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...
Let p be a prime. Consider the sequence 11,22,3, 44,55 modulo p. Prove that the resulting sequence is periodic with smallest period p(p - 1). (This means that p(p - 1) is the least among all positive integers l with the property that whenever n = m (mod l), we have n" = m" (mod p).)
