(b). Let N = {1,2,3,...,}. Let G = Sym(N) be the group of all bijec- tive functions from N→ N. Then it is clear that G is an infinite group (under composition) as there are infinite bijections from N to N. Con- sider a = (1, 2) and b = (2,3). That is a is the function such that a(1) = 2,a(2) = 1 and a (n) = n for all ne N. It is clear a = a-¹ since a² = I. Let b = (2, 3) denote the function b(2) = 3, b(3) = 2 and b(n) = n for all ne N. Then we have

(b). Let N = {1,2,3,...,}. Let G = Sym(N) be the group of all bijec-
tive functions from N→ N. Then it is clear that G is an infinite group
(under composition) as there are infinite bijections from N to N. Con-
sider a = (1,2) and b = (2,3). That is a is the function such that
a(1) = 2,a(2) = 1 and a (n) = n for all ne N. It is clear a = a-¹
since a² = I. Let b = (2, 3) denote the function b(2) = 3, b(3) = 2
and b(n) = n for all ne N. Then we have
a=¹ba = a oboa
= (1, 2) (2, 3) o (1,2)
= (1,3)
It is clear that a-¹ba = (1,3) b = (2,3).
