# Thread: Permutations and Abelian Group proof.

1. $\beta=(2,3,9)(6,9,10)=\left(\begin{array}{cccccccc cc}1&2&3&4&5&6&7&8&9&10\\1&3&9&4&5&6&7&8&2&10\\1&3 &10&4&5&9&7&8&2&6\end{array}\right)$

$\beta=\left(\begin{array}{cccccccccc}1&2&3&4&5&6&7 &8&9&10\\1&3&10&4&5&9&7&8&2&6\end{array}\right)=(2 ,3,10,6,9)$

Ah, I get it now! Thanks very much!

So now, with Alpha*Eta = Beta,

that means Eta = Alpha^(-1) * Beta, how do you go about computing that?

3. After some calculations, would I be correct to state that:

Alpha^(-1) = Alpha

That's what I found. There what I need to compute is:

Eta = AlphaBeta

ok it is easy now to solve it

$\eta = \alpha \beta$

$\eta = (1,2)(10,8)(2,3,10,6,9)$ simplify it
