Then, \(a = pm\) and \(a^n = p^n \cdot m^n\). \(p^n\) is a factor of \(a^n\) and thus \(p^n | a^n\). \subsection{Question 17} \label{sec:orgf0ee3ce} From the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, both \(a\) and \(b\) must be a product of primes such that \(a = (p \cdot p_1 \cdot p_2 \dotsc p_i)\) and \(b = (p \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2 \dotsc q_j)\) with each \(p_i\) and \(q_j\) being prime. Then, \(a^2 = (p \cdot p_1 \cdot p_2 \dotsc p_r) \cdot (p \cdot p_1 \cdot p_2 \dotsc p_r)\) and \(b^2 = (p \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2 \dotsc q_j) \cdot (p \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2 \dotsc q_j)\). \(p^2\) is then a common factor of \(a^2\) and \(b^2\), and since each other factor (\(p_i^2\), \(q_i^2\)) is a square of a prime, there can be no other greater common divisor than \(p^2\). Therefore, \((a, b) = p \Rightarrow (a^2, b^2) = p^2\) when p is prime. \subsection{Question 30} \label{sec:org711c1fd} \subsubsection{a} \label{sec:org622b53c} Firstly assume that there are \(a,b \ni a^2 = 2b^2\). Then, \(a^2 = p_1 p_2 \dotsc p_r\) and \(2b^2 = q_1 q_2 \dotsc q_s\), and by the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, every \(p_i = \pm q_j\). Since \(a^2\) is even as it is equal to \(2b^2\), let \(p_1\) be the factor corresponding to a power of \(2\). Then \(p_1 = 2^n\) and \(n\) must be a multiple of \(2\) since \(a^2 = 2^n \dotsc \Rightarrow a = 2^{\frac{n}{2}} \dotsc\) However, \(2b^2 = \pm 2^n \dotsc\) implies that \(b^2 = \pm 2^{n-1} \dotsc\) and from similar reasoning \(n-1\) must also be a multiple of \(2\). This is a contradiction - not both \(n\) and \(n-1\) can be multiples of \(2\)! \subsubsection{b} \label{sec:orgfba7c43} Just reformat it: \begin{equation*} \sqrt{2} = \frac{a}{b} \Rightarrow 2 = \frac{a^2}{b^2} \Rightarrow 2b^2 = a^2 \end{equation*} \section{Section 2.1} \label{sec:orgd42fe0f} \subsection{Question 2} \label{sec:org8c3b581} \subsubsection{a} \label{sec:orgc7b35b9} \begin{equation*} 6k + 5 \equiv_4 6 + 5 \equiv_4 11 \equiv_4 3 \end{equation*} \subsubsection{b} \label{sec:org07ec8aa} \begin{equation*} 2r + 3s \equiv_{10} 2(3) + 3(-7) \equiv_{10} 6 - 21 \equiv_{10} -15 \equiv_{10} 5 \end{equation*} \subsection{Question 3b} \label{sec:org29b1c99} \begin{align*} & 10(0) + 9(0) + 8(3) + 7(1) + 6(1) + 5(0) + 4(5) + 3(5) + 2(9) + 5 \\ &\equiv_{11 }24 + 7 + 6 + 20 + 15 + 18 + 5 \\ &\equiv_{11} 95 \\ &\equiv_{11} 7 \end{align*} Invalid ISBN \subsection{Question 5} \label{sec:org37d83f3} \subsubsection{a} \label{sec:org770db68} Theorem 2.2 states that if \(a \equiv_4 b\), and \(c \equiv_4 d\), then \(ac \equiv_4 bd\). Since \(5 \equiv_4 1\) and \(5 \cdot 5 \equiv_4 1 \cdot 1\), then \(5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \equiv_4 1 \cdot 1 \cdot 1\). We can continue chaining these together until we find \(5^{2000} \equiv_4 1^{2000}\), and thus [5\textsuperscript{2000}] = [1] in \(\mathds{Z}_4\). \subsubsection{b} \label{sec:org12acb79} By repeating the same process as in a, \(4 \equiv_5 4\) and \(4^2 \equiv_5 1\). Then, \(4^3 \equiv_5 4 \cdot 1\). Then, \(4^4 \equiv_5 4^2 \Rightarrow 4^4 \equiv_5 1\). In general as we keep chaining on and because of Theorem 2.2, even powers of 4 will be equivalent mod 5 to 1, and odd powers of 4 will be equivalent mod 5 to 4. Therefore, \(4^{2001} \equiv_5 1\) and \([4^{2001}] = [1]\) in \(\mathds{Z}_5\). \subsection{Question 7} \label{sec:orgc6a9940} If \(a \in \mathds{Z}\) then \(a \equiv_4 m\) with \(m \in {1,2,3,4}\). Then, by Theorem 2.2 again, \(a^2 \equiv_4 m^2\). \([m^2] \in \mathds{Z}_4\) must be equivalent to any \({[1^2], [2^2], [3^2], [4^2]} = {[1], [0], [1], [0]}\). Therefore, \([a^2]\) cannot be in \({[3], [4]} \subset {[2], [3], [4]}\) \subsection{Question 14} \label{sec:org0f658a6} \subsubsection{a} \label{sec:org9ee67bf} A simple python script will prove this is false: \begin{verbatim} seen = set() for n in range(1, 10): for a in range(0, 10): for b in range(0, 10): seenfoo = (a, b, n) in seen or (b, a, n) in seen if (a * b) % n == 0 and a % n != 0 and b % n != 0 and not seenfoo: seen.add((a, b, n)) print(f"a={a}, b={b}, n={n}") \end{verbatim} And we receive several counterexamples: \begin{verbatim} a=2, b=2, n=4 a=2, b=6, n=4 a=6, b=6, n=4 a=2, b=3, n=6 a=2, b=9, n=6 ... a=2, b=4, n=8 a=4, b=6, n=8 a=3, b=3, n=9 a=3, b=6, n=9 a=6, b=6, n=9 \end{verbatim} \subsubsection{b} \label{sec:org767f9d7} If \(ab \equiv_n 0\), then \(ab = mn + 0\) for some \(m \in \mathds{Z}\) by definition. Then, \(ab = mn\) implies that \(ab\) is a multiple of \(n\), and since \(n\) is prime, then by Theorem 1.8, \(n | ab\) implies that \(n | a\) or \(n | b\). \end{document}
