1.     Let G be the group of integers under the operation of addition, and G’ be the group of all even integers under the operation of addition. Show that the function f: G à G’ defined by f(a)=2a is an isomorphism.

 

2.     Determine if the following structure [S,.] is semigroup, monoid, group or none of these. Name the identity element if the structure is group or monoid.

 

·        S = N x N; (x1,y1) . (x2,y2) = (x1+x2, y1y2)

 

3.     Determine whether the given function is homomorphism from the group on the left to the one on the right. Is it also isomorphism?

·        [R*, . ] , [R*, . ]  (where R* denotes the set of nonzero real numbers);        f(x) = |x|
