Homework Statement



If A,B and C are normal subgroups of G where B[itex]\subseteq[/itex]A show that
A[itex]\bigcap[/itex]BC=B(A[itex]\bigcap[/itex]C)

Homework Equations



The Attempt at a Solution


Let x[itex]\in[/itex]A[itex]\bigcap[/itex]BC.then x[itex]\in[/itex]A and x[itex]\in[/itex]BC
Now as B[itex]\subseteq[/itex]A thus BA=A.thus left side is BA[itex]\bigcap[/itex]BC

Dont know how to proceed.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
So you know that [itex]x\in A[/itex] and [itex]x\in BC[/itex]. The last means that there are [itex]b\in B[/itex] and [itex]c\in C[/itex] such that [itex]x=bc[/itex].

You must prove that [itex]x\in B(A\cap C)[/itex]. So you must write x as a product of something in B and something in [itex]A\cap C[/itex].
 
x=bc [itex]\Rightarrow[/itex] a-1bac[itex]\in[/itex]BC
Also a-1bca[itex]\in[/itex]BC Now a-1b=a1 for some a1[itex]\in[/itex]A[itex]\Rightarrow[/itex]a1ca[itex]\in[/itex]BC
a1(aa-1)ca[itex]\in[/itex]BC
(a1a)c1[itex]\in[/itex]BC for some c1[itex]\in[/itex]C
a2c1[itex]\in[/itex]BC
Cant still figure out
