+
+\problem{1b.}
+
+Write the following permutation in cycle notation:
+$$\pmatrix{1&2&3&4&5\cr 2&4&1&5&3}.$$
+
+\answer
+This is $(1 2 4 5 3).$
+\endanswer
+
+\problem{2c.}
+
+Compute $(1 4 3)(2 3)(2 4).$
+
+\answer
+$$\pmatrix{1&2&3&4\cr 2&3&1&4}$$
+\endanswer
+
+\problem{2p.}
+
+Compute $[(1 2 3 5)(4 6 7)]^{-1}.$
+
+\answer
+$$\pmatrix{1&2&3&4&5&6&7\cr 5&1&2&7&3&4&6}$$
+\endanswer
+
+\problem{3a.}
+Express the following permutation as a product of transpositions and
+identify it as even or odd: $(1 4 3 5 6).$
+
+\answer
+$$(1 4 3 5 6) = (1 4)(4 3)(3 5)(5 6),$$
+and since there are 4 transpositions, this is an even permutation.
+\endanswer
+
+\problem{3c.}
+
+Express the following permutation as a product of transpositions and
+identify it as even or odd: $(1 4 2 6)(1 4 2).$
+
+\answer
+$$(1 4 2 6)(1 4 2) = (1 4)(4 2)(2 6)(1 4)(4 2),$$
+and since there are 5 transpositions, this is an odd permutation.
+
+\problem{24.}
+
+Show that a 3-cycle is an even permutation.
+
+\answer
+Let us have a 3-cycle $(a_1 a_2 a_3).$
+This can be written as $(a_1 a_2)(a_2 a_3)$ because $a_2$ ends in the
+position of $a_3,$ $a_1$ ends in the position of $a_2,$ and $a_3$ ends
+in the position of $a_1.$
+This is two transpositions, so this is an even permutation.

+
+\problem{5d.}
+
+List the left and right cosets of the subgroups of $A_4$ in $S_4.$
+
+\answer
+The left and right cosets are $\{A_4, (1\,2)A_4\}.$
+\endanswer
+
+\problem{5b.}
+
+List the left and right cosets of the subgroups of $\langle 3\rangle$ in
+$U(8).$
+
+\answer
+$\langle 3\rangle = \{{\rm id}, 3\},$ and since this group is abelian,
+it has the same left and right cosets.
+$5\langle 3\rangle = \{5, 7\},$ and this completes the partition of the
+group.
+\endanswer
+
+\section{Problem not from the textbook}
+
+\problem{1.}
+
+Let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$ and suppose that $g_1,g_2\in G.$
+Prove that $g_1H = g_2H$ if and only if $g_2\in g_1H.$
+
+\answer
+Let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$ and $g_1,g_2\in G.$
+We will show that $g_1H = g_2H$ if and only if $g_2\in g_1H.$
+
+$(\Rightarrow)$
+
+Let $g_1H = g_2H.$
+We will show that $g_2\in g_1H.$
+
+$e\in H,$ so $g_2e = g_2\in g_2H,$ and by equality, $g_2\in g_1H.$
+
+$(\Leftarrow)$
+
+Let $g_2 \in g_1H.$
+This means there is $h\in H$ such that $g_2 = g_1h.$
+We then know that $g_2H = g_1hH = g_1H$ because $hH = H$ by group
+closure.
