The set of residue classes modulo 5 is equipped with the usual operations of multiplication and addition of residue classes. If we denote -a for the additive inverse of element a with respect to addition, and a^-1 for the multiplicative inverse of element a with respect to multiplication, then the following holds: (a) 2^-1 + (-3) = 4 (b) (-4) * 4 = 4 (c) 3 + 3^-1 = 1 (d) (-1) * 1 = 0 (e) (-2) * 4^-1 = 3.

For some of the most interesting laws of modular arithmetic (Choose some of your liking, but do include rules (vi) and (vii) ) , write down a similar rule for the MOD n-function and for classes of ZnZn.
The number 0.60 is rational and can be represented in finitely many digits in decimal a. can it be represented by finetly many bits in binary? explain why or why not. b. if it can be done in finitely many bits, give its exact binary representation. if not, give the first ten bits of the approxijmate representation. c. give an upper bound on absolute error in this representation.
When we work with a congruence class, we have to keep two key things in mind. First, we have to know what “n” is in the Zn. This is similar to the base referred to above. When we work with Z3,for example, we are splitting the integers (all of them) into three “classes” by talking about those that are congruent to 0, 1, and 2 (mod 3). If you remember, the integers that are congruent to 0 are -6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 0….. What do you notice about those? Which ones are congruent to 1? What do they have in common? (And so on.) What you need to notice about these, for now, is that they partition the integers into disjoint subsets. (Do you see that?) The other thing you’ll be doing in Section 2.6 is learning to do simple arithmetic with these congruence classes and even solving some simple “equations.” This is a really simple one, but if we take [1] + [2] in our example above does it make sense that we end up with [0]? Can you explain why that happens?
