Quadratic Residues
Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problems.
Fix a positive integer a We say that a is a quadratic residue modulo n if there exists x such that a = x^2 mod n.
(a) Let n be an odd prime and a be a non-zero quadratic residue modulo n. Show that there are exactly two values in{O.1....,n-1} satisfying x^2=amodn.
(b) Show that if a is an odd prime, there are exactly (n + 1)/2 quadratic residues in {0, 1...., n - 1).
(c) Give an example of positive integers a, n such that....
