Consider 𝑆4 . Let 𝛷1 = ( ), 𝛷2 = ( ) and 𝛷3 = ( ).

(2) Determine the following: 𝛷12 , 𝛷1 𝛷2 , (𝛷1 𝛷2 )−1 and 𝛷12 𝛷2 𝛷12 .
Solution:
(1) No, 𝛷3 is not a bijection (It is not injective, since both 1 and 4 are mapped to 1. It is also
not surjective, since no element is mapped to 3).

(2) 𝛷12 = ( )( )=( ) = 𝑒.

(𝛷1 𝛷2 )−1 =( ).

Since 𝛷12 = 𝑒, so

𝛷12 𝛷2 𝛷12 = 𝑒𝛷2 𝑒 = 𝛷2 = ( ).
