1) Find the sign of odd or even (or pality)
of permutation θ=(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8)
2) prove that any permutation
θ:S→S where S is a finite set can be
written as a product of disjoint
cycle
help!
Express as the product of disjoint
cycle the permutation
a) θ(1)=4 θ(2)=6 θ(1)=5 θ(4)=1
θ(5)=3 θ(6)=2
b) (1 6 3)(1 3 5 7)(6 7)(1 2 3 4 5)
c) (1 2 3 4 5)(6 7)(1 3 5 7)
Find the order of each of them
help!
