ISBN-13: 978-0-32-139037-0 ISBN-10: 0-321-39037-7 Preface for Seventh Edition This manual contains solutions to all exercises in the text, except those odd-numbered exercises for which fairly lengthy complete solutions are given in the answers at the back of the text. Then reference is simply given to the text answers to save typing. I prepared these solutions myself. While I tried to be accurate, there are sure to be the inevitable mistakes and typos. An author reading proof tends to see what he or she wants to see. However, the instructor should find this manual adequate for the purpose for which it is intended. Morgan, Vermont J.B.F July, 2002 Preface for Eighth Edition In keeping with the seventh edition, this manual contains solutions to all exercises in the text except for some of the odd-numbered exercises whose solutions are in the back of the text book. I made few changes to solutions to exercises that were in the seventh edition. However, solutions to new exercises do not always include as much detail as would be found in the seventh edition. My thinking is that instructors teaching the class would use the solution manual to see the idea behind a solution and they would easily fill in the routine details. As in the seventh edition, I tried to be accurate. However, there are sure to be some errors. I hope instructors find the manual helpful. Denton, Texas March, 2020 N.B. CONTENTS 0.

Sets and Relations 17. Conjecture: | P ( A ) |= 2 s = 2| A|. Proof The number of subsets of a set A depends only on the cardinality of A, not on what the elements of A actually are. Suppose B = {1, 2, 3, ยท ยท ยท , s โˆ’ 1} and A = {1, 2, 3, ยท ยท ยท , s}. Then A has all the elements of B plus the one additional element s. All subsets of B are also subsets of A; these are precisely the subsets of A that do not contain s, so the number of subsets of A not containing s is |P(B)|. Any other subset of A must contain s, and removal of the s would produce a subset of B. Thus the number of subsets of A containing s is also |P(B)|. Because every subset of A either contains s or does not contain s (but not both), we see that the number of subsets of A is 2|P(B)|. We have shown that if A has one more element that B, then |P(A)| = 2|P(B)|. Now |P(โˆ…)| = 1, so if |A| = s, then |P(A)| = 2s. 18. We define a one-to-one map ฯ† of BA onto P(A). Let f โˆˆ BA, and let ฯ† ( f ) = {x โˆˆ A | f ( x ) = 1}. Suppose ฯ† (f ) = ฯ† (g). Then f (x) = 1 if and only if g(x) = 1. Because the only possible values for f (x) and g(x) are 0 and 1, we see that f (x) = 0 if and only if g(x) = 0. Consequently f (x) = g(x) for all x โˆˆ A so f = g and ฯ† is one to one. To show that ฯ† is onto P(A), let S โŠ† A, and let h : A โ†’ {0, 1} be defined by h(x) = 1 if x โˆˆ S and h(x) = 0 otherwise. Clearly ฯ† (h) = S, showing that ฯ† is indeed onto P(A). 19. Picking up from the hint, let Z = {x โˆˆ A | x โˆˆ ฯ† ( x )}. We claim that for any a โˆˆ A, ฯ† ( a ) = Z . Either a โˆˆ ฯ† ( a ) , in which case a โˆˆ Z , or a โˆˆ ฯ† ( a ) , in which case a โˆˆ Z . Thus Z and ฯ† (a) are certainly different subsets of A; one of them contains a and the other one does not. Based on what we just showed, we feel that the power set of A has cardinality greater than |A|. Proceeding naively, we can start with the infinite set ๏‚ข, form its power set, then form the power set of that, and continue this process indefinitely. If there were only a finite number of infinite cardinal numbers, this process would have to terminate after a fixed finite number of steps. Since it doesnโ€™t, it appears that there must be an infinite number of different infinite cardinal numbers. The set of everything is not logically acceptable, because the set of all subsets of the set of everything would be larger than the set of everything, which is a fallacy. 