Is the Klein 4-Group a cyclic group? • Yes • No
What is the first line in this proof? • Assume G is an abelian group. • Assume G is a cyclic group. • Assume a * b = b * a.
What is the next line in this proof? • Then G is abelian. • Then G contains inverses. • Then a * b = b * a for all a, b in G. • Then G = <x> for some x in G.
What is the next line in this proof? • Choose any two elements of G. • Then G has finite order. • Then a * b = b * a for all a, b in G. • Choose any element x and its inverse.
What is the last line in this proof? • Thus G is abelian. • Thus G contains inverses. • Therefore G is cyclic. • Then G has primary order.
What is the second to last line in this proof? • Then G is cyclic. • Then G has finite order. • Then a * b = b * a for all a, b in G. • Choose any element x and its inverse.
