Prove that A_4 (a group of order 4!//2 = 24/2 = 12) has no subgroup H of order 6 by showing:

1) all squares of elements A_4 must be H since (A_4:H) =2

2) All eight 3 -cycles are squares and hence must be in H.

Let G be a finite group, and suppose that H is normal subgroup of G. Show that, for every g ∈ G, the order of gH in G/H must divide the order of g in G. What is the order of the coset [4]42 + 〈[6]42〉 in Z42/〈[6]42〉? Find an example to show that the order of gH in G/H does not always determine the order of g in G. That is, find an example of a group G, and...

3. a) Suppose that H is a proper subgroup of Z that contains 12, 30, and 54. What are the possibilities for what H could be? (HINT: You may use without proof that all subgroups of Z are of the formnZ. We will prove this fact later in the semester.) b) Now, suppose that H is a proper subgroup of Z that contains a and b. What are the possibilities for what H could be?
