Algebra, chapter I, § 4. Groups and groups with operators

Let GG be a group with operators and G′G' a magma with an action by Ω\Omega, written exponentially. Let f:G→G′f : G \to G' be a homomorphism of the magna GG into the magma G′G' such that, for all α∈Ω\alpha \in \Omega and all x∈Gx \in G, f(xα)=f(x)αf(x^\alpha) = f(x)^\alpha. Then f(G)f(G) is a stable subset of G′G' under the law on G′G' and the action of Ω\Omega; the set f(G)f(G) with the induced laws is a group with operators and the mapping x↦f(x)x \mapsto f(x) of GG into f(G)f(G) is a homomorphism of groups with operators.

By virtue of §1§ 1, no. 4, Proposition 1, f(G)f(G) is a stable subset of G′G' under the internal law on G′G'. For every element x∈Gx \in G and for every operator α\alpha, f(x)α=f(xα)∈f(G)f(x)^\alpha = f(x^\alpha) \in f(G) and therefore f(G)f(G) is stable under the action of Ω\Omega on G′G'. Writing the internal law of G′G' multiplicatively,

(f(x)f(y))f(z)=f(xy)f(z)=f((xy)z)=f(x(yz))=f(x)f(yz)=f(x)(f(y)f(z)) (f(x)f(y))f(z) = f(xy)f(z) = f((xy)z) = f(x(yz)) = f(x)f(yz) = f(x)(f(y)f(z))
for all elements x,y,zx, y, z in GG; therefore the induced law on f(G)f(G) is associative.

Let ee be the identity element of GG. Its image f(e)f(e) is an identity element of f(G)f(G) (§2§ 2, no. 1). Every element of f(G)f(G) is invertible in f(G)f(G) (§2§ 2, no. 3). Therefore the law induced on f(G)f(G) by the internal law on G′G' is a group law. For all elements xx and yy in GG and every operator α\alpha,

(f(x)f(y))α=(f(xy))α=f((xy)α)=f(xαyα)=f(xα)f(yα)=(f(x))α(f(y))α (f(x)f(y))^\alpha = (f(xy))^\alpha = f((xy)^\alpha) = f(x^\alpha y^\alpha) = f(x^\alpha)f(y^\alpha) = (f(x))^\alpha(f(y))^\alpha

which shows that the action of Ω\Omega is distributive with respect to the group law on f(G)f(G). Therefore f(G)f(G) with the induced laws is a group with operators and clearly the mapping x↦f(x)x \mapsto f(x) is a homomorphism of groups with operators.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
