Abstract Algebra Exam Instructions

This document is the abstract for an algebra exam that will cover topics in abstract algebra for the 2019-2020 school year. It provides general instructions for taking the exam, which will have three sections. The first section contains true/false questions about properties of groups and subgroups. The second section asks students to provide examples or explanations for subgroups/groups with specific properties. The third section contains problems involving finding subgroups of Z22, determining the number of subgroups of a cyclic group of order 48, and determining whether certain unitary groups are cyclic or not. Students are asked to show their work and are given one hour to complete the exam.

2. Every subset of every group is a subgroup under the induced operation.
3. All generators of Z20 are prime numbers.
4. The order of the element of a cyclic group is equal to the number elements in the
group

property described, or explain why no example exists. [3 points each]
