Hello! (Wave)

I am looking at the follwong exercise:

Notice that the multiplicative group $\mathbb{Z}^{*}_{10} \times \mathbb{Z}^{*}_{22}$ is cyclic and consider its generator $([a]_{10},_{22})$ with the lowest possible positive integers $a$ and $b$. Let $([a]_{10},_{22})^{33}=([c]_{10},[d]_{22}), 1 \leq c \leq 10, 1<d<22$.Which is the value of $11c-5d$ ?

$$\mathbb{Z}^{*}_{10}= \{ 1,3,7,9\}$$
$$[3]^1=[3],[3]^2=[9],[3]^3=[27]=[7], [3]^4=[3]^3 \cdot [3]=[7 \cdot 3]=[1] \checkmark $$
$$\text{So, } a=3$$

$$\mathbb{Z}^{*}_{22}= \{ 1,3,5,7,9,13,15,17,19,21\}$$

$$[3]^1=[3], [3]^2=[9], [3]^3=[27]=[6] \times$$

$$[5]^1=[5], [5]^2=[25]=[3] , [5]^3=[5]^2 \cdot [5]=[15], [5]^4=[15 \cdot 5]=[75]=[9] , [5]^5=[9 \cdot 5]=[45]=[1] , [5]^6=[5] \times $$

$$[7]^1=[7], [7]^2=[49]=[5], [7]^3=[5 \cdot 7]=[35]=[13], [7]^4=[13 \cdot 7]=[91]=[3], [7]^5=[3 \cdot 7]=[21], [7]^5=[21 \cdot 7]=[147]=[15], [7]^6=[15 \cdot 7]=[17], [7]^7=[17 \cdot 7]=[9], [7]^8=[9 \cdot 7]=[19], [7]^9=[19 \cdot 7]=[1] \checkmark $$

$$b=7$$

$$([3]_{10},[7]_{22})^{33}=([c]_{10}, [d]_{22}) \Rightarrow ([c]_{10}, [d]_{22})=([3^{33}]_{10},[7^{33}]_{22})$$

$(3,10)=1, \phi(10)=\phi(2 \cdot 5)=10(1-\frac{1}{2})(1-\frac{1}{5})=10 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{4}{5}=4$

$$\text{ So from Euler's Theorem: } 3^4 \equiv 1 \pmod{10}$$

$$3^{33} \equiv 3^{4 \cdot 8+1} \equiv (3^4)^8 \cdot 3 \equiv 3 \pmod{10}$$

$(7,22)=1 , \phi(22)=\phi(2 \cdot 11)=22(1-\frac{1}{2})(1-\frac{1}{11})=10$

$\text{ So,from Euler's Theorem: } 7^{10} \equiv 1 \pmod{ 22 }$

$$7^{33} \equiv 7^{3 \cdot 10+3} \equiv (7^{10})^3 \cdot 7^3 \equiv 13 \pmod{22}$$

$$ \text{ We conclude that: } [c]_{10}=[3]_{10} \text{ and } [d]_{22}=[13]_{22} \Rightarrow c=3+10k, k \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } d=13+22l, l \in \mathbb{Z} \Rightarrow c=3, d=13$$

Therefore, $11c-5d=11 \cdot 3-5 \cdot 13=33-65=-32$

Could you tell me if it is right? (Thinking)(Thinking)

Hi! (Happy)

It is right! (Sun)

If you're interested, I have a little optimization for you.
You want to find out if $[7]_{22}$ has order $10$.
To do so, it suffices to verify $[7]_{22}^2$ and $[7]_{22}^5$.
If both are different from $1$, the order of $[7]_{22}$ is $10$. (Nerd)

Why does it suffice to verify that $[7]_{22}^2$ and $[7]_{22}^5$ are different from $1$,in order to show that the order of $[7]_{22}$ is $10$? (Thinking)(Thinking)

The order of $\mathbb Z_{22}$ is $\phi(22)=10$.
That means that the order of $[7]$ must divide $10$ (known as a consequence of Lagrange's theorem). (Wasntme)
If we can be sure that it isn't $2$ or $5$, it must be $10$.

I understand...thank you very much! (Smile)
 
##\textbf{Exercise 10}:## I came across the following solution online: Questions: 1. When the author states in "that ring (not sure if he is referring to ##R## or ##R/\mathfrak{p}##, but I am guessing the later) ##x_n x_{n+1}=0## for all odd $n$ and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible, so that ##x_n=0##" 2. How does ##x_nx_{n+1}=0## implies that ##x_{n+1}## is invertible and ##x_n=0##. I mean if the quotient ring ##R/\mathfrak{p}## is an integral domain, and ##x_{n+1}## is invertible then...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##?
