Let G = GL(2,R) and let K be a subgroup of R*. Prove that H = {A ∈ G| det A ∈ K} is a normal subgroup of G.
A subgroupis said to be normal iff
we have
So takeit is a group and therefore invertible so
but consider for any
we would have:
so we see that for any
and for all
we get
.
This showsthus it is normal.
