A list of six positive integers, p, q, r, s, t, u satisfies p < q < r < s < t < u. There are exactly 15 pairs of numbers that can be formed by choosing two different numbers from this list. The sums of these 15 pairs of numbers are: 25, 30, 38, 41, 49, 52, 54, 63, 68, 76, 79, 90, 95, 103, 117. Which sum equals r + s?

'Find all conjugacy classes and their sizes in Z3XA4'. The posted solutions to this question are vague and lacking details and I cannot follow what was done. There is no full explanation how to do this problem and I do not understand how to even start. I do not want the solution. I want to understand how to do this problem.

Please start by defining Z3 and A4. Then please go step by step through this problem as if explaining to a simpleton.  

Thank you.

Let (F, <) be an ordered field, let S be a nonempty subset of F, let c ∈ F, and for purposes of this problem let cS = {cx | x ∈ S}. (Do not use this notation outside this problem without defining what you mean by the notation.) Assume that c > 0.

  1. (i) Show that an element b ∈ F is an upper bound for S if and only if cb is an upper bound for cS.

    (ii) Show that S has a least upper bound if and only if cS has a least upper bound, and that (when these sets have least upper bounds), they are related by

    l.u.b.(cS) = c · l.u.b.(S).

(a) Consider the function f(x)=(ex −1)/x.

Use l’Hˆopital’s rule to show that lim f(x) = 1 when x approaches 0

(b) Check this result empirically by writing a program to compute f(x) for x = 10−k, k = 1,...,15. Do your results agree with theoretical expectations? Explain why.

(c) Perform the experiment in part b again, this time using the mathematically equivalent formulation, f(x)=(ex −1)/log(ex), evaluated as indicated, with no simplification. If this works any better, can you explain why?

Please ignore the programming part. I am interested in knowing why this happens.

to Bob. Assume that

  • the block cipher is used in ECB mode,

  • the English is divided into plaintext blocks of 2 letters (ignore spaces and punctuation)

  • the ciphertext blocks are denoted C1,C2,...,C23

    (a) Write down the 23 plaintext blocks.
    (b) Will any of the ciphertext blocks be repeated? If so, which ones?
    (c) Suppose an attacker manipulates the ciphertext so that instead of receiving C1,C2,...,C23.

    Bob receives

C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C10, C11, C6, C7, C8, C9, C12, C13, C14, C15, C16, C17, C6, C7, C20, C21, C22, C23

What does Bob think the message Alice sent is? (add spaces and punctuation)

(d) If Bob receives

C10, C8, C6, C17, C6, C7, C20, C21, C22, C23
what does he think the message is? (add spaces and punctuation)

(e) Find another sequence of ciphertext blocks that decrypts to a plausible plaintext sentence of at least five words (add spaces and punctuation to your sentence).

Find the straight line distance from Glassboro, nj to New Delhi, India. Use the assumptions given in Problem 75 of Section 12.7 (p. 684). You must use spherical coordinates. You will need to look up the coordinates of the two cities.

Glassboro, NJ Coordinates: (39.7029° N, 75.1118° W)

New Delhi, India Coordinates: (28.6139° N, 77.2090° E)

Problem 75 of section 12.7 states:

Consider a rectangular coordinate system with its origin at the center of the earth, z-axis through the north pole, and x-axis through the prime meridian. Find the rectangular coordinates of Sydney Australia (34 S, 151 E), and Bogota Columbia (4 32' N, 74 15 ' W). A minute is 1/60 degrees. Assume that the earth is a sphere of radius R = 6370 km.
