prove that \(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{n^{(n-1)}+5~\mod (n+1)\equiv 4,6\\~\\\normalsize\text{ for }\\n>5\hspace{.33em}\\~\\}\end{align}\)

\(\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n=-1 mod n+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\( n^{(n-1)}+5 \mod (n+1) \equiv (-1)^{(n-1)}+5\mod (n+1) \\ \text {when n is odd then}\\ n^{(n-1)}+5 \mod (n+1) \equiv 1+5\mod (n+1) \equiv 6\mod (n+1) \\ \text {when n is even then}\\ n^{(n-1)}+5 \mod (n+1) \equiv -1+5\mod (n+1) \equiv 4\mod (n+1) \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh hehe

Nnesha (nnesha):

again mod......... ^.^ >,<

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're familiar with mods @Nnesha

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

lol how u got that \(\huge (-1)^{n+1}\) @Marki

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[n \equiv -1 \pmod {n+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n+1=0 mod n+1 n=-1 mod n+1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

take (n-1) power both sides

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[n \equiv -1 \pmod {n+1}\] \[n^{n-1} \equiv (-1)^{n-1} \pmod {n+1}\]

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

oh i see O-0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wanna see ur method then @mathmath333

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we have this : \[a\equiv b \pmod{n} \implies a^k \equiv b^k \pmod{n}\]

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

lol it was unsolved by me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh :O

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes i know few mods here is a list ganeshie8 iambatman abhisar hero zarkon tk ...................................... but i never used this mod word <-- in math

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

this mod is much friendlier than the ones you listed above ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for starting, think of "mod" as another fancy name for "remainder"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

3 mod 10 evaluates to 1 because 10/3 leaves a remainder 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ur cool with it now ? @mathmath333 ? and this condition n>5 to show 5=5 mod k for any k >5 and n+1>5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if you can work below : 12 mod 5 = ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

okay wait :)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yea i m kind of cool guy :) it thought this question was harder lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thught its tough for first sight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok , have to go Cya !

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope!!!|dw:1421501751040:dw|
