To prove that if and only if , we need to show the two directions of the implication separately.
First, let's assume that . We want to prove that is a normal subgroup of .
To show that is normal, we need to demonstrate that for every in , .
Let be an arbitrary element in . Since , it follows that for every and , the commutator is in .
Now, consider an arbitrary element . We can rewrite as for some . Since is in and is a subgroup, we have .
Therefore, we have shown that for every , , which proves that is a normal subgroup of .
Next, let's assume that is a normal subgroup of . We want to prove that .
To show this, we need to demonstrate that for every and , the commutator is in .
Since is a normal subgroup of , we have for every and .
Let's consider an arbitrary and . Since is a subgroup, as well. Therefore, we have .
Hence, we have shown that for every and , , which implies .
By proving both directions, we have established the equivalence: if and only if is a normal subgroup of .
