Part 1

  1. Write down + and * tables for Z_4
  2. Evaluate 2*(3*2+1) in Z_4
  3. Recall that "-x" denotes the additive inverse of x. For each element of Z_4 write its additive inverse (or N/A if it doesn't exist).
    	    x | -x
    	    ------
    	    0 |
    	    1 |
    	    2 |
    	    3 |	  
  4. Evaluate 3 - (-1 + 2*3) in Z_4
  5. Can (x - 1) + 3 = 0 be solved in Z_4?
  6. Recall what the multiplicative inverse is. We will denote the multiplicative inverse of $x$ as $x^{-1}$. For each element of Z_4 write its multiplicative inverse
    	    x | x^(-1)
    	    ---------
    	    0 |
    	    1 |
    	    2 |
    	    3 |	  
  7. Does 2 x + 1 = 0 have a solution in in Z_4?
