<h3>Answer:</h3>

a_n = 23 +12(n -1)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is explicitly defined as a_n = a_1 +d(n -1) where a_1 is the first term of the sequence and d is the the common difference.

From the given first five terms of the sequence we can see that the first term is 23 so a_1 = 23.

The common difference, d, can be calculated by a_n - a_{n -1} so we'll find the common difference of the given sequence by letting n = 2

d = a_2 - a_{2 -1} \\d = a_2 -a_{1} \\d = 35 -23 \\ d = 12.

Now let's plug everything we know.

a_1 = 23

d = 12

a_n = 23 + 12(n -1)

For each x and n, find the multiplicative inverse mod n of x. Your answer should be an integer s in the range 0 through n - 1. C
krok68 [10]

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}
