Hi, I need to learn the following proof and I'm having trouble getting my head round it. Any help would be appreciated.

Show that if vector x in R^n with components x=(x1,x2,...,xn), then
x.Lx=0.5 sum(Aij(xi-xj)^2)
where A is the graphs adjacency matrix, L is laplacian.
Then use this result to prove that the eigen values of L are non-zero for all 1<j<n.

Thanks.

Thread 'Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##'
This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0## using back-substitution, ##1=13-3⋅4## ##=(121-1⋅108)-3(108-8⋅13)## ... ##= 121-(471-3⋅121)-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24(471-3⋅121## ##=121-471+3⋅121-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24⋅471+72⋅121##...
