Problem 1 — Rings & Fields

A ring is a non-empty set with two operations ++ and ⋅⋅ such that:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. (R,+) is a group; (R,⋅) is a group(R,+) is a group; (R,⋅) is a group
  2. B. (R,+) is a group; ⋅ is associative(R,+) is a group; ⋅ is associative
  3. C. (R,+) is an abelian group; ⋅ is associative; ⋅ distributes over +(R,+) is an abelian group; ⋅ is associative; ⋅ distributes over +✓ correct
  4. D. (R,+) is a monoid; ⋅ is commutative(R,+) is a monoid; ⋅ is commutative

A ring: abelian group under ++, associative ⋅⋅, and distributivity of ⋅⋅ over ++. (Some definitions also require a multiplicative identity.)

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. 55
  2. B. 11
  3. C. −3−3
  4. D. 22✓ correct
  5. E. 66
  6. F. 00

∙∙ Recognise a binomial square:

sin⁡47°+2sin⁡27°cos⁡27°+cos⁡47°=(sin⁡27°+cos⁡27°)2sin47°+2sin27°cos27°+cos47°=(sin27°+cos27°)2

∙∙ Pythagoras kills the angle:

(sin⁡27°+cos⁡27°)2=1(sin27°+cos27°)2=1

∙∙ Evaluate the limit:

lim⁡x→0sin⁡5xx=5x→0lim​xsin5x​=5

∙∙ Decode the log:

log⁡749=21/2=4log7​​49=1/22​=4

∙∙ Combine:

1+5−4=21+5−4=2

Problem 5 — Groups

By Lagrange's theorem, in a finite group GG:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. the order of every element equals ∣G∣the order of every element equals ∣G∣
  2. B. the order of every element divides ∣G∣the order of every element divides ∣G∣✓ correct
  3. C. the order of every element is primethe order of every element is prime
  4. D. the order of every element equals the order of every otherthe order of every element equals the order of every other

Lagrange: in a finite group, the order of any subgroup (and hence the order of any element, which is the order of the cyclic subgroup it generates) divides ∣G∣∣G∣.

Problem 6 — Rings & Fields

Z5Z5​ is:

Show answer & worked solution
  1. A. a ring but not a field (has zero divisors)a ring but not a field (has zero divisors)
  2. B. a non-commutative ringa non-commutative ring
  3. C. a fielda field✓ correct
  4. D. only an abelian grouponly an abelian group

55 is prime, so Z5Z5​ is a field. (Every non-zero element has a multiplicative inverse.)

  3. C. 4774​
  4. D. 7447​
  5. E. 00
  6. F. −17−71​

∙∙ Evaluate every entry:

cos⁡60°=sin⁡30°=12, tan⁡45°=1, log⁡24=2cos60°=sin30°=21​, tan45°=1, log2​4=2

∙∙ The matrix becomes:

A=(1/2121/2)A=(1/22​11/2​)

∙∙ Compute the determinant:

det⁡A=14−2=−74detA=41​−2=−47​

∙∙ Apply det⁡(A−1)=1/det⁡Adet(A−1)=1/detA:

det⁡(A−1)=−47det(A−1)=−74​
