Homework Statement


If H is a subgroup of G, show that [tex]g^{-1}Hg={g^{-1}hg \; h\in H[/tex] is a subgroup for each g[tex]\in[/tex] G


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I know I just have to check for closure and inverses, but the elements in this group [tex]g^{-1}hg[/tex] with different h or with different g?

Same g for all of them but different h's in H.
