Step 1 1 of 7

We use Cayley's table on page 33 to compute second and third powers:

R02 = R0 , R03 = R0
2 3
R90 = R180 , R90 = R270
2 3
R180 = R0 , R180 = R180
2 3
R270 = R180 , R270 = R90
H 2 = R0 , H3 = H
V 2 = R0 , V3 =V
D 2 = R0 , D3 = D
D′2 = R0 , D′3 = D′

Step 2 2 of 7

Part a)

We see the only element that satisfies the equation X 3 = V is V itself.

Step 3 3 of 7

Part b)

Only element R270 satisfies the equation X 3 = R90

Step 4 4 of 7

Part c)

Only element R0 satisfies the equation X 3 = R0 .

Step 5 5 of 7

Part d)

Elements R0 , R180 , H, V , D, D ′ satisfy the equation X 2 = R0 .

Step 6 6 of 7

Part e)

No elements satisfy the equation X 2 = H.

Result 7 of 7

Done using Cayley table for D4 .
