Question 1

What is the definition of a subgroup?

  • A subgroup can only be empty
  • A non-empty subset that is a group under the same operation
  • Any subset of a group

💡 Hint: Consider the properties related to subsets.

Question 2

Can closure alone guarantee a subset is a subgroup in infinite groups?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of it being infinite.

Question 1

Prove that every cyclic subgroup is abelian.

💡 Hint: Think of how elements generated by powers commute.

Question 2

Given the group of real numbers under addition, show that subsets like {x ∈ ℝ | x ≤ 0} and {x ∈ ℝ | x ≥ 0} are not subgroups.

💡 Hint: Can you find elements in the subsets that fail closure?
