Textbook Question

Chapter 12.5, Problem 3P

Use the recursion relation (5.8a) and the values of P 0 ( x ) and P 1 ( x ) to find P 2 ( x ) P 3 ( x ) , P 4 ( x ) , P 5 ( x ) , and P 6 ( x ) . [After you have found P 3 ( x ) , use it to find P 4 ( x ) and so on for the higher order polynomials.]

- Let n = 7, let p = 23 and let S be the set of least positive residues mod p of the first (p − 1)/2 multiple of n, i.e. n mod p, 2n mod p, ..., p-1 2 -n mod p. Let T be the subset of S consisting of those residues which exceed p/2. Find the set T, and hence compute the Legendre symbol (7|23). 23 32 how come? The first 11 multiples of 7 reduced mod 23 are 7, 14, 21, 5, 12, 19, 3, 10, 17, 1, 8. The set T is the subset of these residues exceeding So T = {12, 14, 17, 19, 21}. By Gauss' lemma (Apostol Theorem 9.6), (7|23) = (−1)|T| = (−1)5 = −1.
