Example: 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).

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.

The complete graph K2t on an even number of vertices has a 1- factorization (equivalently, its edges can be colored with 2t - 1 colors so that the edges incident to each vertex are distinct).

- . The two person game of slither is played on a graph. Players 1 and 2 take turns, building a path in the graph. To start, Player 1 picks a vertex. Player 2 then picks an edge incident to the vertex. Then, starting with Player 1, players alternate turns, picking a vertex not already selected that is adjacent to one of the ends of the path created so far. The first player who cannot select a vertex loses. (This happens when all neighbors of the end vertices of the path are on the path.) Prove that Player 2 has a winning strategy if the graph has a perfect matching and Player 1 has a winning strategy if the graph does not have a perfect matching. In each case describe a strategy for the winning player that guarantees that they will always be able to select a vertex. The strategy will be based on using a maximum matching to decide the next choice, and will, for one of the cases involve using the fact that maximality means no augmenting paths.

An arc entering a vertex may have the same color as an arc leaving it. It is probably easiest to make use of a known result about edge coloring.
