(2) Letbe nonsingular; find all points of order 2 in the group law, and understand what group they form (there are two cases to consider). Now explain geometrically how you would set about finding all points of order 4 on
.
I linked the text that we use in class above. If anyone can point me in the right direction or walk me through this, I would appreciate it. Thank you!
