Suppose G is a group and H is a normal subgroup of G. Prove or disprove ass appropirate. If G is cyclic, then GH is cyclic.
Definition: A subgroup H of a group is said to be a normal subgroup of G it for all aG, aH = Ha
Definition: Suppose G is group, and H a normal subgruop og G. THe froup consisting of the set GH with operation defined by (aH)(bH)-(ab)H is called the quotient of G by H.

Let G be a group, and H be a normal subgroup of G. Assume that G is cyclic.
To prove: GH is cyclic.
Proof: As H is normal and G is cyclic, then G is Abelian.
Let us suppose,
G=a={aiiZ}
By definition of GH, we have
GH={xHxG}
Use the hypothesis that G is cyclic, hence it gives
GH={xHxG}={aiHaiG}={aH)iaiG}=aH
Hence, it is proved that GH is cyclic.
