... 4) a) (6 points) For n > 2, demonstrate that the multiplicative group of units in the ring Z2n has two distinct subgroups of order 2. Any subgroup of order 2 will be cyclic since 2 is prime, so we need only find two distinct elements of order 2 in Z∗2n . Note first that the elements in Z∗2n are pre ...

Complex Numbers
... We can look at the field from last example as another approach to complex numbers. We identify complex numbers with points of the Cartesian plane (or vectors anchored at the origin) and we call this “geometrical interpretation of complex numbers”. A point z of the plane can be identified by its Cart ...

... where p is prime. If deg f pxq “ n, prove that Zp rxs{xf pxqy is a field with pn elements. Solution: By Corollary 1 to Theorem 17.5, since Zp is a field and f pxq is irreducible over Zp , then Zp rxs{xf pxqy is a field. It remains to argue that this field has pn many elements. An element of this fie ...

... With the last two steps, one can define the inverse of a non-zero element x ∈ O by x x−1 := N (x) so that xx−1 = x−1 x = 1. Since x is arbitrary, O has no zero divisors. Upon checking that x−1 (xy) = y = (yx)x−1 , the non-associative algebra O is turned into a division algebra. Since N (x) ≥ 0 for a ...
