For each part of Question 5 in the box provided, indicate whether the given statement is true (T) or false (F).
No justification is required.
1.5 marks will be given for each correct answer.
0.5 marks will be deducted for each incorrect answer.
If you choose not to answer a part (i.e. you leave the box for that part empty), you will receive 0.5
marks for that part.
The minimum mark for this question will be 0.

The remaining questions require you to write proofs. Write clearly and justify your steps.
Do NOT use the amount of space provided as an indication of how long your answer should be.
8. Let p be a prime and a be an integer such that p - a. Consider the two sets
S = {x N | ax 1 (mod p) },
T = {n(p 1) | n N }.
Prove that T S.

x q (mod p)
then x p + q (mod pq).

11. Let c = a + bi be a complex number in standard form, with b , 0, and let f (x) C[x] be a polynomial.
Suppose further that all of the coefficients of f (x) are real numbers. Prove that f (c) = 0 if and only if
(x2 2ax + a2 + b2 ) is a factor of f (x).
