8. Let p be an odd prime. In this exercise, we prove a famous result that characterizes precisely when -1 has a sqare root 1 mod 4. (You will need Wilson's Theorem for one (mod p). Prove: a 2--1 mod p has a solution if and only if p dircction of the proof.) 8. Let p be an odd prime. In this exercise, we prove a famous result that characterizes precisely when -1 has a sqare root 1 mod 4....
7.23 Theorem. Let p be a prime congruent to 3 modulo 4. Let a be a natural number with 1 a< p-1. Then a is a quadrutic residue modulo pif and only ifp-a is a quadratic non-residue modulo p. 7.24 Theorem. Let p be a prime of the form p odd prime. Then p 3 (mod 4). 241 where q is an The next theorem describes the symmetry between primitive roots and quadratic residues for primes arising from odd Sophie...
1. [10 marks] Modular Arithmetic. The Quotient-Remainder theorem states that given any integer n and a positive integer d there exist unique integers q and r such that n = dq + r and 0 r< d. We define the mod function as follows: (, r r>n = qd+r^0<r< d) Vn,d E Z d0 Z n mod d That is, n mod d is the remainder of n after division by d (a) Translate the following statement into predicate logic:...
Suppose that pı, P2, ..., P, are the only primes congruent to 1 (mod 4). Prove that 4p?p, ... p, + 1 is divisible only by primes congruent to 3 (mod 4). Assuming that all odd prime factors of integers of the form x2 +1 are congruent to 1 (mod 4), use Exercise 6 to prove that there exist infinitely many primes congruent to 1 (mod 4).
(3.5) Summing the Euler S-function (n): The Euler 6-function 6(n) counts the number of positive integers less than or equal to n, which are relatively prime with n. Evaluate 4(d), and prove that your answer is correct. (3.4) Relatively Prime Numbers and the Chinese Re- mainder Theorem: Give an example of three positive integers m, n, and r, and three integers a, b, and c such that the GCD of m, n, and r is 1, but there is no...
Problem 2 (Chinese Remaindering Theorem) [20 marks/ Let m and n be two relatively prime integers. Let s,t E Z be such that sm+tn The Chinese Remaindering Theorem states that for every a, b E Z there exists c E Z such that r a mod m (Va E Z) b mod nmod mn (3) where a convenient c is given by 1. Prove that the above c satisfies both ca mod m and cb mod n 2. LetxEZ. Prove...
Let J be the ring of integers, p a prime number, and () the ideal of J consisting of all multiples of p. Prove (a) J@) is isomorphic to Jp, the ring of integers mod p. (b) Using Theorem 3.5.1 and part (a) of this problem, that J, is a field.

Then there exists a linear change of variahle, yx+ with a an integer truns- farming the congruence xbx e0 (mod p) into a congruence of the farm y (mod p) for some integer 8 Our goal is to understand which integers are perfect squares of other inte- gers modulo a prime p. The first theorem below tells us that half...
6.32 Theorem. If k and n are natural numbers with (k, d(n)) =I, then there exist positive integers u and v satisfving ku=(n)u The previous theorem not only asserts that an appropriate exponent is always availahle, but it also tells us how to find it. The numbers u and are solutions lo a lincar Diophantine cquation just like those we studied in Chapter 6.33 Exercisc. Use your observations so far to find solutions to the follow ing congruences.
