3. Let Gl₂(F) be the group of invertible 2 × 2 matrices over the finite field Fa of q elements, where q is an odd prime power. Let Sl₂(F₁) = ker(det) be the subgroup containing those which have determinant 1. Let PGl2(Få) be the quotient of Gl₂(F) by the scalar matrices {\I | \ € FX}. Find the orders of these three groups. Are Sl₂(F) and PGl2(F₁) isomorphic?
