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.

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.

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 โ 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(โ
)| = 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 โ BA, and let
ฯ ( f ) = {x โ 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 โ A so f = g and ฯ is
one to one. To show that ฯ is onto P(A), let S โ A, and let h : A โ {0, 1} be
defined by h(x) = 1 if x โ 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 โ A | x โ ฯ ( x )}. We claim that for any
a โ A, ฯ ( a ) = Z . Either a โ ฯ ( a ) , in which case a โ Z , or a โ ฯ ( a ) , in which
case a โ 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 doesnโt, 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 = {โ2, โ1, 0} and B = {1, 2, 3, ยท ยท ยท} = ๏ข + . Then |A| = 3 and |B| = โต0, and A and
B have no elements in common. The set C containing all elements in either A or B is
C = {โ2, โ1, 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| = โต0. Thus we consider 3 + โต0 = โต0.
ii) Let A = {1, 2, 3, ยท ยท ยท} and B = {1/2, 3/2, 5/2, ยท ยท ยท}. Then |A| = |B| = โต0 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| = โต0. Thus we consider โต0 + โต0 = โต0
b. We leave the plotting of the points in A ร B to you. Figure 0.15 in the text, where
there are โต0 rows each having โต0 entries, illustrates that we would consider that
โต0 ยท โต0 = โต0.

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 10โต0 sequences representing all numbers x โ ๏ก such that 0 โค x โค 1, but a
sequence trailing off in 0โs may represent the same x โ ๏ก as a sequence trailing of
in 9โs. At any rate, we should have 10โต0 โฅ |[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 10โต0 sequences using digits from 0 to 9 in base n = 12 would not represent all
x โ [0, 1], so we have 10โต0 โค ๏ก . Thus we consider the value of 10โต0 to be ๏ก . We
could make the same argument using any other integer base n > 1, and thus
consider nโต0 = ๏ก for n โ ๏ข + , n > 1. In particular, 12โต0 = 12โต0 = ๏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 โฅ 2 but 2 โฅ 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.

37. 1 = { x โ ๏ข x รท n has remainder 1} depends on the value of n.
38. a. Let h, k, and m be positive integers. We check the three criteria.
Reflexive: h โ h = n0 so h โผ h.
Symmetric: If h โผ k so that h โ k = ns for some s โ ๏ข, then k โ h = n(โs) so k โผ h.
Transitive: If h โผ k and k โผ m, then for some s, t โ ๏ข, we have h โ k = ns and k โ m
= nt. Then h โ m = (h โ k) + (k โ m) = ns + nt = n(s + t), so h โผ m.
b. Let h, k โ ๏ข. In the sense of this exercise, h โผ k if and only if h โ k = nq for some
q โ ๏ข. In the sense of Example 0.19, h โก 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 โค r1 < n and 0 โค
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.

Inverse: The product property 1 = det(In ) = det( A A) = det( A ) โ
det( A) shows
that if det(A) = 1, then det(Aโ1) = 1 also.

19. a. We must show that S is closed under โ, that is, that a + b + ab =/ โ1 for a,

the case if and only if either a = โ1 or b = โ1, which is not the case for a, b โ S.
b.
Associative: We have
a โ (b โ c ) = a โ (b + c + bc ) = a + (b + c + bc ) + a (b + c + bc ) = a + b + c + ab + ac + bc + abc
and
( a โ b ) โ c = ( a + b + ab ) โ c = ( a + b + ab ) + c + ( a + b + ab ) c = a + b + c + ab + ac + bc + abc.

If we write the table for this group using the letters E, A, B, C in that order, we

21. 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 โx = 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 โan 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 โsuch that for all a, b โ G โ by โif for all a โ G โ. Delete โunder
additionโ in line 2. The element should be e, not {e}. Replace โ= eโ by โ= aโ in
line 3.

