Question:
4. Lagrange's theorem Prove Lagrange's theorem. For each a ∈ G, define the set
$$
aH := {a o h | h ∈ H}.
$$
Show the following.
(a) The set G is the union of all sets aH, where a ranges over G.
(b) For
a, b ∈ G, if the sets aH and bH have a nonempty intersection then they are equal.
(c) For
a, b ∈ G, the sets aH and bH are of the same size. (Hint: Consider the function f: aH → bH with f(a * h) = b * h and argue that f has an inverse.)
(d) Use (a)-
(c) to prove Lagrange's theorem.
(e) What is the equivalence relation R that corresponds to this partition? That is, can you define when aH = bH holds based on an equation in the group in terms of a and b?
