Prove its abelian is this proof correct

[natasha d]

Homework Statement

(ab)$^{n}$= a$^{n}$b$^{n}$ for any 3 consecutive numbers n $\in$N

Homework Equations

for an abelian group G, ab=ba $\forall$a,b$\in$G
if a$\in$G, a has an inverse element also $\in$G such that aa$^{-1}$ = e

Your proof is a little hard to read. In your proof you seem to have proved ab=e for all a,b in G? that looks fishy...
this is a solution. https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=529381

that looks fishy...

yeah it does, which is why I asked. Whats wrong with it though? if someone could point out the flawed reasoning maybe it'd better my understanding of group theory.
Thanks for the link, the (ba)$^{∞}$ proof was hilarious
