Prove that 41 is congruent to 21 (mod 3). Explain using words, symbols, as you wish

Mathematics

Verdich [7]2 years ago
6 0

From the proof of modular congruence below, it has been shown that;

41 ≡ 21 (mod 3).

<h3>How to Solve Modular Arithmetic?</h3>

We want to use the definition of modular congruence to prove that;

41 is congruent to 21 (mod 3) i.e if a ≡ b (mod m) then b ≡ a (mod m).

We are trying to prove that modular congruence mod 3 is a symmetric relation on the integers.

First, if we recall the definition of modular congruence:

For integers a, b and positive integer m,  

a ≡ b (mod m) if and only if m|a–b

Suppose 41 ≡ 21 (mod 3).

Then, by definition, 3|41–21, so there is an integer k such that 41 – 21 = 3k.

Thus;

–(41 – 21) = –3k

So

21 – 41 = 3(–k)

This shows that 3|21 – 41.

Thus;

21 ≡ 41 (mod 3) and the proof is complete

The area of a rectangular horse pasture is 268,500 square yards. The length of the pasture is 5 yards less than three times the
Setler79 [48]

Answer:  width = 300

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Area (A) = Length (L) x width (w)

Given: A = 268,500

           L = 3w - 5

           w = w

268,500 = (3w - 5) x (w)

268,500 = 3w² - 5w

            0 = 3w² - 5w - 268,500

            0 = (3w + 895) (w - 300)

   0 = 3w + 895        0 = w - 300

  -985/3 = w             300 = w

Since width cannot be negative, disregard w = -985/3

So the only valid answer is: w = 300

An angle is double its complement. find the angle and the complement
Alona [7]
Complement means the other angle that will sum up to 90°

So:

x + 2x = 90°
3x = 90
x = 30°

So, it is 30° and 30 * 2°, or 60°

Four times Audrey’s age plus 7 is Patricia’s age. Patricia is 23. What is Audrey’s age
babymother [125]

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the answers correct because, If they give us pactricia's age and it's 23, then we have to subtracct 7 and divide by 4. First of all 23 minuts 7 equals 16, then we divide 16 by 4 and that equals 4 and you got your answer.

Hope This Helps!

Esteban is shopping for a bookshelf. He has 58 non-fiction books and 145 fiction books. He wants each shelf to have the same num
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Criteria:

• same number of books on each shelf

 ⇒find a number that divides 58 and 145

• greatest number of books on each shelf

 ⇒find the greatest number that divides 58 and 145

Find the GCF of 58 and 145.

58 = 2 ⋅ 29

145 = 5 ⋅ 29The GCF of 58 and 145 is 29.

Each shelf will contain 29 books.

There are 203 total books (because 58 + 145 = 203).

Divide 203 by 29 to find the number of shelves there should be.

203 / 29 = 7

Therefore, there will be 7 shelves.
