The TA said that we're supposed to approach the problem as to show 2Z + 5Z = {a+b | a in 2Z and b in 5Z} = Z. I forgot to paste that into #2. Other than that, you have 2Z and 5Z right. I'm sorry. I was in a rush to get to class and I didn't take my time typing out the post.
I understand where...
You need to clean up your notation a little bit, but the ROC for this series is easily found using any number of tests. Try the ratio test or the limsup test.

Show that 2\mathbb{Z} + 5\mathbb{Z} = \mathbb{Z}Homework Equations
where 2Z + 5Z = {a+b | a in 2Z and b in 5Z} = ZThe Attempt at a Solution
For any n in Z, we can write
n= (5-4)n = 5n +(-4)n = 5n + 2(-2n)
And since 5n is in 5Z and 2(-2n) is in 2Z, we can form Z from any...

Oh, my bad. I wrote the set down wrong.
WTS: Any 2-cycle is generated by the set {(12)(23)...(n-1 n)}
So taking any 2-cycle (i j) where j > i (I'm going to work on the difference between j and i. I guess what follows is a sketch. I'll clean it up later.)
If j-i=1, then (i j) = (i i+1)...