20. a. The set containing precisely the two elements of A and the three (different) elements of B is C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} which has 5 elements. i) Let A = {โˆ’2, โˆ’1, 0} and B = {1, 2, 3, ยท ยท ยท} = ๏‚ข + . Then |A| = 3 and |B| = โ„ต0, and A and B have no elements in common. The set C containing all elements in either A or B is C = {โˆ’2, โˆ’1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ยท ยท ยท}. The map ฯ† : C โ†’ B defined by ฯ† (x) = x + 3 is one to one and onto B, so |C| = |B| = โ„ต0. Thus we consider 3 + โ„ต0 = โ„ต0. ii) Let A = {1, 2, 3, ยท ยท ยท} and B = {1/2, 3/2, 5/2, ยท ยท ยท}. Then |A| = |B| = โ„ต0 and A and B have no elements in common. The set C containing all elements in either A of B is C = {1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, 5/2, 3, ยท ยท ยท}. The map ฯ† : C โ†’ A defined by ฯ† (x) = 2x is one to one and onto A, so |C| = |A| = โ„ต0. Thus we consider โ„ต0 + โ„ต0 = โ„ต0 b. We leave the plotting of the points in A ร— B to you. Figure 0.15 in the text, where there are โ„ต0 rows each having โ„ต0 entries, illustrates that we would consider that โ„ต0 ยท โ„ต0 = โ„ต0. Copyright ยฉ 2021 Pearson Education, Inc. 0. Sets and Relations 3 21. There are 102 = 100 numbers (.00 through .99) of the form .##, and 105 = 100, 000 numbers (.00000 through .99999) of the form .#####. Thus for .##### ยท ยท ยท, we expect 10โ„ต0 sequences representing all numbers x โˆˆ ๏‚ก such that 0 โ‰ค x โ‰ค 1, but a sequence trailing off in 0โ€™s may represent the same x โˆˆ ๏‚ก as a sequence trailing of in 9โ€™s. At any rate, we should have 10โ„ต0 โ‰ฅ |[0, 1]| = ๏‚ก ; see Exercise 15. On the other hand, we can represent numbers in ๏‚ก using any integer base n > 1, and these same 10โ„ต0 sequences using digits from 0 to 9 in base n = 12 would not represent all x โˆˆ [0, 1], so we have 10โ„ต0 โ‰ค ๏‚ก . Thus we consider the value of 10โ„ต0 to be ๏‚ก . We could make the same argument using any other integer base n > 1, and thus consider nโ„ต0 = ๏‚ก for n โˆˆ ๏‚ข + , n > 1. In particular, 12โ„ต0 = 12โ„ต0 = ๏‚ก . ๏‚ก 22. โ„ต0 , | ๏‚ก |, 2|๏‚ก| , 2( 2 ) , 2(2 (2 ๏‚ก ) ) 23. 1. There is only one partition {{a}} of a one-element set {a}. 24. There are two partitions of {a, b}, namely {{a, b}} and {{a}, {b}}. 25. There are five partitions of {a, b, c}, namely {{a, b, c}}, {{a}, {b, c}}, {{b}, {a, c}}, {{c}, {a, b}}, and {{a}, {b}, {c}}. 26. 15. The set {a, b, c, d} has 1 partition into one cell, 7 partitions into two cells (four with a 1,3 split and three with a 2,2 split), 6 partitions into three cells, and 1 partition into four cells for a total of 15 partitions. 27. 52. The set {a, b, c, d, e} has 1 partition into one cell, 15 into two cells, 25 into three cells, 10 into four cells, and 1 into five cells for a total of 52. (Do a combinatorics count for each possible case, such as a 1,2,2 split where there are 15 possible partitions.) 28. Reflexive: In order for x R x to be true, x must be in the same cell of the partition as the cell that contains x. This is certainly true. Transitive: Suppose that x R y and y R z. Then x is in the same cell as y so x = y , and y is in the same cell as z so that y = z . By the transitivity of the set equality relation on the collection of cells in the partition, we see that x = z so that x is in the same cell as z. Consequently, x R z. 29. Not an equivalence relation; 0 is not related to 0, so it is not reflexive. 30. Not an equivalence relation; 3 โ‰ฅ 2 but 2 โ‰ฅ 3, so it is not symmetric. 31. Not an equivalence relation since transitivity fails: 3R 15 and 15 R 5, but 3 R 5. Also not reflexive: 1 R 1. 32. 0 = (0, 0) and ( x, y ) is the circle centered at the origin with radius x2 + y2 . 33. (See the answer in the text.) 34.

