Properties of affine groups over finite fields


Assignment:

Let F be a field.  The 1-dimensional affine group over F is the set A of all functions f: F → F of the form f(x) = ax+b where a, b belong to F and a is a unit.  Let S and T be subsets of A consisting of the scaling (s(x)=ax) and translations (t(x) = x+b)

Are S and T normal subgroups?
If p > 3 and F = Z/p consider the subgroup of D of A generated by T and s(x) = -x.  What is the order |D| and can you find an isomorphism of D with a known group?

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
