Independent and Dependent Variables

In a typical algebraic expression, there are two variables: an independent variable and a dependent variable. The independent variable is the number or the value that can change. The dependent variable's value depends on the value of the independent variable. For example, in the following formula, X=Y*5 Y is the independent ...continues

Determine whether the given mapping is an isomorphism between the given binary structures. If not, explain why and given a counter-example.

Determine whether the mapping phi: Z -> Z which is defined by phi(n) = n + 1 is an isomorphism from the binary structure (Z, +) to the binary structure (Z, +). If not, explain why and give a counter-example.

Arithmetic Sequence

I am trying to determine and prove the general law for the following sequence: I would like to express it in notation. 1+2=3 4+5+6=7+8 9+10+11+12=13+14+15 16+17+18+19+20=21+22+23+24

Logic : Finding a lighter or heavier ball out of 12 balls, with only three weighings allowed

You have 12 balls out of which one is odd ie lighter or heavier than others. You can't identify the odd ball just by looking at it. So, how you would find out the ball, using the weighing scale and maximum weighings allowed are three only?

Congruences : Binomial Formula and Common Factors

Is 5^((10^5)^(10^5)^(10^5)) congruent to 1(mod 11)? I know this answer is yes but do not know how to prove this. Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problems.