We check the three criteria. Reflexive: h โ€“ h = n0 so h โˆผ h. Symmetric: If h โˆผ k so that h โ€“ k = ns for some s โˆˆ ๏‚ข, then k โ€“ h = n(โ€“s) so k โˆผ h. Transitive: If h โˆผ k and k โˆผ m, then for some s, t โˆˆ ๏‚ข, we have h โ€“ k = ns and k โ€“ m = nt. Then h โ€“ m = (h โˆ’ k) + (k โ€“ m) = ns + nt = n(s + t), so h โˆผ m. b. Let h, k โˆˆ ๏‚ข. In the sense of this exercise, h โˆผ k if and only if h โ€“ k = nq for some q โˆˆ ๏‚ข. In the sense of Example 0.19, h โ‰ก k (mod n) if and only if h and k have the same remainder when divided by n. Write h = nq1 + r1 and k = nq2 + r2 where 0 โ‰ค r1 < n and 0 โ‰ค r2 j, because for each product aikbkj where i > j appearing in the computation of cij, either k j so that bkj = 0. Thus the product of two upper-triangular matrices is again upper triangular. The equation det(AB) = det(A) ยท det(B), shows that the product of two matrices of determinant 1 again has determinant 1. Associative: We know that matrix multiplication is associative. Identity: The n ร— n identity matrix I n has determinant 1 and is upper triangular. โˆ’1 โˆ’1 Inverse: The product property 1 = det(In ) = det( A A) = det( A ) โ‹… det( A) shows that if det(A) = 1, then det(Aโˆ’1) = 1 also. Copyright ยฉ 2021 Pearson Education, Inc. 2. Groups 9 18. Matrix multiplication is associative, so it remains to show that G is closed under matrix multiplication, G has an identity and each element of G has an inverse. The โˆ— e a b table for G is e e a b a a b e b b e a from which all of these properties are easily spotted. 19. a. We must show that S is closed under โˆ—, that is, that a + b + ab =/ โˆ’1 for a, b โˆˆ S. Now a + b + ab = โˆ’1 if and only if 0 = ab + a + b + 1 = ( a + 1)(b + 1). This is the case if and only if either a = โˆ’1 or b = โˆ’1, which is not the case for a, b โˆˆ S. b. Associative: We have a โˆ— (b โˆ— c ) = a โˆ— (b + c + bc ) = a + (b + c + bc ) + a (b + c + bc ) = a + b + c + ab + ac + bc + abc and ( a โˆ— b ) โˆ— c = ( a + b + ab ) โˆ— c = ( a + b + ab ) + c + ( a + b + ab ) c = a + b + c + ab + ac + bc + abc. Identity: 0 acts as identity element for โˆ—, for 0 โˆ— a = a โˆ— 0 = a. โˆ’a Inverses: a+1 acts as inverse of a, for aโˆ— โˆ’a โˆ’a โˆ’a a(a +1) โˆ’ a โˆ’ a2 0 =a+ +a = = = 0. a +1 a + 1 a +1 a +1 a +1 c. Because the operation is commutative, 2 โˆ— x โˆ— 3 = 2 โˆ— 3 โˆ— x = 11โˆ— x. Now the inverse of 11 is โ€“11/12 by Part(b).

A binary operation on a set {x, y} of two elements that produces a group is completely determined by the choice of x or y to serve as identity element, so just 2 of the 16 possible tables give groups. For a set {x, y, z} of three elements, a group binary operation is again determined by the choice x, y, or z to serve as identity element, so there are just 3 of the 19,683 binary operations that give groups. (Recall that there is only one way to fill out a group table for {e, a} and for {e, a, b} if you require e to be the identity element.) 22. The orders G1G3G2, G3G1G2, and G3G2G1 are not acceptable. The identity element e occurs in the statement of G3, which must not come before e is defined in G2. 23. Ignoring spelling, punctuation and grammar, here are some of the mathematical errors. a. The statement โ€œx = identityโ€ is wrong. b. The identity element should be e, not (e). It would also be nice to give the properties satisfied by the identity element and by inverse elements. c. Associativity is missing. Logically, the identity element should be mentioned before inverses. The statement โ€œan inverse existsโ€ is not quantified correctly: for each element of the set, an inverse exists. Again, it would be nice to give the properties satisfied by the identity element and by inverse elements. d. Replace โ€œsuch that for all a, b โˆˆ G โ€ by โ€œif for all a โˆˆ G โ€. Delete โ€œunder additionโ€ in line 2. The element should be e, not {e}. Replace โ€œ= eโ€ by โ€œ= aโ€ in line 3. Copyright ยฉ 2021 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.

