Given that a is a quadratic reisdue of the odd prime p, prove the following:                                                                    b) The integer p - a is a quadratic residue or nonresidue of p according as p=1 (mod 4) or p=3 (mod 4).                      c) If p = 3 (mod 4) then x ± a^((P+1)/4)) (mod p) are the solutions of the congruence x^(2) = a (mod p).
