Q1: In modular arithmetic what are the elements of Z 4 or the set of integers
mode 4?
Answer:

Z 4 = { 0, 1,2,3 }
Q2: Consider Z 4 = { 0, 1,2, 3 }. Do the indicated operations

1) 0+1
2) 2+2
3) 3+3
4) 3+3+2
5) 1+3+2
6) 2x2
7) 2x3
8) 3X3
Answer

1) 0+1 = 1
2) 2+2 = 0
3) 3+3 = 2
4) 3+3+2 =0
5) 1+3+2= 2
6) 2 x 2= 0
7) 2x3=2
8) 3X3=1
Q3: Consider R and suppose that an operation * is defined by a*b = ab+b

Find the following:

1) 2* 3
2) 2*1*4
Answer

1. 2*3 = 2(3) +2= 6+2 = 8

2. (2*1)*4= (2(1)+2 )*4
= (2+2)*4
= 4*4
= 4(4) +4
= 20
