hypothesis. The group <strong>of</strong> rotations <strong>of</strong> the tetrahedron therefore does not<br />

conta<strong>in</strong> any subgroup <strong>of</strong> order 6.<br />

89. Answer. a) The left <strong>and</strong> right partitions co<strong>in</strong>cide:<br />

b) left partition: right partition:<br />

90. Answer. a) The two partitions co<strong>in</strong>cide:<br />

b) left partition: right partition:<br />

91. Answer. The two partitions co<strong>in</strong>cide <strong>and</strong> conta<strong>in</strong> three cosets: 1)<br />

all numbers <strong>of</strong> type all numbers <strong>of</strong> type<br />

92. Answer. a) Two groups: <strong>and</strong><br />

b) two groups: <strong>and</strong> the group <strong>of</strong> symmetries <strong>of</strong> the equilateral<br />

triangle;<br />

c) five groups: the group <strong>of</strong> symmetries <strong>of</strong><br />

the square, the group <strong>of</strong> quaternions with elements <strong>and</strong><br />

the follow<strong>in</strong>g table <strong>of</strong> multiplication (Table 11).<br />

Solution. a) Let be the elements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>itial group. The<br />

elements can thus be <strong>of</strong> order 2 or 4 (see 83). Let us consider some<br />

cases.<br />

1) Amongst there is an element <strong>of</strong> order 4. Hence the given<br />

group is the cyclic group
