2. Let f and g be even permutations in Sn, for some n ≥ 2. (a) Explain why ƒ o g is an even permutation. 1 (b) Explain why f-¹ is an even permutation. (c) The identity permutation & is even because we can write it as the product of two transpositions. For example ɛ = (12)(12). What does this fact, along with parts (a) and (b), tell us about the set, An, of all even permutations in Sn?
