Please do Exercise 14.4.25 part E and F. Please show step by step and explain

14.4.3 Transpositions and inverses
The simplest nontrivial cycles are those of length 2. We will show that these
2-cycles are convenient “building blocks" which can be used to construct all
other cycles.
Definition 14.4.23. Cycles of length 2 are called transpositions. We will
often denote transpositions by the symbol 7 (the greek letter “tau").
Exercise 14.4.24. Compute the following products:
(a) (14)(13)(12)
(d) (49)(48)(47)(46)(45)
(b) (14)(18)(19)
(c) (16)(15)(14)(13)(12)
(e) (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)
Exercise 14.4.25. In light of what you discovered in the previous exercise,
write each cycle as a product of transpositions:
(a) (1492)
(c) (472563)
(e) (a1a2aza5a6)
(b) (12345)
(d) (a1a2a3)
(f) (a1a2a3a5agazas)
