You are making a welding fixture and must cut down a length of steel tubing from 19 3/8 inches to 11 9/16 inches. When you cut t

he tubing, you will waste 1/16 inch of it because of the width of the saw cut. If the leftover piece is long enough, you will use it in another fixture. How long will this leftover piece be?

Answer:

7.75 inches or 7 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 11 9/16 from 19 3/8.

19 6/16 - 11 9/16

18 22/16 - 11 9/16

7 13/16

Now subtract the 1/16

7 13/16 - 1/16

7 12/16 = 7 3/4 = 7.75

Solve the following equations: (a) x^11=13 mod 35 (b) x^5=3 mod 64

a.

$x^{11}=13\pmod{35}\implies\begin{cases}x^{11}\equiv13\equiv3\pmod5\\x^{11}\equiv13\equiv6\pmod7\end{cases}$

By Fermat's little theorem, we have

$x^{11}\equiv (x^5)^2x\equiv x^3\equiv3\pmod5$

$x^{11}\equiv x^7x^4\equiv x^5\equiv6\pmod 7$

5 and 7 are both prime, so $\varphi(5)=4$ and $\varphi(7)=6$ . By Euler's theorem, we get

$x^4\equiv1\pmod5\implies x\equiv3^{-1}\equiv2\pmod5$

$x^6\equiv1\pmod7\impleis x\equiv6^{-1}\equiv6\pmod7$

Now we can use the Chinese remainder theorem to solve for $x$ . Start with

$x=2\cdot7+5\cdot6$

Taken mod 5, the second term vanishes and $14\equiv4\pmod5$ . Multiply by the inverse of 4 mod 5 (4), then by 2.

$x=2\cdot7\cdot4\cdot2+5\cdot6$

Taken mod 7, the first term vanishes and $30\equiv2\pmod7$ . Multiply by the inverse of 2 mod 7 (4), then by 6.

$x=2\cdot7\cdot4\cdot2+5\cdot6\cdot4\cdot6$

$\implies x\equiv832\pmod{5\cdot7}\implies\boxed{x\equiv27\pmod{35}}$

b.

$x^5\equiv3\pmod{64}$

We have $\varphi(64)=32$ , so by Euler's theorem,

$x^{32}\equiv1\pmod{64}$

Now, raising both sides of the original congruence to the power of 6 gives

$x^{30}\equiv3^6\equiv729\equiv25\pmod{64}$

Then multiplying both sides by $x^2$ gives

$x^{32}\equiv25x^2\equiv1\pmod{64}$

so that $x^2$ is the inverse of 25 mod 64. To find this inverse, solve for $y$ in $25y\equiv1\pmod{64}$ . Using the Euclidean algorithm, we have

64 = 2*25 + 14

25 = 1*14 + 11

14 = 1*11 + 3

11 = 3*3 + 2

3 = 1*2 + 1

=> 1 = 9*64 - 23*25

so that $(-23)\cdot25\equiv1\pmod{64}\implies y=25^{-1}\equiv-23\equiv41\pmod{64}$ .

So we know

$25x^2\equiv1\pmod{64}\implies x^2\equiv41\pmod{64}$

Squaring both sides of this gives

$x^4\equiv1681\equiv17\pmod{64}$

and multiplying both sides by $x$ tells us

$x^5\equiv17x\equiv3\pmod{64}$

Use the Euclidean algorithm to solve for $x$ .

64 = 3*17 + 13

17 = 1*13 + 4

13 = 3*4 + 1

=> 1 = 4*64 - 15*17

so that $(-15)\cdot17\equiv1\pmod{64}\implies17^{-1}\equiv-15\equiv49\pmod{64}$ , and so $x\equiv147\pmod{64}\implies\boxed{x\equiv19\pmod{64}}$
