Please do Exercise 14.4.7 and please show step by step and explain

Transcribed Image Text:(ii) rE A.
We'll deal with these two cases separately (as we did in Exercise 14.4.4).
<2>_ It follows that o (x) = o(0(x)) =
(i) In this case, o(r)
o<3>) = <4>. We can use the same argument to show
that o*(r) = <
number <7>.

< 5> , and that o (1) = < 6>_ for any natural
%3D
(ii) In this case, then r = a; for some integer j,1 <j< <8> . It
follows from the definition of cycle that o(r) = o(a;) = a mod (j+1,k).
Furthermore, o (r) = 0(a mod (j+1,k) = < 9> . Similarly it follows
that o*(r) = a mod (j+ <10>k) =a <11>_=1.
Cases (i) and (ii) establish that Vr e X, < 12 ;
ok =
> = x. It follows that
< 13 >
The proof of (B) is also structured as an exercise.

Transcribed Image Text:Proposition 14.4.6. The order of a cycle is always equal to the cycle's
length.
PROOF. To prove this, we essentially have to prove two things:
(A) If o is a cycle of length k, then ok = id;
(B) If o is a cycle of length k, then oi # id Vj:1<j< k.
The proof for (A) follows the same lines as our investigations in Exer-
cise 14.4.4. In that exercise, we considered separately the elements of X
that are moved by the cycle, and those elements that are not moved by the
cycle.
Exercise 14.4.7. Prove part (A) by filling in the blanks.
Let o e Sx be an arbitrary cycle of length k. Then o can be written as
(a1 az ... ak), for some set of elements a1, a2,…..az in X. In order to show
that ok = id, it is sufficient to show that ok(x) = <l> Væ € X. Let A
be the set {a1, a2, ... ag}. Now for any r € X, there are two possibilities:
(i) r E X\A;
