Topic: Subgroups and Cyclic Groups.

Q1: Show that the set 𝐻 = {4𝑚; 𝑚 ∈ ℤ} is subgroup of the group ℤ of integers under
usual addition.
Q2: Show that the set {1, −1, 𝑖, −𝑖} of fourth roots of unity is subgroup of the group
of non-zero complex numbers under multiplication.

under addition?

b) the set H of all even numbers
Q4-5: Verify the set {𝐼, 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶} to be a group under matrix multiplication; Also
identify the group

−1 0 1 0 −1 0
𝑄4) 𝐴=[ ], 𝐵 = [ ], 𝐶 = [ ]
0 1 0 −1 0 −1

0 −1 −1 0 0 1

1 0 0 −1 −1 0

Q6: Let 𝐻 = {𝑎 + 𝑏√−3, 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑄}, where 𝑎, 𝑏 are not both simultaneously zero. Show
that H is subgroup of the group G of non-zero complex numbers under
multiplication.

Q7: Let G be a cyclic group of order 20. Find all its subgroups and the order of
elements a8 and a12 in G.

Q8: Let G be a group of permutations on S4 generated by 𝑎 = (1 2 3 4) and


𝑏 = (2 4). Identify the group and find all its elements.
