Use the Euclidean algorithm to express 1 as a linear combination of x and n.

a. 52^{-1}\equiv40\pmod{77} because

77 = 1*52 + 25

52 = 2*25 + 2

25 = 12*2 + 1

so we can write

1 = 25 - 12*2 = 25*25 - 12*52 = (77 - 52)(77 - 52) - 12*52 = 77^2 - 2*52*77 + 52^2 - 12*52

Taken modulo 77 leaves us with

1\equiv52\cdot52-12\cdot52\equiv40\cdot52\pmod{77}\implies52^{-1}\equiv40\pmod{77}

b. First, 77\equiv25\pmod{52}, so really we're looking for the inverse of 25 mod 52. We've basically done the work in part (a) already:

1 = 25*25 - 12*52

Taken modulo 52, we're left with

1\equiv25\cdot25\pmod{52}\implies25^{-1}\equiv25\pmod{52}

c. The EA gives

71 = 1*53 + 18

53 = 2*18 + 17

18 = 1*17 + 1

so we get

1 = 18 - 17 = 3*18 - 53 = 3*71 - 4*53

so that taken module 71, we find

1\equiv(-4)\cdot53\pmod{71}\implies53^{-1}\equiv-4\equiv67\pmod{71}

d. Same process as with (b). First we have 71\equiv18\pmod{53}, and we've already shown that

1 = 3*18 - 53

which means, taken modulo 53, that

1\equiv3\cdot18\pmod{53}\implies71^{-1}\equiv18^{-1}\equiv3\pmod{53}

Write an equation that has a slope of -2 and passes through (-6, 2)
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

y = - 2x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 6, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 12 = - 10

y = - 2x - 10 ← equation of line

A pile of coins, consisting of quarters and half dollars, it worth $11.75. If there are 2 more quarters than half dollars, how m
lord [1]
Let the number of half dollars be x,

number of quarters = x + 2
amount of half dollars = 0.5x
amount of quarters = 0.25(x + 2)
= 0.25x + 0.5
total amount = 0.5x + 0.25x + 0.5
= 0.75x + 0.5
0.75x + 0.5 = 11.75
0.75x = 11.25
x = 15
number of quarters = x + 2
= 15 + 2
= 17

There are 17 quarters and 15 half dollars.

UNIT 8

For the first figure the Circumference of the circle is: 5.3\ip\pi cm.

For the second figure the Circumference of the circle is: 80\ip\pi inch.

<h3>What is Circumference of the Circle?</h3>

The circumference of a circle is defined as the linear distance around it.

i.e.,  C= 2 *\pi*r

  • For First Figure,

Circumference of the circle:

= 2 *\pi*r

= 2 *\pi* \frac{5.3}{2}

= 2 *\pi*2.65

Circumference= 5.3*\pi cm

  • For the second Figure,

Circumference = 2 *\pi*r

= 2 *\pi*40

 = 80 *\pi

Circumference =80\pi \;inch

For the first figure the Circumference of the circle is: 5.3\ip\pi cm.

For the second figure the Circumference of the circle is: 80\ip\pi inch.

Work out the volume of the cone, giving your answer
Gwar [14]

Answer:

If the given lengths of 7 cm, 24 cm, and 25 cm for the sides of a triangle satisfy the equation of the Pythagorean Theorem, then, yes, the given side lengths are those of a right triangle. Let's see if they are:

The well-known equation of the famous Pythagorean Theorem is:

a² + b² = c², which says that for a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides of the triangle is equal to the square of the length of the longest side called the hypotenuse, where a and b are the lengths of the two shorter sides (also called the "legs") and c is the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle).

We're given that a = 7 cm and b = 24 cm and that c = 25 cm. Substituting these values into the equation of the Pythagorean Theorem, we get:

a² + b² = c²

(7 cm)² + (24 cm)² = (25 cm)²

(7 cm)(7 cm) + (24 cm)(24 cm) = (25 cm)(25 cm)

49 cm² + 576 cm² = 625 cm²

625 cm² = 625 cm²

As we can see, the equation of the Pythagorean Theorem is satisfied, i.e., made a true statement, by the given lengths; therefore, if these three lengths, 7 cm, 24 cm, and 25 cm, are the lengths of the sides of a triangle, then the triangle is indeed a right triangle.
