$\\ $The modular equation ${2}^{n} \mod 9 \, \forall n \in \mathbb {Z}^{+} $ forms an interesting pattern as such:$ \\ {2}^{1} \mod 9 = {2}^{7} \mod 9 = \dots = 2 \\ {2}^{2} \mod 9 = {2}^{8} \mod 9 = \dots = 4 \\ {2}^{3} \mod 9 = {2}^{9} \mod 9 = \dots = 8 \\ {2}^{4} \mod 9 = {2}^{10} \mod 9 = \dots = 7 \\ {2}^{5} \mod 9 = {2}^{11} \mod 9 = \dots = 5 \\ {2}^{6} \mod 9 = {2}^{12} \mod 9 = \dots = 1$

Is there a mathematical method to prove this pattern?

$\noindent Yeah, this is just because $2^6$ is congruent to 1 modulo 9.$

Euler's Theorem and Fermat's Little Theorem. You should learn those, for number theory.

$\\ $Find all $n \in \mathbb N $ such that $\sqrt{n} + \sqrt{n+253} $is a natural number.$

With a hint: To use difference of two squares.

$\noindent If we rationalise the numerator and apply difference of two squares, it becomes $\frac{-253}{\sqrt{n}-\sqrt{n+253}}=\frac{253}{\sqrt{n+253}-\sqrt{n}}$. Note that the denominator is monotone decreasing with limit 0. So for this to be a natural number, we need the denominator here to be a factor of 253. The factors of 253 are: $1,11,23,253$. So we can set the denominator equal to each of these and then solve for $n$ and just take the ones that have a natural number solution for $n$.$

Ah ok yep. That makes better sense than these answers. But mind interpreting them for me?

My brain isn't really working right now.

(Note: These answers appear as though they assume not even much prelim maths has been covered either)

Can't I post questions here aswell

?

Is this a one-stop place where I can ask any maths question I like, without making a new thread each time I do?

leehuan · Jan 31, 2016

Wow guys this is my SOS thread for when I need help

Ok no problem, I just thought everyone posts their maths problems here and you just help out whenever.

Haha I think this was an SOS thread. And in your question, did you mean sinh and cosh? These have LaTeX codes too, just write like \sinh and \cosh.

I tried that it didn't work? Anyways how would you do the question? $\sinh{x}$

Just write the hyperbolic functions in the exponential form.

Haha it worked this time. And you should probably post that question in the extracurricular integration thread so that we don't derail this thread.

The first part is easy but the second how can we get it in that form we can't multiply integrals.
