Homework Statement
Let H be a subgroup of group G. Then
[itex]H \unlhd G \Leftrightarrow xHx^{-1}=H \forall x\in G [/itex]
[itex] \Leftrightarrow xH=Hx \forall x\in G [/itex]
[itex] \Leftrightarrow xHx^{-1}=Hxx^{-1} \forall x\in G [/itex]
[itex] \Leftrightarrow xHx^{-1}=HxHx^{-1}=H \forall x\in G [/itex]
Homework Equations
xH={xh:h in H}
The Attempt at a Solution
Reviewed the definitions and properties of cosets/normal subgrps, but could not understand the last step. That is how to get from [itex] Hxx^{-1} to HxHx^{-1}[/itex]
EDIT:
Is it simply because [itex] xH=H \Leftrightarrow x \in H [/itex] ?
