Expressing a product in a Dihedral group

750 Views Asked by At

Write the product $x^2yx^{-1}y^{-1}x^3y^3$ in the form $x^iy^j$ in the dihedral group $D_n$.

I used the fact that the dihedral group is generated by two elements $x$ and $y$ such that: $y^n=1$, $x^2=1$ and $xy=y^{-1}x$

and I found that $x^2yx^{-1}y^{-1}x^3y^3=y^5$

Is it correct ?
