Homework Statement


Consider this group of six matrices:

Let G = {I, A, B, C, D, K}, Matrix Multiplication>

[tex]I =\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0\\0 & 1\end{bmatrix}[/tex] [tex]A =\begin{bmatrix}0 & 1\\1 & 0\end{bmatrix}[/tex] [tex]B =\begin{bmatrix}0 & 1\\-1 & -1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

[tex]C =\begin{bmatrix}-1 & -1\\0 & 1\end{bmatrix}[/tex] [tex]D =\begin{bmatrix}-1 & -1\\1 & 0\end{bmatrix}[/tex] [tex]K =\begin{bmatrix}1 & 0\\-1 & -1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Operation Table for this group:

_|I A B C D K
I |I A B C D K
A|A I C B K D
B|B K D A I C
C|C D K I A B
D|D C I K B A
K|K B A D C I

Define [tex]f:G\rightarrow[/tex] [tex]\left\langle\(R^{*}, \bullet\right\rangle[/tex] by f(x) = det(x) for any Matrix x [tex]\in[/tex] G.

Questions:

List all the elements in the image of G?

Complete coset multiplication tables for G/N (N being the Ker(f)) and Im(G) (a subgroup of <R*, [tex]\bullet[/tex]>

Homework Equations


N/A

The Attempt at a Solution



I know the image of G is the range. I'm not exactly sure what to consider the range.

For the multiplication tables I know I'm to set it up like this but I'm not sure how to complete them. I appreciate any help. I do know that the Ker(f) is {I, B, D}.

G/N:

Image(G):

For the first part, go through all six matrices and calculate f(x) for each of them. For example, f(A) = -1.
 
So, the f(x)'s i receive are 1 and -1. Oh so that's what my image should be. I get that now. Thanks.
 
Any help on the tables from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

This is what I'm thinking for the G/N table:

__|N Na
N| N Na
Na| Na N

I found only 2 cosets and one is the Kernel and the other one I called Na due to a being one of the elements in it.