26. Multiply both sides of the equation a โ b = a โ c on the left by the inverse of a, and
simplify, using the axioms for a group.
27. Show that x = aโฒโ b is a solution of a โ 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 โ x = b on the left by aโฒ and simplifying, using the axioms for a group.
28. First check that b โฒ โ a โ b =/ c. Use group properties to show (bโฒab)(bโฒab) = c.
29. Let S = { x โ G | x โฒ =/ x}. Then S has an even number of elements, because its
elements can be grouped in pairs x, xโฒ. 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 โ b ) โ c = ( | a | b ) โ c | (| a | b ) | c = | ab | c. We also have a โ (b โ c ) =
a โ (| b | c ) = | a || b | c = | ab | c , so * is associative.
b. We have 1 โ a = | 1 | a = a for a โ๏ * so 1 is a left identity element. For a โ ๏*,
1/|a| is a right inverse.
c.
It is not a group because both 1/2 and โ1/2 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, โ be a group and let x โ G such that x โ x = x. Then x โ x = x โ e , and by
left cancellation, x = e, so e is the only idempotent element in a group.
32. We have e = ( a โ b ) โ ( a โ b ) , and ( a โ a ) โ ( b โ b ) = e โ e = e also. Thus
a โ b โ a โ b = a โ a โ b โ b. Using left and right cancellation, we have b โ a = a โ b .
33. Let P ( n ) be the statement ( a โ b ) n = a n โ b n . Since ( a โ a )1 = a โ b = a 1 โ b1 , we see
P(1) is true. Suppose P(k) is true. Then
( a โ b ) k +1 = ( a โ b ) k โ ( a โ b ) = ( a k โ b k ) โ ( a โ b ) = [ a k โ (b k โ a )] โ b
= [ a k โ ( a โ b k )] โ b = [( a k โ a ) โ b k ] โ b = ( a k +1 โ b k ) โ b = a k +1 โ (b k โ b ) = a k +1 โ b k +1 .
This completes the induction argument.
34. Start with a โ b = b โ aโฒ and conclude aโฒ โ a โ b โ a = aโฒ โ b โ aโฒ โ a and simplify.

36. The elements e, a, a2 , a3 ,๏, am arenโt all different since G has only m elements. If
one of a, a2 , a3 , ๏, 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 = ajโi.

37. We have ( a โ b ) โ ( a โ b ) = ( a โ a ) โ (b โ b ) , so a โ [b โ ( a โ b )] = a โ [ a โ (b โ b )] and left
cancellation yields b โ ( a โ b ) = a โ (b โ b ) . Then (b โ a ) โ b = ( a โ b ) โ b and right
cancellation yields b โ a = a โ b .
38. Let a โ b = b โ a . Then ( a โ b )โฒ = (b โ a )โฒ = a โฒ โ b โฒ by Corollary 2.19. Conversely, if
bโฒ โ aโฒ = aโฒ โ bโฒ .
then
Then
so
( a โ b )โฒ = a โฒ โ b โฒ
( b โฒ โ a โฒ ) โฒ = ( a โฒ โ b โฒ)
( a โฒ) โฒ โ ( b โฒ) โฒ = ( b โฒ) โฒ โ ( a โฒ) โฒ and a โ b = b โ a .
39. We have a โ b โ c = a โ (b โ c ) = e , which implies that b*c is the inverse of a.
Therefore ( b โ c ) โ a = b โ c โ 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 โฒ โ x ) โ e = x โฒ โ x so
( x โฒ)โฒ โ ( x โฒ โ x ) โ e = ( x โฒ)โฒ โ ( x โฒ โ x ). Using associativity, [( x โฒ) โฒ โ x โฒ] โ x โ e = [( x โฒ) โฒ
โ xโฒ] โ x. Thus ( e โ x ) โ e = e โ x so x โ e = x and e is a right identity element also. If
aโฒโ a = e , then ( a โฒ โ a ) โ a โฒ = e โ a โฒ = a โฒ . Multiplication of aโฒ โ a โ aโฒ = aโฒ on the left
by (aโฒ)โฒ and associativity yield a * aโฒ = e, so aโฒ 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 โ G ; we are given that G is nonempty. Let e be a solution of
y โ a = a. We show e โ b = b for any b โG. Let c be a solution of the equation
a โ x = b. Then e โ b = e โ ( a โ c ) = ( e โ a ) โ c = a โ c = b. Thus e is a left identity.
Now for each a โG. let aโฒ be a solution of y โ a = e. Then aโฒ is a left inverse of a.
By Exercise 38, G is a group.
42. a and (aโฒ)โฒ both satisfy aโฒ โ x = e. So a = (aโฒ)โฒ by Theorem 2.17.
43. a)
Let P, Qโ๏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 Qโ๏2 . We need to find a point T โ ๏ 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 โ 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 โ 1 : G 2 โ G 1 exists and f โ 1 is also
one-to-one and onto. We only need to verify Condition 2 in the definition isomorphism.
Let y1, y 2 โ G 2 be arbitrary, since f is onto, there exists x1, x 2 โ G 1 such that
f ( x1 ) = y 1 and f ( x 2 ) = y 2 . Since f ( x1 โ1 x 2 ) = f ( x1 ) โ 2 f ( x 2 ) = y1 โ 2 y 2 ,
Thus
f โ 1 ( f ( x1 โ 1 x 2 )) = f โ 1 ( y 1 โ 2 y 2 )).
f โ 1 ( y 1 ) โ 1 f โ 1 ( y 2 ) = x1 โ 1 x 2
= f โ 1 ( f ( x1 โ x 2 ) = f โ 1 ( y 1 โ 2 y ) which is Condition 2.

45. Let g โ G and define B = { a โฒ โ g | a โ A} . Note the the function f : A โ B given
by f(x) = xโฒg is one-to-one. 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 โ A such that a โฒ โ g = b โ B which implies that g = a โ b .
