A simple pendulum and its period in different planets

When the mass is moved a small distance away from its equilibrium point (the bottom of the arc), the mass will swing back and forth in a constant amount of time called the period. One period is the amount of time required for the mass to swing all the way to the other side and then swing back to its staring point. we are maki ...continues

Algebraic Number Theory

Problem 1: Prove that there are no integers x, y, and z such that x^2 +y^2 + z^2 = 999 Problem 2: Show that square root of 2 cubed is an irrational number. Problem 3: For each of the following pairs a and b, use the division algorithm to find quotient q and remainder r. (a) b=189, a=17 ...continues

Induction proof

Need detailed instruction on how to work Use mathematical induction to prove that : 1*2+2*3+3*4+....+n(n+1)(n+2)/3 for all n >_1 and (2) Find d=gcd (721 , 448), find integers s and t with d=721s + 448t, and put the fraction 448/721 in lowest terms.

Remainder and factorization

(1) What is the remainder after dividing 10^2006 by 7? and (2) Use factorizations into primes to find gcd (105, 30) and lcm (105, 30)?

Homomorphism and First Isomorphism Theorem

Let R>0 be the group of positive real numbers under multiplication. Let CX be the group of nonzero complex numbers under mu!tiplication. Let S1 = {a + bi such that a^2 + b^2 = 1) be the subgroup of C consisting of all complex numbers of absolute value 1. Note that is normal in Cx since Cx is abelian. Prove that CX/S1 is isomorph ...continues

Congruences and Primes

Prove that is p is prime, we have: n choose m is congruent to [floor(n/p) choose floor(m/p)]*[(n mod p) choose (m mod p)] (mod p) Hint: show that (1+x)^(pq+r) is congruent to (1+x)^r * (1+x^p)^q (mod p) If you can point me to a book or website explaining how to do this type of problem, and give a sketch of the proof, ...continues
