3. Suppose G = <a> is a cyclic group of order 15 (i.e. a has order 15), and consider the subgroup K = <a^3>.

(a) Determine the order of K.

(b) Use Lagrange’s theorem to determine the index of K in G, and then list the distinct cosets of K in G explicitly. (Hint: Consider the cosets Ke and Kb for b does not ∈K

Problem 8. Suppose that H has index 2 in G. Prove that H is normal in G. (Hint: Usually to prove that a subgroup is normal, the conjugation criterion (Theorem 17.4) is easier to use than the definition, but this problem is a rare exception. Since H has index 2 in G, there are only two left cosets, one of which is H itself – use this to describe the other coset. Then do the same for right 1 cosets....
