i know S = { $$1 , x, x^2$$} is linearly dependent set for p2. where $$(a_0, a_1, a_2) = (0,0,0) $$
I wanted to use the Wronskian on { $$1 , x, x^2, x^3$$} , but as I understand, it only proves linear independence and not the converse.

Hi delgeezee!

Can you elaborate?
For starters, what do you mean by p2?
And how do your $a_i$ tie in?
 
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##...
