Transcribed Image Text:9. The Liouville Lambda (A) function is a number theoretic function – similar to T,0,¢ et al. It is denaic
by
if n = 1
X(12) :
(-1)kı+k2+...+kr if n >1
where n = p p...pr e N.
= Pi
P2
Prove that if n is a perfect square, then X(n) = 1.
10. Let r be a primitive root of some n 2 3. Prove that r
¢(n)
= -1 (mod n).
11. Find 7(n), o(n), X(n), µ(n), w(n), and ø(n) for the following integers.'
• 2250
• 199
• 286936650
• 22!
12. Let p = 17 and d be a divisor of o(p). Determine (d) for each d. List each element having order d, for
all divisors, d, of (p).

13. Calculate all the primitive roots of 41 and 26.
14. Demonstrate that 21 has no primitive root.
15. Let r be a primitive root of n. If gcd(a, n) = 1, then the smallest positive integer k such that a = rk
(mod n) is called the index of a relative to r, denoted by ind,a. The theory of indices can be used
to solve congruences. Consider the properties of indices (p. 164) and example 8.4 (p. 164). Solve

8x = 11 (mod 13)
using the fact that 6 is a primitive root of 13. Construct a table of indices for 6 modulo 13.
16. (7 points (bonus)) Solve the exercise that was previously skipped (since only 14 are required). Be sure
to clearly mark the exercise you wish to count for extra credit.
