Let N be a normal subgroup of a group G and let f:G→H be a homomorphism of groups such that the restriction of f to N is an isomorphism N≅H. Prove that G≅N×K, where K is the kernel of f.

I'm having trouble defining a function to prove this. Could anyone give me a start on this?

Start by proving the following:
1) ##N## and ##K## are normal
2) ##NK = G##
3) ##N\cap K = \{e\}##
