ∈ H} with componentwise multiplication, that is, the binary operation in G ⊕ H is defined as follows: (g1, h1)(g2, h2) = (g1 ∘ g2, h1 ∗ h2). (a) What are the elements in the group Z2 ⊕ U(6)? Which one is the identity element? Write down the Cayley table of Z2 ⊕ U(6). (b) Explain whether Z2 ⊕ U(6) ≅ Z4 or not. (c) Show that G ⊕ H is indeed a group. (Denote the identity element of G by eG and that of H by eH.) (d) Prove that G is isomorphic to some subgroup of G ⊕ H.
