Answer at least 8 problems. There are 10 points for each problem.
Find a formula that describes all primitive Pythagorean triples (a, b, c) with
the property that
c=a+2.
Let p be a prime number such that p is not a factor of 10. Let A be some given
natural number such that p is a factor of (A2 5). Show that p is
congruent to either 1 or 4 modulo 5.
For each congruence determine whether there is a solution,
(i)
x² =
10 (mod 1009). It is known 1009 is a prime number.
(ii)
x² + X+1 = 0 (mod 37)
4. Compute the Jacobi symbol of 172 modulo 37603.

For each of the following numbers m, either write m as a sum of two squares
or explain why it is not possible to do so.
(a) 122 (b) 123 (c) 124 (d) 130 (e) 180
6. Find a formula to describe all the points on the circle

whose coordinates are rational numbers. Note that (-1,1) lies on this circle.
Consider the Pell's equation X²
11 Y² = 1.
A solution is X = 10, Y = 3. Determine two more solutions in natural numbers
How many solutions in natural numbers are there? Explain
8. Let P be a prime number. Suppose R is a primitive root modulo P.
(i) What's the order of the unit R modulo P?
(ii) What's the order of the unit R² modulo P?
