- 15. Let and be elements of a ring. Prove that the equation has a unique solution.arrow_forward39. Let be the set of all matrices in that have the form for arbitrary real numbers , , and . Prove or disprove that is a group with respect to multiplication.arrow_forwardExercises In Exercises, decide whether each of the given sets is a group with respect to the indicated operation. If it is not a group, state a condition in Definition that fails to hold. 9. The set of all complex numbers that have absolute value , with operation multiplication. Recall that the absolute value of a complex number written in the form, with and real, is given by.arrow_forward
- In Exercises 114, decide whether each of the given sets is a group with respect to the indicated operation. If it is not a group, state a condition in Definition 3.1 that fails to hold. The set of all complex numbers x that have absolute value 1, with operation addition. Recall that the absolute value of a complex number x written in the form x=a+bi, with a and b real, is given by | x |=| a+bi |=a2+b2arrow_forward11. Show that defined by is not a homomorphism.arrow_forwardLet I be an ideal in a ring R with unity. Prove that if I contains an element a that has a multiplicative inverse, then I=R.arrow_forward
- Use mathematical induction to prove that if a1,a2,...,an are elements of a group G, then (a1a2...an)1=an1an11...a21a11. (This is the general form of the reverse order law for inverses.)arrow_forward16. Suppose that is an abelian group with respect to addition, with identity element Define a multiplication in by for all . Show that forms a ring with respect to these operations.arrow_forward25. Figure 6.3 gives addition and multiplication tables for the ring in Exercise 34 of section 5.1. Use these tables, together with addition and multiplication tables for to find an isomorphism from toarrow_forward
