Modular arithmetic<br> Pls a little explaine it

fredd [130]

Step-by-step explanation:

(72)¹⁴³ ≡ x (mod 7)

Since 72 ≡ 2 (mod 7),

72³ ≡ 2³ (mod 7) ≡ 1 (mod 7).

Therefore (72)¹⁴³ = (72³)⁴⁷ * (72²)

≡ 1⁴⁷ * 4 (mod 7) ≡ 4 (mod 7).

The answer is A.

Factor this equation<br> 4x^2+12x-7

Levart [38]

$4x^2+12x-7=0\\\\a=4;\ b=12;\ c=-7\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=12^2-4\cdot4\cdot(-7)=144+112=256 \ \textgreater \ 0\\\\therefore\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{256}=16\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-12-16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{-28}{8}=\boxed{-\dfrac{7}{2}}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-12+16}{2\cdot4}=\dfrac{4}{8}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{2}}$
