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).

From point A to C, which is the length of the entire line, it's 3x + 1.
AB = 2x + 4
BC = 10

This means that AB + BC = AC

All you have to do is plug in the equations.

(2x + 4) + (10) = (3x + 1)
2x + 14 = 3x + 1
2x + 13 = 3x
13 = x

Now plug in the value of x (13) into the AC equation (3x + 1).
AC = 3(13) + 1
AC = 39 + 1
AC = 40

The answer is:
a. 40

To rent a certain meeting room, a college charges a reservation fee of $49 and an additional fee of $5.40 per hour. The chemistr
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The maximum amount of money the chemistry club can spend without going over their buget is $81.4 ... With a total of 6 hours their allowed to use the room for.

Step-by-step explanation:

$49 is our constant and will not change. 5.40 however will. Let's use variable h for the amount hours they can rent the room for. Now we can make an inequality;

49+ 5.40h < 86.80

5.40h < 86.80

5.4h< 37.8

h< 7

Now that we know h will have to be less than seven for the chemistry club to spend less than their buget we can find that 6 is the maxium amount of hours they can spend in the room while staying within their budget.

(This answer does not consider decimals or half hours)
