Salutations all, just stuck with the starting step, I want to see if I can take it from there.
Let G be a group and let N be a subgroup of G. Prove that the set [itex]g^{-1}Ng[/itex] is a subgroup of G.
Thanks in advance!
Homework Statement
Let G be a group and let N be a subgroup of G. Prove that the set [itex]g^{-1}Ng[/itex] is a subgroup of G.
The Attempt at a Solution
Well, I'm going to have to show that [itex]g^{-1}Ng[/itex] is closed and contains an inverse. Do I start by saying that [itex]g \in G[/itex] and [itex]n \in N[/itex], therefore [itex]n \in G[/itex] as well as [itex]g^{-1} \in G[/itex]. The fact that G is a group means that combining these terms under the operation will still fall in G because it is closed. Also, for inverses, the element [itex]n^{-1}\in G[/itex] so I can take [itex]g^{-1}n^{-1}g[/itex] as the inverse?Thanks in advance!