Multiply both sides of the equation a โˆ— b = a โˆ— c on the left by the inverse of a, and simplify, using the axioms for a group. 27. Show that x = aโ€ฒโˆ— b is a solution of a โˆ— x = b by substitution and the axioms for a group. Then show that it is the only solution by multiplying both sides of the equation a โˆ— x = b on the left by aโ€ฒ and simplifying, using the axioms for a group. 28. First check that b โ€ฒ โˆ— a โˆ— b =/ c. Use group properties to show (bโ€ฒab)(bโ€ฒab) = c. 29. Let S = { x โˆˆ G | x โ€ฒ =/ x}. Then S has an even number of elements, because its elements can be grouped in pairs x, xโ€ฒ. Because G has an even number of elements, the number of elements in G but not in S (the set G โ€“ S) must be even. The set G โ€“ S is nonempty because it contains e. Thus there is at least one element of G โ€“ S other than e, that is, at least one element other than e that is its own inverse. 30. a. We have ( a โˆ— b ) โˆ— c = ( | a | b ) โˆ— c | (| a | b ) | c = | ab | c. We also have a โˆ— (b โˆ— c ) = a โˆ— (| b | c ) = | a || b | c = | ab | c , so * is associative. b. We have 1 โˆ— a = | 1 | a = a for a โˆˆ๏’ * so 1 is a left identity element. For a โˆˆ ๏’*, 1/|a| is a right inverse. c. It is not a group because both 1/2 and โ€“1/2 are right inverse of 2. d. The one-sided definition of a group, mentioned just before the exercises, must be all left sided or all right sided. We must not mix them. 31. Let G, โˆ— be a group and let x โˆˆ G such that x โˆ— x = x. Then x โˆ— x = x โˆ— e , and by left cancellation, x = e, so e is the only idempotent element in a group. 32. We have e = ( a โˆ— b ) โˆ— ( a โˆ— b ) , and ( a โˆ— a ) โˆ— ( b โˆ— b ) = e โˆ— e = e also. Thus a โˆ— b โˆ— a โˆ— b = a โˆ— a โˆ— b โˆ— b. Using left and right cancellation, we have b โˆ— a = a โˆ— b . 33. Let P ( n ) be the statement ( a โˆ— b ) n = a n โˆ— b n . Since ( a โˆ— a )1 = a โˆ— b = a 1 โˆ— b1 , we see P(1) is true. Suppose P(k) is true. Then ( a โˆ— b ) k +1 = ( a โˆ— b ) k โˆ— ( a โˆ— b ) = ( a k โˆ— b k ) โˆ— ( a โˆ— b ) = [ a k โˆ— (b k โˆ— a )] โˆ— b = [ a k โˆ— ( a โˆ— b k )] โˆ— b = [( a k โˆ— a ) โˆ— b k ] โˆ— b = ( a k +1 โˆ— b k ) โˆ— b = a k +1 โˆ— (b k โˆ— b ) = a k +1 โˆ— b k +1 . This completes the induction argument. 34. Start with a โˆ— b = b โˆ— aโ€ฒ and conclude aโ€ฒ โˆ— a โˆ— b โˆ— a = aโ€ฒ โˆ— b โˆ— aโ€ฒ โˆ— a and simplify. 35. b 2 a 12 36. The elements e, a, a2 , a3 ,๏Œ, am arenโ€™t all different since G has only m elements. If one of a, a2 , a3 , ๏Œ, am is e, then we are done. If not, then we must have ai = aj where i < j. Repeated left cancellation of a yields e = ajโ€“i. Copyright ยฉ 2021 Pearson Education, Inc. 12 2. Groups 37. We have ( a โˆ— b ) โˆ— ( a โˆ— b ) = ( a โˆ— a ) โˆ— (b โˆ— b ) , so a โˆ— [b โˆ— ( a โˆ— b )] = a โˆ— [ a โˆ— (b โˆ— b )] and left cancellation yields b โˆ— ( a โˆ— b ) = a โˆ— (b โˆ— b ) . Then (b โˆ— a ) โˆ— b = ( a โˆ— b ) โˆ— b and right cancellation yields b โˆ— a = a โˆ— b . 38. Let a โˆ— b = b โˆ— a . Then ( a โˆ— b )โ€ฒ = (b โˆ— a )โ€ฒ = a โ€ฒ โˆ— b โ€ฒ by Corollary 2.19. Conversely, if bโ€ฒ โˆ— aโ€ฒ = aโ€ฒ โˆ— bโ€ฒ . then Then so ( a โˆ— b )โ€ฒ = a โ€ฒ โˆ— b โ€ฒ ( b โ€ฒ โˆ— a โ€ฒ ) โ€ฒ = ( a โ€ฒ โˆ— b โ€ฒ) ( a โ€ฒ) โ€ฒ โˆ— ( b โ€ฒ) โ€ฒ = ( b โ€ฒ) โ€ฒ โˆ— ( a โ€ฒ) โ€ฒ and a โˆ— b = b โˆ— a . 