4 The group \(G\) consists of a set of six matrices under matrix multiplication. Two of the elements of \(G\) are \(\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { l l } 0 & 1
1 & 0 \end{array} \right)\) and \(\mathbf { B } = \left( \begin{array} { l l } 1 & - 1
0 & - 1 \end{array} \right)\).
  1. Determine each of the following:
    • \(\mathbf { A } ^ { 2 }\)
    • \(\mathbf { B } ^ { 2 }\)
    • Determine all the elements of \(G\).
    • State the order of each non-identity element of \(G\).
    • State, with justification, whether \(G\) is
    • abelian
    • cyclic.
