Math Problem Statement

Determine the truth or falsity of the given statements related to permutations.

Solution

The problem presents four statements, and you need to determine which are true or false.

  1. Minden transzpozíció páratlan permutáció.

    • Translation: Every transposition is an odd permutation.
    • True. A transposition is a permutation that swaps two elements, and it is always an odd permutation because it involves an odd number of swaps (1 swap).
  2. Egy halmaz önmagára vett bijektív leképezését a halmaz permutációjának nevezzük.

    • Translation: A bijective map from a set to itself is called a permutation of the set.
    • True. By definition, a permutation is a bijective (one-to-one and onto) function from a set to itself.
  3. |S₃| = 3.

    • Translation: The order of the symmetric group S3S_3 is 3.
    • False. The symmetric group S3S_3 is the group of all permutations of 3 elements. The order of S3S_3 is 3!=63! = 6, not 3.
  4. Egy páros és egy páratlan permutáció szorzata páratlan.

    • Translation: The product of an even and an odd permutation is odd.
    • False. The product of an even permutation and an odd permutation is always odd. However, this statement claims the wrong result.

Summary:

  • 1st: True
  • 2nd: True
  • 3rd: False
  • 4th: False
