An arrow is shot straight up from a cliff 58.8 meters above the ground with an initial velocity of 49 meters per second. Let up

(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 maximum distance visible on Earth is calculated using the formula

= your initial height and = your secondary height

In this case, represents the height of the periscope and denotes the height of the ship, leading us to a distance of 832.45553203368 feet. However, rounding to the nearest mile yields the answer as
