It's asking me to find a^-5
From what I understood about inverses is that it's the element before you hit the identity would be the inverse. So a^5 = (a^5, a^10, a^15,..., a^90, a^95, a^100 = e), then a^-5 = a^95.

The correct answer is actually a^20.

Can anyone help me out with understanding inverses? Thanks!

Nevermind, it was a typo. The answer was a^-5 = a^95
 
Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
