Calculating the order of two function in some group












0












$begingroup$


While studying a subject about the group operator I came across with the following question:




Consider the following function: $h_1,h_2,:,mathbb{R}tomathbb{R}$
where $h_1=-x$ and $h_2=-x+1$. Lets define a new group $X=langle h_1,
h_2rangle$
which follows $Xcurvearrowrightmathbb{R}$ by $h_1cdot x
= h_1(x)$
.



Calculate $o(h_1)$ and $o(h_2)$.




Unfortunately, the books does not have final answer or solutions. I started from using the following definition of order: Let $G$ be a group, the order of $gin G$, meaning $o(g)$ is the minimal $nin mathbb{N}$ so $g^n=e$.



By using this definition, I understand that I need to find the minimal $n,minmathbb{N}$ so $h_1^n=e$ and $h_2^m=e$. But I'm not sure how to use the that $Xcurvearrowright mathbb{R}$.

Hint/Explanation:



You should use the group action axioms, in particular this one:



If $g,hin G$ elements and $G$ acts on $X$ then $$g.(h.x) = (gh).x$$



Using this you should calculate $h_1^2.x$ and $h_2^2.x$
