Answer:

2. Jean a ten-year-old girl in the town of Hankow. Her mother and father work for the YMCA doing relief work. She attends a British school there and hates her teacher, Miss Williams, along with a couple of the other students. In general, Jean feels culturally conflicted, the product of two cultures but not belonging to either one, and she longs for a long-promised trip to America in a couple of years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homesick is author Jean Fritz's story of her childhood growing up in China in a town called Hankow. While Jean adopts a first-person perspective and includes mostly real-life details from her life, some parts of Homesick are fictionalized in order to add dramatic interest.

Find the inverse function in slope-intercept form (mx+b):

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

y= 3- x/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, swap x and y, and solve the resulting equation for x.

If the initial function is not one-to-one, then there will be more than one inverse.

So, swap the variables: y=9−3x so it becomes x=9−3y.

Now, solve the equation x=9−3y for y. You would just need to leave y alone so you divide by 3 on both sides (NOT negative 3. Just 3.)

Find an integer x such that 0<=x<527 and x^37===3 mod 527

Greeley [361]

Since $527=17\times31$ , we have that

$x^{37}\equiv3\mod{527}\implies\begin{cases}x^{37}\equiv3\mod{17}\\x^{37}\equiv3\mod{31}\end{cases}$

By Fermat's little theorem, and the fact that $37=2(17)+3=1(31)+6$ , we know that

$x^{37}\equiv(x^2)^{17}x^3\equiv x^5\mod{17}$
$x^{37}\equiv(x^1)^{31}x^6\equiv x^7\mod{31}$

so we have

$\begin{cases}x^5\equiv3\mod{17}\\x^7\equiv3\mod{31}\end{cases}$

Consider the first case. By Fermat's little theorem, we know that

$x^{17}\equiv x^{16}x\equiv x\mod{17}$

so if we were to raise $x^5$ to the $n$ th power such that

$(x^5)^n\equiv x^{5n}\equiv x\mod{17}$

we would need to choose $n$ such that $5n\equiv1\mod{16}$ (because $16+1\equiv1\mod{16}$ ). We can find such an $n$ by applying the Euclidean algorithm:

$16=3(5)+1$
$\implies1=16-3(5)$
$\implies16-3(5)\equiv-3(5)\equiv1\mod{16}$

which makes $-3\equiv13\mod{16}$ the inverse of 5 modulo 16, and so $n=13$ .

Now,

$x^5\equiv3\mod{17}$
$\implies (x^5)^{13}\equiv x^{65}\equiv x\equiv3^{13}\equiv(3^4)^2\times3^4\times3^1\mod{17}$

$3^1\equiv3\mod{17}$
$3^4\equiv81\equiv4(17)+13\equiv13\equiv-4\mod{17}$
$3^8\equiv(3^4)^2\equiv(-4)^2\mod{17}$
$\implies3^{13}\equiv(-4)^2\times(-4)\times3\equiv(-1)\times(-4)\times3\equiv12\mod{17}$

Similarly, we can look for $m$ such that $7m\equiv1\mod{30}$ . Apply the Euclidean algorithm:

$30=4(7)+2$
$7=3(2)+1$
$\implies1=7-3(2)=7-3(30-4(7))=13(7)-3(30)$
$\implies13(7)-3(30)\equiv13(7)equiv1\mod{30}$

so that $m=13$ is also the inverse of 7 modulo 30.

And similarly,

$x^7\equiv3\mod{31}[/ex] [tex]\implies (x^7)^{13}\equiv3^{13}\mod{31}$

Decomposing the power of 3 in a similar fashion, we have

$3^{13}\equiv(3^3)^4\times3\mod{31}$

$3\equiv3\mod{31}$
$3^3\equiv27\equiv-4\mod{31}$
$\implies3^{13}\equiv(-4)^4\times3\equiv256\times3\equiv(8(31)+8)\times3\equiv24\mod{31}$

So we have two linear congruences,

$\begin{cases}x\equiv12\mod{17}\\x\equiv24\mod{31}\end{cases}$

and because $\mathrm{gcd}\,(17,31)=1$ , we can use the Chinese remainder theorem to solve for $x$ .

Suppose $x=31+17$ . Then modulo 17, we have

$x\equiv31\equiv14\mod{17}$

but we want to obtain $x\equiv12\mod{17}$ . So let's assume $x=31y+17$ , so that modulo 17 this reduces to

$x\equiv31y+17\equiv14y\equiv1\mod{17}$

Using the Euclidean algorithm:

$17=1(14)+3$
$14=4(3)+2$
$3=1(2)+1$
$\implies1=3-2=5(3)-14=5(17)-6(14)$
$\implies-6(14)\equiv11(14)\equiv1\mod{17}$

we find that $y=11$ is the inverse of 14 modulo 17, and so multiplying by 12, we guarantee that we are left with 12 modulo 17:

$x\equiv31(11)(12)+17\equiv12\mod{17}$

To satisfy the second condition that $x\equiv24\mod{31}$ , taking $x$ modulo 31 gives

$x\equiv31(11)(12)+17\equiv17\mod{31}$

To get this remainder to be 24, we first multiply by the inverse of 17 modulo 31, then multiply by 24. So let's find $z$ such that $17z\equiv1\mod{31}$ . Euclidean algorithm:

$31=1(17)+14$
$17=1(14)+3$

and so on - we've already done this. So $z=11$ is the inverse of 17 modulo 31. Now, we take

$x\equiv31(11)(12)+17(11)(24)\equiv24\mod{31}$

as required. This means the congruence $x^{37}\equiv3\mod{527}$ is satisfied by

$x=31(11)(12)+17(11)(24)=8580$

We want $0\le x$ , so just subtract as many multples of 527 from 8580 until this occurs.

$8580=16(527)+148\implies x=148$
