Question

Prove that G = <x, y | x2 = yn= e, xyx = y-1> is isomorphic to Dn.

Expert Solution
Step 1

We have to prove that G=x, y|x2=yn=e, xyx=y1 is isomorphic to Dn.

That is We have to prove that GDn.

First of all we will prove that x,y=x,xy.

Clearly x and xy belongs to x,y.

So, x,xyx,y

Also x and x1xy=y belongs to x,xy

Hence, x,y=x,xy.

Also, 

xy2=xyxy=xyxySince, xyx=y1=y1y=e

Hence, xy2=e.
