(a) The multiplicative inverse of 1234 (mod 4321) is x so that 1234*x ≡ 1 (mod 4321). We can apply Euclid's algorithm:
4321 = 1234 * 3 + 619
1234 = 619 * 1 + 615
619 = 615 * 1 + 4
615 = 4 * 153 + 3
4 = 3 * 1 + 1
Now we will express 1 as a linear combination of 4321 and 1234:
1 = 4 - 3
1 = 4 - (615 - 4 * 153) = 4 * 154 - 615
1 = 619 * 154 - 155 * (1234 - 619) = 619 * 309 - 155 * 1234
1 = (4321 - 1234 * 3) * 309 - 155 * 1234 = 4321 * 309 - 1082 * 1234
This reduces to
1 ≡ -1082 * 1234 (mod 4321)
Thus, the inverse is
-1082 ≡ 3239 (mod 4321)
(b) Since both 24140 and 40902 are even, their GCD cannot equal 1, indicating no inverse exists.
The given details include: Height of the rectangular prism, h = 3 units, Surface area of the prism, A = 52 sq units. We need to determine the volume of the prism. The volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula: l = length and b = breadth. Given that the surface area of the prism, A = lb, we have it equal to 52 sq units. Consequently, the volume is 156 cubic units.
Let the events be defined as follows:
A=Nathan suffers from an allergy
~A=Nathan does not suffer from an allergy
T=Nathan receives a positive test result
~T=Nathan does not receive a positive test result
According to the provided data,
P(A)=0.75 [ probability indicating that Nathan is allergic ]
P(T|A)=0.98 [ probability of obtaining a positive test result if Nathan is allergic to Penicillin]
We aim to calculate the probability that Nathan is both allergic and tests positive
P(T n A)
Using the definition of conditional probability,
P(T|A)=P(T n A)/P(A)
By substituting the known values,
0.98 = P(T n A) / 0.75
We then solve for P(T n A)
P(T n A) = 0.75*0.98 = 0.735
Hope this assists you!!
