Paper 3, Section I, D
Say that a group is dihedral if it has two generators and , such that has order (greater than or equal to 2 and possibly infinite), has order 2 , and . In particular the groups and are regarded as dihedral groups. Prove that:
(i) any dihedral group can be generated by two elements of order 2 ;
(ii) any group generated by two elements of order 2 is dihedral; and
(iii) any non-trivial quotient group of a dihedral group is dihedral.
