    Linear Equation

    (1) Given a line containing the points (1, 4), (2, 7), and (3, 10) determine the slope-intercept form of the equation and provide one additional point on this line, and graph the function.

    Index of subgroup and coset of subgroup

    Explain what the index of a subgroup and a coset of a group are. Also, prove that if N is a subgroup of a group G such that [G: N] = 2, and if "a" and "b" are elements of G, then the product "ab" is an element of N if and only if either (1) both "a" and "b" are elements of N or (2) neither "a" nor "b" is an element of N.

    Mappings, Homomorphisms and Subgroups

    Let @:G-->H be a homomorphism of G onto H, and let N be a normal subgroup of G. Show that @(N) is a normal subgroup of H. How do I prove that a mapping is a normal subgroup of a group? What I am missing here is some understanding of the terminology and some clear understanding of mappings, homomorphisms, subgroups and no

    Reduced Row Echelon Form of Homogeneous Systems of Equations

    5. In general, a matrix's row echelon form can vary a bit. A matrix's reduced row echelon form is always unique. In other words, there is only one specific reduced row echelon form matrix associated with each matrix.
