Hi can someone answer me the three question please
1. Consider the set {1, i ,-1,-i} under our usual multiplication. Does this form a group? Complete an Operation Table.
2. describe the symmetry group of of the figure:
3. Describe the symmetry group of the figure:
Solution
1) The given set of elements formed a closed group under the operation (multiplication)
The first set forms a group since there exists an identity element (1), there exists inverse of each and every element
Inverse of 1 = 1
Inverse of -1 = -1
Inverse of i = -i
Inverse of -i = i
All the result of aXb lies in the group, hence the closure property is satisfied
associativity is satisfied i.e. aX(bXc) = (aXb)Xc
2) The given group has three tentacles structure and is a planar group, hence the group is C3
Symmetry in Cn group is across 2*pi/n radians which is equal to 2pi/3 radians or 120 degree
3) The given group has six tentacles structure and is a planar group, hence the group is C6
Symmetry in Cn group is across 2*pi/n radians which is equal to 2pi/6 radians or 60 degree
| Multiplication (X) | 1 | i | -1 | -i |
| 1 | 1 | i | -1 | -i |
| i | i | -1 | -i | 1 |
| -1 | -1 | -i | 1 | i |
| -i | -i | 1 | i | -1 |
