Answer:

Correct option is:

multiply the previous term by 2; –80, –160

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a pattern:

–5, –10, –20, –40, . . .

- 10= -5×2

-20= -10×2

-40= -20×2

Hence, next term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 2

Next term= -40×2= -80

Next term= -80×2= -160

Hence,

Pattern is: multiply the previous term by 2

Next two numbers in the pattern are: –80, –160

Prove that H c G is a normal subgroup if and only if every left coset is a right coset, i.e., aH = Ha for all a e G

Kaylis [27]

$\Rightarrow$

Suppose first that $H\subset G$ is a normal subgroup. Then by definition we must have for all $a\in H$ , $xax^{-1} \in H$ for every $x\in G$ . Let $a\in G$ and choose $(ab)\in aH$ ( $b\in H$ ). By hypothesis we have $aba^{-1} =abbb^{-1}a^{-1}=(ab)b(ab)^{-1} \in H$ , i.e. $aba^{-1}=c$ for some $c\in H$ , thus $ab=ca \in Ha$ . So we have $aH\subset Ha$ . You can prove $Ha\subset aH$ in the same way.

$\Leftarrow$

Suppose $aH=Ha$ for all $a\in G$ . Let $h\in H$ , we have to prove $aha^{-1} \in H$ for every $a\in G$ . So, let $a\in G$ . We have that $ha^{-1} =a^{-1}h'$ for some $h'\in H$ (by the hypothesis). hence we have $aha^{-1}=h' \in H$ . Because $a$ was chosen arbitrarily we have the desired .
