    Ehhh... it's pretty straight-forward...

    Let a and b be two elements of finite order in G. We might as well let a^n = b^m = e with n,m > 0.

    Show:

    (1) a^-1 has finite order. (by the way: o(a^-1) = n)

    (2) ab has finite order. (also by the way: o(ab) = lcm(n,m) )

    ok, you coaxed him in to telling you some situation personal. do now no longer beat him up about it or he gained't in any respect have self belief you decrease back. Posting a question about this on Yahoo recommendations is already risky and could setup a huge wrestle (As in "OMG, I counseled you a secret and also you blabbed it on the guidelines superhighway!!!!!!!!") Stepping on insects looks spectacular yet human being adult adult males are spectacular. We (human being adult adult males) can make a delusion about some thing. a minimum of it really isn't some situation risky like self-mutiliation or extreme S&M stuff. authentic problem is that in case you want a particular relationship w/this guy, do now no longer ridicule him for placing out up as a lot as you. placing out up up (emotionally) is not any doubt really between the hardest topics for human being adult adult males to do.
