 Solution

Parametrize the matrices byDirect matrix multiplication givesThis proves closure. The identity matrix is $h(0,0,0)$, and the formulagives both a left and a right inverse, as substitution in the product formula verifies. Thus each element is an invertible matrix, and the subgroup test shows that $H$ is a subgroup of ${\mathrm{GL}}_3({\mathbb{Z}}_3)$. It is the unitriangular group ${\mathrm{UT}}_3({\mathbb{F}}_3)$ and has $3^3=27$ elements.
