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).

Explanation:
Sum of all angles= 180 degrees

So,
3x + 75= 180
3x= 180 - 75
3x= 105
x= 105/3
x= 35

Answer= 35 degrees

3 Prove that<br>cos130°+cos 110+ cos10=0​
Evgesh-ka [11]

We know, cos A + cos B = 2cos(C+D)/2 × cos(C - D)/2

So,

cos 130 + cos 110 + cos 10

cos 130 + 2cos (110+10)/2 × cos( 110-10)/2

cos 130 + 2cos 60 × cos 50

cos ( 180 - 50 ) + 2cos60 cos 50

We know, cos ( 180 - A ) = -cos A

2cos 60 cos 50 - cos 50

Also, cos 60 = 0.5

2×0.5 cos 50 - cos50

cos 50 - cos 50

0  = RHS.

Hence proved
