- Use mathematical induction to prove that if a1,a2,...,an are elements of a group G, then (a1a2...an)1=an1an11...a21a11. (This is the general form of the reverse order law for inverses.)arrow_forward49. a. The binomial coefficients are defined in Exercise of Section. Use induction on to prove that if is a prime integer, then is a factor of for . (From Exercise of Section, it is known that is an integer.) b. Use induction on to prove that if is a prime integer, then is a factor of .arrow_forwardTrue or False Label each of the following statements as either true or false. 2. A permutation can be uniquely expressed as a product of transpositions.arrow_forward
- Let x and y be integers, and let m and n be positive integers. Use mathematical induction to prove the statements in Exercises 1823. ( The definitions of xn and nx are given before Theorem 2.5 in Section 2.1 ) n(x+y)=nx+nyarrow_forwardLet be integers, and let be positive integers. Use induction to prove the statements in Exercises . ( The definitions of and are given before Theorem in Section .) 18.arrow_forwardLet p be prime and G the multiplicative group of units Up=[a]Zp[a][0]. Use Lagranges Theorem in G to prove Fermats Little Theorem in the form [a]p=[a] for any aZ. (compare with Exercise 54 in section 2.5) Let p be a prime integer. Prove Fermats Little Theorem: For any positive integer a,apa(modp). (Hint: Use induction on a, with p held fixed.)arrow_forward