39. We have a โˆ— b โˆ— c = a โˆ— (b โˆ— c ) = e , which implies that b*c is the inverse of a. Therefore ( b โˆ— c ) โˆ— a = b โˆ— c โˆ— a = e also. 40. We need to show that a left identity element is a right identity element and that a left inverse is a right inverse. Note that e * e = e. Then ( x โ€ฒ โˆ— x ) โˆ— e = x โ€ฒ โˆ— x so ( x โ€ฒ)โ€ฒ โˆ— ( x โ€ฒ โˆ— x ) โˆ— e = ( x โ€ฒ)โ€ฒ โˆ— ( x โ€ฒ โˆ— x ). Using associativity, [( x โ€ฒ) โ€ฒ โˆ— x โ€ฒ] โˆ— x โˆ— e = [( x โ€ฒ) โ€ฒ โˆ— xโ€ฒ] โˆ— x. Thus ( e โˆ— x ) โˆ— e = e โˆ— x so x โˆ— e = x and e is a right identity element also. If aโ€ฒโˆ— a = e , then ( a โ€ฒ โˆ— a ) โˆ— a โ€ฒ = e โˆ— a โ€ฒ = a โ€ฒ . Multiplication of aโ€ฒ โˆ— a โˆ— aโ€ฒ = aโ€ฒ on the left by (aโ€ฒ)โ€ฒ and associativity yield a * aโ€ฒ = e, so aโ€ฒ is also a right inverse of a. 41. Using the hint, we show there is a left identity element and that each element has a left inverse. Let a โˆˆ G ; we are given that G is nonempty. Let e be a solution of y โˆ— a = a. We show e โˆ— b = b for any b โˆˆG. Let c be a solution of the equation a โˆ— x = b. Then e โˆ— b = e โˆ— ( a โˆ— c ) = ( e โˆ— a ) โˆ— c = a โˆ— c = b. Thus e is a left identity. Now for each a โˆˆG. let aโ€ฒ be a solution of y โˆ— a = e. Then aโ€ฒ is a left inverse of a. By Exercise 38, G is a group. 42. a and (aโ€ฒ)โ€ฒ both satisfy aโ€ฒ โˆ— x = e. So a = (aโ€ฒ)โ€ฒ by Theorem 2.17. 43. a) Let P, Qโˆˆ๏’2 with P =/ Q . Then the distance from P to Q is positive which implies the distance from ฯ† ( P ) and ฯ† ( Q ) is positive. Therefore ฯ† ( P ) =/ ฯ† ( Q ). b) Let Qโˆˆ๏’2 . We need to find a point T โˆˆ ๏’ 2 with ฯ† (T ) = Q . Let ฯ† (0, 0) = C . If Q = C we are done. Otherwise, let the distance between Q and C be r. Then ฯ† maps S1 the circle centered at (0, 0) with radius r to S2 the circle centered at C with radius r. Let P = ฯ† ( r , 0) , W = ฯ† (0, r ) , d1 the distance from P to Q and d2 the distance from W to Q. Then Q is the unique point in S2 with distance d1 from P and distance d2 from W. Since S1 is congruent with S2 and under the congruence, (r, 0) and (0, r) correspond with P and W respectively, there is a unique point T โˆˆ S 1 whose distance from (r, 0) is d1 and whose distance from (0, r) is d2. Then ฯ† (T ) is on the circle S2 and the distance from P and W are d1 and d2 respectively. Since the Q is the unique point with this property, Q = ฯ† (T ). 44. Since f : G 1 โ†’ G 2 is one-to-one and onto, f โˆ’ 1 : G 2 โ†’ G 1 exists and f โˆ’ 1 is also one-to-one and onto. We only need to verify Condition 2 in the definition isomorphism. Let y1, y 2 โˆˆ G 2 be arbitrary, since f is onto, there exists x1, x 2 โˆˆ G 1 such that f ( x1 ) = y 1 and f ( x 2 ) = y 2 . Since f ( x1 โˆ—1 x 2 ) = f ( x1 ) โˆ— 2 f ( x 2 ) = y1 โˆ— 2 y 2 , Thus f โˆ’ 1 ( f ( x1 โˆ— 1 x 2 )) = f โˆ’ 1 ( y 1 โˆ— 2 y 2 )). f โˆ’ 1 ( y 1 ) โˆ— 1 f โˆ’ 1 ( y 2 ) = x1 โˆ— 1 x 2 = f โˆ’ 1 ( f ( x1 โˆ— x 2 ) = f โˆ’ 1 ( y 1 โˆ— 2 y ) which is Condition 2.

Therefore both A and B have more than half the elements of G which implies that A and B have a common element, say b. Thus there is an a โˆˆ A such that a โ€ฒ โˆ— g = b โˆˆ B which implies that g = a โˆ— b . Copyright ยฉ 2021 Pearson Education, Inc. 14 3. Abelian Examples 3.
