a^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod p where p is prime, a\in\mathbb{Z} and a is not divisible by p.

7^{13-1}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\7^{12}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\\\542=45\cdot12+2\\\\7^{45\cdot 12}\equiv 1 \pmod {13}\\7^{45\cdot 12+2}\equiv 7^2 \pmod {13}\\7^{542}\equiv 49 \pmod{13}

Answer:

49 mod 13 = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fermat's little theorem states that

x^p = x mod p where p is a prime number.

Note that 542 = 41*13 + 9 so

7^542 = 7^(41*13 + 9)  = 7^9 * (7^41))^13

By FLT (7^41)^13 = 7^41 mod 13

So 7^542 = ( 7^9 *  7(41)^13) mod 13

= (7^9 * 7^41) mod 13

= 7^50 mod 13

Now we apply FLT to this:

50 = 3*13 + 11

In a similar method to the above we get

7^50 = (7^11 * (7^3))13)  mod 13

=  (7^11 * 7^3) mod 13

= (7 * 7^13) mod 13

= ( 7* 7) mod 13

= 49 mod 13

= 10 (answer).

Equilateral: "equal"-lateral (lateral means side) so they have all equal sides. Isosceles: means "equal legs", and we have two legs, right? Also iSOSceles has two equal "Sides" joined by an "Odd" side. Scalene: means "uneven" or "odd", so no equal sides.

Answer:

The first term of the sequence is -120.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the "nth" term of a geometric sequence is shown below:

an = a0*r^(n-1)

Where an is the nth term, r is the ratio and n is the position of the term on the sequence. For this problem we want to find what is the initial term, a0, so we will isolate it in the formula as shown below:

a0*r^(n-1) = an

a0 = an/[r^(n-1)]

We then apply the data given to us

a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^(7-1)]

a0 = 31.45728/[-0.8^6] =31.45728 /-0.262144= -120

The first term of the sequence is -120.
