    You can also always check yourself, since opposite pairs must add to 55.
    46 (from 1,2) + 9 (from 4,9) = 55
    31 (from 1,9) + 24 (from 4,2) = 55

    You could solve it by rewriting x^2 Ξ 26 (mod 55) as
    1= 26(x^-1)^2 (mod 55)
    this means all you have to do is find the inverse of 26 mod 55 and take the square root
    26^-1 Ξ 36 (mod 55)
    √36 is 6
    now, 6 is x^-1
    so, the inverse of 6 (mod 55) will be x
    6^-1 Ξ 46 mod 55
    46 is a solution for x

    • @tracyh5751
      @tracyh5751 5 лет назад +2

      By doing this you have assumed that 6 is the only square root of 6(this is not true) And that x is not divisible by the factors of 55(which is true in this example, but not in general).

    At 6:00 "Or, you can just do it in your head", If you're going to do it in your head, you can just check each integer that's congruent to 2 *or* 9 (mod 11) and less than 55.
    Start with { 2, 9 } and keep adding 11. There are just ten of them: { 2, 9, 13, 20, 24, 31, 35, 42, 46, 53 }
    Reject any that are not congruent to 1 *or* 4 (mod 5), which is easy because you only need examine the final digit. Then you have the list of four solutions: { 9, 24, 31, 46 } in one pass.
    Note that they come in pairs, summing to 55, because if x works, then 55-x also works, so you can get all four solutions just by testing up to 27 "in your head".

    4:09: Easier without the Chinese Reminder Theorem like this:
    eq. 1 X = 1 mod 5
    eq. 2 X = 2 mod 11
    Multiply each equation by the modus of the other equation, that is 11 * eq.1 and 5 * eq 2:
    11 X = 11 mod 55 ( the mod is now 55, check it is ok using the definition of modulus is not convinced)
    5 X = 10 mod 55
    We can now add/subtract since they both share the same modus:
    6 X = 1 mod 55
    46 is the inverse of 6 in mod 55 ( check 1 == 46*6), so,
    (46*6) X == (1) X = 46 * 1 mod 55 => X = 46, as you found, ... later on, with much more computations.

      ​Hm, I must admit that I made a mistake. My formula actually gives the largest C such that x=yz => x=ab(modC), however we do not have x=ab(modC) => x=yz for some y,z. Unfortunately we can prove the if and only if to be impossible in some scenarios.
      However, the question of finding this largest C is still interesting. In the case (y=5mod8, z=2mod4) you actually get C=4, so x=2mod4. However, x can not be 2. But since x can be both 6 and 10, there is no C larger than 4.
      Exactly which x can be made by x=yz with y=5mod8 and z=2mod4 actually looks really interesting, as I can not find any patterns. Here are all x below 200.

      Additionally, we can ask ourselves when the if and only if actually holds. I have no progress on this yet.

      @@SmileyMPV Really, I'm pretty sure that there's not a nice congruence for the example you gave. You could describe the solution set, though: x={32mn+16m+20n+10 | m,n are integers}. You could examine this in multiple mods, but I don't think any of those mods will account for those values 2 mod 4 that x cannot take. You could have x=0 mod 2, x=2 mod 4, x=4n+2 mod 8, x=4n+10 mod 16, and x=16m+20n+10 mod 32. I think that's the closest you could get to a nice answer.

  • @RexxSchneider
    @RexxSchneider 3 года назад

    If you're going to do it in your head, you might as well deduce that x is of the form 5n +/- 1 *and* 11m +/- 2. You still get the four cases, but they are a little easier to hold in your head and to see the solutions.
    For example, when x = 5n+1 = 11m+2, you get n = (11m+1)/5 and you then see m=4 gives integer n=9, so x = 46. Knowing that all four solutions repeat at multiples of 55 immediately gives you -9 and another solution; hence x=9 is also a solution, and you're half-way there.
    Similarly taking x = 5n+1 = 11m-2 it becomes n = (11m-3)/5 yielding m=3, n=6 and x=31. Knowing x=31, you get x=-24 which implies x=24 as the fourth solution in the range 0 to 55.
    Of course, if you're not going to do it in your head, you can just use a computer anyway.

