Using the Chinese Remainder Theorem, solve the congruence x 15 (mod 42) x 5 (mod 19)

19 and 42 are coprime, so we can use the CRT right away. Start with

x=19+42

Taken mod 42, we're left with a remainder of 19. Notice that

19\cdot3\equiv57\equiv15\pmod{42}

so we need to multiply the first term by 3 to get the remainder we want.

x=19\cdot3+42

Next, taken mod 19, we're left with a remainder of 4. Notice that

42\cdot6\equiv252\equiv5\pmod{19}

so we need to multiply the second term by 6.

Then by the CRT, we have

x\equiv19\cdot3+42\cdot6\equiv309\pmod{42\cdot19}\implies x\equiv309\pmod{798}

so that any solution of the form x=798n+309 is a solution to this system.

Answer:

  a. f(0) = 1

  b. DNE (does not exist)

  c. DNE

  d. lim = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The function exists at a point if it is defined there. The function is defined anywhere on the solid line and at solid dots. It is not defined at open circles. So, the function is defined everywhere except (2, 3), which has an open circle.

The open circle at (0, 4) prevents the function from being doubly-defined at x=0, since it is already defined to be 1 at x=0.

This discussion tells you ...

  f(0) = 1

 f(2) does not exist. There is a "hole" in the function definition there.

__

The function has a limit at a point if approaching from the left and approaching from the right have you approaching that same point.

Consider the point (1, 2). The graph is a solid line through that point. Approaching from values less than x=1, we get to the same point (1, 2) as when we approach from values greater than x=1.

Similarly, consider the point (2, 3). Approaching from values of x less than 2, we get to the same point (2, 3) as when we approach from x-values greater than 2. The limit at x=2 is 3. The only difference from the previous case is that the function is not actually defined to be that value there.

__

Now consider what happens at x=0. When we approach from the left, we approach the point (0, 4). When we approach from the right, we approach the point (0, 1). These are different points. Because they are different coming from the left and from the right, we say "the limit as x→0 does not exist."

__

In summary, ...

  a) f(0) = 1

  b) lim x → 0 does not exist

  c) f(2) does not exist

  d) lim x → 2 = 3

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The significance of the function not being defined at a point where the limit exists, (2, 3), is that <em>the function is not continuous there</em>. This kind of discontinuity is called "removable", because we could make the function continuous at x=2 by defining f(2) = 3 (that is, "filling the hole").

REY [17]

Answer:

In order to tell if these are congruent triangles we would need to know if angles Y and V were congruent, angles X and W are congruent or if segments XU and WU were congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any of these would work because you can use two different methods to telling that these are congruent triangles.

The first method is called side-angle-side. In it you need two side lengths that are congruent with a congruent angle in the middle. Since we already know that the right angle in the middle is congruent, and we know YU and VU are congruent, we would just need to know the additional side to prove congruence.

The second method is called angle, angle side. In this we need to know that two angles in a row are congruent followed by a side. Since we know the middle angle is the same, knowing either other angles would give us this method as well.
