Yup, I don't know why I didn't see that right away. Thanks!

Homework Statement The idea of this problem is to investigate the solutions to x^2=1 (mod pq), where p,q are distinct odd primes. (a) Show that if p is an odd prime, then there are exactly two solutions (mod p) to x^2=1 (mod p). (Hint: difference of two squares) (b) Find all pairs...

Nevermind, I figured it out.

I figured out that for a its if and only if the number of digits is a multiple of d, where d divides b-1. For b, would it just be if and only if the alternating sum comes out to a multiple of d, where d divides b+1?

Well for b=1 then \alpha will be positive so \beta will have to be the negative of \alpha The opposite is true for b=-1, \alpha will be negative and \beta is going to be the positive of that number...

For 3 part a, additive order of a modulo n is defined to be the smallest positive integer m that satisfies the congruence equation m*a \cong 0 (mod n). So in this case it'd be better to write a modulo n as m*a \cong 0 (mod n). m would be our additive order which means since n=78 our m=78/a?

I am not really sure what you are getting at.

that ax gives us a number equal to the equivalence class [0], i.e. divisible by 78

That is the problem, I haven't been able to find one in the book or in my notes.

So for question 1. [0] can occur because 2^{2}+2^{2}= 0 mod 4. [1] can occur because 2^{2}+1^{2}= 1 mod 4. Is [3] the only one that can not occur? As for question 2a, I went through and squared all numbers from 1 to 20, the only options...