  • @ffggddss
    @ffggddss 5 лет назад

    IOW, 55k + 26 = x², that is, a square. To check x, we need only check 0, ..., 27, because the rest of the possible residues are ≡ -27, ..., -1, and when squared, these give the same values as the positive group.
    0...5 are too small (x² < 26).
    The first "hit" is 9² = 81 = 55 + 26.
    To find another x, we could use
    x² - 9² = (x-9)(x+9) = 55k
    and so, the factors on the left have to have a 5 and an 11 between the two of them. And we need consider only 9 < x ≤ 27; i.e., 0 < x-9 ≤ 18.
    So we try x-9 = {5, 10, 11, 15}, and see whether x+9 = (x-9) + 18 = {23, 28, 29, 33} can provide the missing factor.
    The "hit" then, is x = 24.
    So there are four solutions: x ≡ {±9, ±24} ≡ {9, 24, 31, 46}, to put the residues back into the 0...54 range.
    If instead, we start checking k-values, we need check only as long as 55k + 26 ≤ 27² = 729. We get:
    k = 0: 26 ≠ ⧠
    k = 1: 81 = (±9)²
    k = 2: 136 ≠ ⧠
    k = 3: 191 ≠ ⧠
    k = 4: 246 ≠ ⧠
    k = 5: 301 ≠ ⧠
    k = 6: 356 ≠ ⧠
    k = 7: 411 ≠ ⧠
    k = 8: 466 ≠ ⧠
    k = 9: 521 ≠ ⧠
    k=10: 576 = (±24)²
    k=11: 631 ≠ ⧠
    k=12: 686 ≠ ⧠
    and again, only x ≡ ±9 and ±24 work.

      And be careful with the a mod equation equals to 0.
      3X = 0 mod 6 has THREE solutions, X= 0 , X =2, X=4 (the gcd(3, 6) = 3 and divides 0, so 3 solutions. To get a first solution, divide by the gcd and then, solve it, here: X = 0 mod 2; add the new modus, here 2, pgcd -1 times to get the other solutions.). This way, you can also solve AX=B mod C if the gcd(A, C) divides B, for a general case and there is no solution if: B mod C / gdc(A, C) as in 2X = 3 mod 10. Sure, with B = 0, then there is always at least one solution, X=0.
      Note: I assumed that we used:
      (A*X) | C == (A|C) * (X|C) mod C
      that is, that the involved A is less than C.

    • @050138
      @050138 4 года назад +1

      It is nothing to do with product of two primes or three primes.... It is because we have X² modulo something, and you have to solve for X modulo the same number.... For any X, which the congruence holds, it has to hold for -X as well....
      So if 46 is a solution, as X = 46(mod 55), -46 is also a solution, but -46 modulo 55 is same as 9 modulo 55 (as 9 = 55 - 46)

    the inverse of 'a' over 'mod p' is 'a^(p-2) mod p'.....so when you were doing 5k = 1 mod 11, you need to "divide by 5" so you have to find the multiplicative inverse of 5. 5^9 is 1953125, mod 11 is 9....yes it's the same answer you got, but you "used your head" on an extremely small prime modulus, it becomes extremely more difficult as the prime increases, so to know the formula is good.
    To work out on paper a^b for large values, you can also do this easily with a binary representation. For example, 5^9 can be done like this:
    5 (mod 11)
    5*5 = 25 = 3 (mod 11)
    3*3 = 9 (mod 11)
    9*9 = 81 = 4 (mod 11)
    4*4 = 16 = 5 (mod 11)
    repeated 5*5 and so on from here (as you can see, each new row is the previous mod answer squared and reduced)
    binary valuation is

    Can we say X=9? Since X²=26(mod 55), just add 55+26=81 then we square it?√81=9 so 9²=26(mod 55)?

    I have one question, in Euler's identity (e^iπ = -1), if I take logarithm on both sides, then I will end up with iπ =1/e. Is it true?

    • @_P_a_o_l_o_
      @_P_a_o_l_o_ 5 лет назад +2

      It is not true: iπ is a purely imaginary, while 1/e is real. So they cannot be equal.
      The error in your calculation is that ln(-1) is NOT 1/e. You probably got confused with the fact that ln(1/e)=-1. Hope this helps

    • @paulfoss5385
      @paulfoss5385 5 лет назад +1

      A - The equal sign is used when both sides of the equation are identical. When doing modular arithmetic though you're interested in when different numbers have the same remainder when divided by some number called the modulus. For example 8 does not equal 15, so we don't want to write "8=15", but they have the same remainder when divided by 7, and we can work out arithmetic properties 8 and 15 must share with respect to multiples of 7.
      Same thing happens in geometry, we only say two polygons/lines/circles/whatever are equal if they are literally the same thing in the exact same position. If they are the same size and shape but positioned elsewhere in the space they are said to be congruent so we don't open ourselves up to errors that could be derived from saying that two different things are the same thing.

    • @ayush.kumar.13907
      @ayush.kumar.13907 5 лет назад

      mod means modulo. (mod b) means remainder when divided by b.
      The Triple sign stands for congruent which is sort of like equality in modular mathematics.

    Therefore x = + or - sqrt(26)

      It's easy to come up with the numbers that are 1 mod 5; they end in 1 or 6. Numbers that are 2 mod 11 have the ones digit two more than the tens digit. The other remainders work similarly, with a bit of coping with carries on the 11.

      The derivative of Gamma(x) is Gamma(x)Digamma(x) by definition of Digamma(x), so the derivative of x!=Gamma(x+1) is Gamma(x+1)Digamma(x+1). You can also use Leibniz integral rule on the integral expression of Gamma(x) to find an integral expression of its derivative.
