Solution Preview
(a) All the elements in D14 that are fixed by r is H=<r>={1,r,r^2,...,r^6}.
Actually, from the result of (b), we know that H is a subgroup of D14.
Each element in <r> commutes with r and thus is fixed by r. s does not
fix r and <r> is the greatest real subgroup of D14. Thus H=<r>.
(b) The statement is true.
Proof: Suppose H is the ...
