Concept explainers
An exchange rate is a number that describes how much of one currency you can trade for another currency. For example, if the U.S. exchange rate for Canadian currency is 1.2, it means that you could trade one U.S. dollar for $1.20 Canadian. When travelers talk about how expensive or cheap a certain country is, it’s often a reflection of the exchange rate. The Big Mac costs mentioned earlier? The average cost in the U.S. in July 2016 was $5.06. In Russia it was just $2.15, and in Norway the cost was almost $6.
Use your equation to find the current cost of a Big Mac in Russia, using $2.15 as the equivalent in American dollars.

- Recall the RSA encryption/decryption system. The following questions are based on RSA. Suppose n (=15) is the product of the two prime numbers 3 and 5.1. Find an encryption key e for for the pair (e, n)2. Find a decryption key d for for the pair (d, n)3. Given the plaintext message x = 3, find the ciphertext y = x^(e) (where x^e is the message x encoded with encryption key e)4. Given the ciphertext message y (which you found in previous part), Show that the original message x = 3 can be recovered using (d, n)arrow_forwardTheorem 1: A number n ∈ N is divisible by 3 if and only if when n is writtenin base 10 the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. As an example, 132 is divisible by 3 and 1 + 3 + 2 is divisible by 3.1. Prove Theorem 1 2. Using Theorem 1 construct an NFA over the alphabet Σ = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}which recognizes the language {w ∈ Σ^(∗)| w = 3k, k ∈ N}.arrow_forwardRecall the RSA encryption/decryption system.
