I have 3 subgroup criterion.
For the first i have to show H is non empty, well here the matrix
2 1
5 3
is an element of H, so it is none empty.
The second I have to show that H is closed under the binary operation of GL2R. How do I do this? By definition ig g, h are elements of H, then gh is an element of H. I have no idea how to show this is true for it?
I can find another matrix that would be in the group of H, and I can show the product of the matrices is 1, but do I have to prove it? And how?
Thirdly I have to show the inverse of each element of H belongs to H, which is easy.
