The document contains solutions to math problems involving groups. It determines whether given sets of elements are groups under specified operations, including multiplication, addition, and function composition. It proves certain sets, such as the non-zero real numbers and transformations of real numbers, form groups with their operations.

Denition and Examples of Groups
4. Determine whether the set G is a group under the operation . (a) G = {2, 4, 6, 8} in Z10 ; a b = ab (b) G = {2x |x Q}; a b = ab (c) G = {x Z | x 1 (mod 5)}; a b = ab (d) G = {x Q | x = 1}; a b = a + b ab (e) G = {x R | x = 1}; a b = ab + a + b (f) G = {c + di C | cd = 0 and c + d = 0}; a b = ab Solution: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) 8. Show that G = multiplication. 15. If G is a group under the stated operation, prove it; if not, give a counterexample. (a) G = Q; a b = a + b + 3 (b) G = {r Q | r = 0}; a b = ab/3 22. Prove that the set of nonzero real numbers is a group under the operation dened by ab= ab, a/b, if a > 0 if a < 0. a b b a a, b R, not both 0 is abelian group under the matrix
31. If a, b R with a = 0, let Ta,b : R R be the function given by Ta,b (x) = ax + b. Prove that the set G = {Ta,b | a, b R with a = 0} forms a nonabelian group under the composition of functions.
