Question 5 Let G be a group. Let f : G→ G be given by f(x) = x¹. (a) If G is abelian, show that f is an isomorphism. (Recall that being abelian means the group operation is commutative.) (b) If f is an isomorphism, show that G is abelian. (Hint: consider f(a¯¹)f(b¯¹).) (c) What is f for the case G = (Z,+)?
