Prove that a prime integer that is congruent to 1 modulo 4 is never a Gaussian prime (as defined in Chapter 13 on page 104). (Hint: as part of your answer, recall how sums of squares can be factored in the Gaussian integers.)
Prove that a prime integer that is congruent to 1 modulo 4 is never a Gaussian prime (as defined ...
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...
please prove proofs and do 7.4 7.2 Theorem. Let p be a prime, and let b and e be integers. 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...
Please prove the 3 theorems, thank you! 7.6 Theorem. Let p be a prime. Then half the numbers not congruent to 0 modulo p in any complete nesidue system modulo p are quadratic residuess modulo p and half are quadratic non-residues modulo p. From clementary school days, we have known that the product of a pos- itive number and a positive number is positive, a positive times a negative is negative, and the product of two negative numbers is positive....
Let p be an odd prime and a an integer with p not dividing a. Show that a(p-1)/2 is congruent to 1 mod p if and only if a is a square modulo p and -1 otherwise. (hint: think generators)
8.20 Question. Which natural mumbers can be written as the sum of two squares of natural raumbers? State and prove the mast general theorem possible about which natural numbers can be written as the sum of two suares of nutural numbers, and prove it. We give the most gencral result next. 8.21 Theorem. A natural number n can be written as a sum of two squares of natural mumbers if and only if every prime congruent to 3 modulo 4...
please prove the theorems, thank you very much 8.21 Theorem. A natural numbern can be written as a sum of two squares of natural numbers if and only if every prime congruent to 3 modulo 4 in the unique prime factorization of n occurs to an even power Pythagorean triples revisited We are now in a position to describe the possible values for the hypotenuse in a primitive Pythagorean triple. 8.22 Theorem. If (a, h, e) is a primitive Pythagorean...
Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive root modulo p, then g^(p-1)/2 ≡ -1 (mod p). Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive root modulo p, then go-1)/2 =-1 (mod p) Hint: Use Lemma 2 from Chapter 28 (If p is prime and d(p 1), then cd-1 Ξ 0 (mod p) has exactly d solutions). Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive...
Theorem 16.1. Let p be a prime number. Suppose r is a Gaussian integer satisfying N(r) = p. Then r is irreducible in Z[i]. In particular, if a and b are integers such that a² +62 = p, then the Gaussian integers Ea – bi and £b£ai are irreducible. Exercise 16.1. Prove Theorem 16.1. (Hint: For the first part, suppose st is a factorization of r. You must show that this factorization is trivial. Apply the norm to obtain p=...
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. If the integers mi, i = 1,..., n, are relatively prime in pairs, and a1,..., an are arbitrary integers, show that there is an integer a such that a = ai mod mi for all i, and that any two such integers are congruent modulo mi ... mn. 4. If the integers mi, i = 1,..., n, are relatively prime in pairs and m = mi...mn, show that there is a ring isomorphism between Zm and the direct product...
