2. Let p be an odd prime. We saw last week that the problem of counting solutions to the congruence (mod p) is only interesting when p has the form 4k1. For the rest of this problem let p 4k+1. (a) Show that (mod -1 5 (mod 8) (b) Show that pEl (mod 8 -1 p5 (mod 8) (c) Draw condlusions about the number of solutions to these congruences 14 (mod p) -1 (mod p) (mod p)

7.2 Theorem. Let p be a prime, and let b and e be integers. Then there exists a linear change of variahle, yx+ with a an integer truns- farming the congruence xbx e0 (mod p) into a congruence of the farm y (mod p) for some integer 8 Our goal is to understand which integers are perfect squares of other inte- gers modulo a prime p. The first theorem below tells us that half...

Exercise 1. Figure out how many solutions x2 = x (mod n) has for n = 5,6,7, and then compute how many solutions there are modulo 210. Exercise 2. (a) Find all solutions to x2 +8 = 0 (mod 11). (b) Using your answer to part (a) and Hensel's Lemma, find all solutions to x2 +8 = 0 (mod 121). Exercise 3. Solve f(x) = x3 – x2 +...
