Question
The dihedral group G = D8 has elements {ρ0, ρ90, ρ180, ρ270, µH , µV , µD, µU }.Its multiplication table is partially completed below.ρ0 ρ90 ρ180 ρ270 µH µV µD µUρ0 ρ0 ρ90 ρ180 ρ270 µH µV µD µUρ90 ρ90 ρ180 ρ270 ρ0 µU µV µHρ180 ρ180 ρ270 ρ0 ρ90 µV µH µU µDρ270 ρ270 ρ0 ρ90 ρ180 µU µD µH µVµH µH µU µV µD ρ0 ρ180µV µD µU ρ180 ρ0 ρ90µD µD µH µU µV ρ90 ρ270 ρ0 ρ180µU µU µV µD µH ρ270 ρ90 ρ180 ρ0(a) Calculate the missing entries.

Solution
(a) The missing entries in the multiplication table are:
- For µH: ρ90, ρ270, µD, µU
- For µV: ρ270, ρ90, µH, µU
- For µD: ρ180, ρ0, µV, µU
- For µU: ρ0, ρ180, µH, µV
(b) Examples of subgroups in G:
- Cyclic subgroup: {ρ0, ρ90, ρ180, ρ270}. This group is generated by a single element, ρ90, and is therefore cyclic.
- Non-cyclic subgroup: {ρ0, µH, µV}. This group cannot be generated by a single element and is therefore not cyclic.
(c) To show that K = {ρ0, ρ180} is a subgroup of G, we need to show that it satisfies the three properties of a subgroup:
- Closure: The product of any two elements in K is also in K. This is true because ρ0 * ρ0 = ρ0, ρ0 * ρ180 = ρ180, ρ180 * ρ0 = ρ180, and ρ180 * ρ180 = ρ0.
- Identity: The identity element ρ0 is in K.
- Inverses: The inverse of ρ0 is ρ0 and the inverse of ρ180 is ρ180. Both are in K.
Therefore, K is a subgroup of G.
(d) The right cosets of K in G are:
- Kρ0 = {ρ0, ρ180}
- Kρ90 = {ρ90, ρ270}
- Kρ180 = {ρ180, ρ0}
- Kρ270 = {ρ270, ρ90}
- KµH = {µH, µV}
- KµV = {µV, µH}
- KµD = {µD, µU}
- KµU = {µU, µD}
