Write down a careful prove of the following theorem by proving a. and b. Let G be a group with respect to a binary operation that is written as multiplication. Let H be a nonempty subset of a group. Then H is a subgroup of G if and only if a, b elementof H imply that ab^-1 elementof H a. lf H is a subgroup of G, then a, b elementof H imply that ab^-1 elementof H b.If H be a nonempty subset of a group and a, b elementof H imply that ab^-1 elementof H, then H is a subgroup of G.
Solution
Let G be a group. Show that a nonempty subset H is a subgroup of G if any only if ab1H for any a,bH.
The forward direction is quite easy. Suppose H is a subgroup. Then by closure, abH for any a,bH.
Every element has an inverse. Hence, if bH, then b1H. Hence, by closure again, ab1H.
Backward direction, suppose ab1H for any a,bH.
Take aa, b in H then c=b1H, so that ac1=a(b1)1=abH.
thus H is a subgroup of G.
