Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that N is a finite subgroup of a group G and suppose N=S for some subset S of G

To prove that an element gG normalizes N if and only if gSg-1N

Now, N is a finite subgroup of a group G generated by S which is a subset of G.

Therefore, N can be written as N=s1,s2,s3,...,sn where sk is an element of S for k=1,2,3,...,n

Thus, S is contained in N i.e. SN.

Now, let us consider that an element gG normalizes N

To prove that gSg-1N

Since g normalizes N, therefore, for all xN , gxg-1N

Let yS be an arbitrary element. Since SN, therefore, gyg-1N

As y is chosen arbitrarily, for all ySgyg-1N which implies gSg-1N
