Hope it help u
Statement :
Every homomorphic image of a group G is isomomorphic to some quotient group of G .
Proof :
Let f be a group homomorphism from a group G to G'. Then G' is a homomorphic image of the group G .
Let K be the kernel of f , then we shall prove that
G/K ≅ G' .
Now ,
We define a mapping ∅ from G/K to G' such that
∅(Ka) = f(a) ∀ a ∈ G .
First we show that the mapping ∅ is well defined .
Let Ka = Kb , a , b ∈ G
→ ab⁻¹ ∈ K
→ f(ab⁻¹) = e' , where e' is the identity element in G'
→ f(a)f(b⁻¹) = e'
→ f(a)[f(b)]⁻¹ = e'
→ f(a)[f(b)]⁻¹f(b) = e'f(b)
(post multiplying with f(b) both sides)
→ f(a) = f(b)
→ ∅ is well defined .
Now , we show that the mapping ∅ is one-one .
Let Ka , Kb ∈ G/K such that ∅(Ka) = ∅(Kb)
→ f(a) = f(b)
→ f(a)[f(b)]⁻¹ = f(b)[f(b)]⁻¹
(post multiplying with [f(b)]⁻¹ both sides)
→ f(a)f(b⁻¹) = e'
→ f(ab⁻¹) = e'
→ ab⁻¹ ∈ K
→ Ka = Kb
→ ∅ is one-one .
Now , we show ∅ is onto .
Let y ∈ G' be any arbitrary element , then y = f(a) for some a ∈ G . Hence , Ka ∈ G/K .
So , we have ∅(Ka) = f(a) = y
→ ∅ is onto .
Now ,
We show that the mapping ∅ is homomorphism .
Let Ka , Kb ∈ G/K , then
→ ∅(KaKb) = ∅(Kab)
→ ∅(KaKb) = f(ab)
→ ∅(KaKb) = f(a)f(b)
→ ∅(KaKb) = ∅(Ka)∅(Kb)
→ ∅ is homomorphism .
Since ∅ is one-one onto homomorphism , hence it is an isomomorphism from G/K to G' .
Thus , G/K ≅ G' .
