Assignment 10 due in Recitation, week of April 15

  1. Follow the models given in class and in the notes to write the addition and multiplication tables mod $5$.
  2. Use your addition table to solve
  3. Use your multiplication table to solve
  4. Write the multiplication table mod $13$.
  5. Use your multiplication table to identify the reciprocals (multiplicative inverses) of all the non-zero equivalence classes mod $13$. For example the mod $13$ reciprocal of $7$ is $2$ since $7\cdot 2 = 14 = 13 + 1$ so $7\cdot 2 \equiv 1$ mod $13$.
  6. Use your multiplication table to solve $10\cdot x \equiv 7$ mod $13$.
  7. Use your multiplication to identify all the perfect squares mod $13$. These are the numbers equal to $x\cdot x$ mod $13$ for some $x$. You should find seven of them, counting zero.

Remember: Collaboration is fine, but what you hand in should be your own work. Handing in something you copied is plagiarism and will cost you if it is detected. Write down what you tried and how it worked.
