Exercise 15.5.2
As in the proof of Theorem 15.5.1, let , and assume that satisfies , where is odd. Use the multiplication formula for odd to prove (15.65):
Answers
Proof. fixes the elements of , thus , and since , for all ,
Starting from the multiplication formula for odd, we obtain
Since , using the multiplication formula for anew,
We have proved
