Choose 2 positions for evens: (\binom42=6). Fill evens: (5^2) ways (0–8 evens). Fill odds: (5^2) ways. Total = (6 \times 25 \times 25 = 3750).
Let remainder be (ax+b). Write (x^100 = (x^2-1)Q(x) + ax+b). Set (x=1): (1 = a+b). Set (x=-1): (1 = -a+b). Solve: adding → (2=2b \Rightarrow b=1,\ a=0). Remainder = 1. Chapter 7 – Relations and Functions Exercise 7.2 Define relation (R) on (\mathbbZ) by (aRb) if (a-b) is even. Prove (R) is an equivalence relation.

Find all cube roots of (-8).
Inverse of 3 mod 11: (3\times 4 = 12\equiv 1), so inverse is 4. Multiply both sides by 4: (x \equiv 20 \equiv 9 \pmod11). Check: (3\times 9=27\equiv 5) ✓. Chapter 4 – Real Numbers Exercise 4.1 Prove: if (x) is real and (x^2 < 1), then (-1 < x < 1). Choose 2 positions for evens: (\binom42=6)
