Please prove the 3 theorems,
thank you!
7.6 Theorem. Let p be a prime. Then half the numbers not congruent to 0 modulo p in any complete nesidue system modulo p are quadratic residuess modulo p and half are quadratic non-residues modulo p. From clementary school days, we have known that the product of a pos- itive number and a positive number is positive, a positive times a negative is negative, and the product of two negative numbers is positive....
7.23 Theorem. Let p be a prime congruent to 3 modulo 4. Let a be a natural number with 1 a< p-1. Then a is a quadrutic residue modulo pif and only ifp-a is a quadratic non-residue modulo p. 7.24 Theorem. Let p be a prime of the form p odd prime. Then p 3 (mod 4). 241 where q is an The next theorem describes the symmetry between primitive roots and quadratic residues for primes arising from odd Sophie...
Let n be a nonnegative integer and let F 22 + 1 be a Fermat number. Prove that if is a prime number, then either n=0 or 3--1mod F. [Hint: If n 2 1, use the law of quadratic reciprocity to evaluate the Legendre symbol (3/F). Now use Euler's Criterion (Theorem 4.4).]

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...

then g^(p-1)/2 ≡ -1 (mod p).
Let p be an odd prime. Prove that if g is a primitive root modulo p, then go-1)/2 =-1 (mod p) Hint: Use Lemma 2 from Chapter 28 (If p is prime and d(p 1), then cd-1 Ξ 0 (mod p) has exactly d solutions).

Problem 6: Let p be an odd prime number, so that p= 2k +1 for some positive integer k. Prove that (k!)2 = (-1)k+1 mod p. Hint: Try to see how to group the terms in the product (p − 1)! = (2k)! = 1 * 2 * 3... (2k – 2) * (2k – 1) * (2k) to get two products, each equal to k! modulo p.
Let P, Q ∈ Z[x]. Prove that P and Q are relatively prime in
