(please show me result in a table and the equation in mathematical format.)arrow_forwardExample: For what odd primes p is 11 a quadratic residue modulo p? Solution: This is really asking "when is (11 | p) =1?" First, 11 = 3 (mod 4). To use LQR, consider two cases p = 1 or 3 (mod 4): p=1 We have 1 = (11 | p) = (p | 11), so p is a quadratic residue modulo 11. By brute force: 121, 224, 3² = 9, 4² = 5, 5² = 3 (mod 11) so the quadratic residues mod 11 are 1,3,4,5,9. Using CRT for p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 1,3,4,5,9 (mod 11). p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 1 (mod 11 gives p 1 (mod 44). p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 3 (mod 11) gives p25 (mod 44). p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 4 (mod 11) gives p=37 (mod 44). p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 5 (mod 11) gives p 5 (mod 44). p = 1 (mod 4) & p=9 (mod 11) gives p 9 (mod 44). So p =1,5,9,25,37 (mod 44).arrow_forward

The first earns 10% compounded annually, the second earns 10% compounded quarterly, and the third earns 10% compounded continuously. Find equations that model each investment growth and use a graphing utility to graph each model in the same viewing window over a 20-year period. Use the graph to determine which investment yields the highest return after 20 years. What are the differences in earnings among the three investment? STEP 1: The formula for compound interest is A = nt = P(1 + − − ) n², where n is the number of compoundings per year, t is the number of years, r is the interest rate, P is the principal, and A is the amount (balance) after t years. For continuous compounding, the formula reduces to A = Pert Find r and n for each model, and use these values to write A in terms of t for each case. Annual Model r=0.10 A = Y(t) = 1150 (1.10)* n = 1 Quarterly Model r = 0.10 n = 4 A = Q(t) = 1150(1.025) 4t Continuous Model r=0.10 A = C(t) =…arrow_forward
