let a b=3

() closure property

Let x.y E
Q

Now X*y= X 0>0

(.x0,y >0>xy> 05:

.X*y E Q'.Vx.y E Q

i) Associative property

Let x y,z E Q

x y 2)=x.-Xyz).ayz
9 9
_K+y)z
3
(X*y)Z

. Associative property hold vx.y.z E

(ii) Identity:

Let a be the identity ing' s.t

a*x=xVx E Q

X ax = 3x

( a - 3 ) x = 0 a - 3 = O( X> 0)

a=3

.a = 3 is the identity in g'vxe q under the given

composition.

Civ)Inverse
LetxEQ, Let y be element in q' s.t

xy=3y 0EQ
For eachx¬0; is the inverse ofx

Hence under the given composition a*b= in o', is

a Group.

{[ ] is a cyclic subgroup of

Solution: -
Since, 0 E Z implies EH implies H # d.

Let, A, BEH implies A =

Now, AB =

Therefore, AB-l E H.

Hence, by One-Step Subgroup Test, H is a subgroup of GL(2, R).

Now, we have to show that H is cyclic.
Since, E H

Therefore, H is cyclic group.

Hençe, H is a cyclie subgroup of GL(2,R).
