Consider the group Z[4] × Z[6] under * such that (a, b) * (c, d) = (a +[4] c, b +[6] d). (here +[4] means + is in Z[4] and +[6] is in Z[6]) We would like to find a group of permutations that is isomorphic to Z[4]Z[6]. Is this group cyclic? If so, prove it. If not, explain why. Do I need to list all the members and ch

In order to solve the congruence 2x + 6 ≡ 4 (mod 8), your friend Phil Lovett wrote down the following steps: 2x+6 ≡ 4 (mod 8) x+3 ≡ 2 (mod8) x ≡ −1 (mod 8) From here, Phil concludes that the solution set to 2x + 6 ≡ 4 (mod 8) is {x; x ≡ −1 (mod 8)}. (a) Is Phil's
