Hi all, I'm trying to solve the following problem on groups. a,) Let G be a group. If a belongs to G, then the order of a is the same as the order of its inverse. b.) Let G be a group. Let a,b belong to G. Show that a and b have the same order if b=g^(-1)ag, for some element g belonging to G. c.) Let G be a group. Show that ab and ba have the same order. I believe the right and left cancellation laws will come into play in b.) and c.). |
