Did I do this right?

Is there a better way to represent the answer.She wants me to show

work.


   

Question:(7 + 11)(mod 5). To get full credit , show all work.
Good luck!



My answer:

(7+11)(mod5)
7+11=18  18 divided by 5=3 with a remainder of 3 so,
18=3(mod5) and (7+11)=3(mod5)

Is there a point beyond Hex 11 where Hex numbers turn to alphabet again?

Do the hex numbers continue in decimal-line form beyond hex 11?

That is , 12,13,14,...

I would like to learn how to convert from any base to any other base.

I already know how to convert from decimal to any base and from any base to decimal.

My question:

Can I covert between bases by using the decimal base as an intermediary step.

I mean say I have to convert from say base seven to base 5. Can I convert from base seven to base 1o, and then from base 10 to base 5 effectively?

Well yes that because the red is the answer, the other stuff was my re[presentation to the professor as to how I reasoned. Thanks again for the help. It is really appreciated.

#33 Re: Help Me ! » Convert to base 10 » 2007-11-07 09:26:15

Thanks. Ill look into that, but did I get the right answer?

Wait 12 x 25 =300

Your way 22 x 25=550 ???

If my numbers are wrong, how come i got the right answer, and so straightforwardly?

I used this link to get the answer, and then i tried working it out to match the answer:

Hehe! My professor says it's right. I do  not say you are wrong, but I need more elaboration. I mean she could be wrong.

#34 Re: Help Me ! » Convert to base 10 » 2007-11-07 08:27:04

Ok I think I got it:

#35 Re: Help Me ! » Convert to base 10 » 2007-11-07 07:03:22

Oh I just discovered it's base 5. Covert 324 from base 5 to base 10. No idea how to do this. Any help appreciated.

#36 Re: Help Me ! » Convert to base 10 » 2007-11-07 04:41:23

I'll be back. Thaks. Nice guys here. Appreciated.

#38 Re: Help Me ! » Convert to base 10 » 2007-11-07 04:21:42

I think she wants the answer in such a way that the exponents correspond to the digits place in the original number. Hundreds, tens, ones.



Thanks.

#39 Re: Help Me ! » Convert to base 10 » 2007-11-07 04:18:46

Hmm! My instructor has not specified a base for the number 324 which she wants us to convert to base 10 for extra credit.

Please, convert 324 to base 10.


I am assuming this problem involves the following:

324=

3 multiplied by 10 to the 2nd power + 2 multiplied by 10 to the first power + 4 multiplied by 10 to the zero power=324


Sorry , but I cannot get the exponents in here from word. I hope you understand what i mean. Any help appreciated.

#41 Re: Help Me ! » valid or invalid » 2007-10-31 02:43:07

I am totally lost. it appears this question was the only one in my book section that i completely do not munderstand. I still o not know mif it is valid or not. I will have to regroup on this one.

You are a genius.

#42 Re: Help Me ! » valid or invalid » 2007-10-31 01:17:01

This one is killing me because I really do not understand the law of transitivity or how it relates to the validity of an argument. I'll be studying this in depth. I'll be back.

#43 Re: Help Me ! » last one and Ill reply valid or invalid » 2007-10-31 01:14:54

This one actually got me. Heheh. Thanks.

#44 Re: Help Me ! » Rewrite argument. » 2007-10-30 20:47:08

When your under stress things seem more complicated.i got it right though.Thanks.

#45 Re: Help Me ! » Last one for tonight » 2007-10-30 20:45:20

Dangit! I suspected that, but i answered wrong. Argh! i kinda felt that the premises implied the conclusion, but i know the premises must directly support the conclusion. ahhh! Thanks my friend.

#46 Re: Help Me ! » Rewrite argument. » 2007-10-30 18:55:42

Wow! I see the logic now. Funny. Its seemed so vague just a while ago. Man it is amazing how little one can accomplish under stress. Once one relaxes things seem so much plainer.

#47 Re: Help Me ! » valid or invalid » 2007-10-30 18:49:55

I have to regroup tomorrow on this. I'll study transitivity and back here.

#48 Re: Help Me ! » valid or invalid » 2007-10-30 18:48:08

For the contrapositive of q then p :


not q then not p

#49 Re: Help Me ! » Last one for tonight » 2007-10-30 18:44:59

i think it's just one of those typo type things in text books meant to drive the student crazy. I think they meant to write "therefore."

#50 Re: Help Me ! » Rewrite argument. » 2007-10-30 18:43:12

So are you saying that "I get robbed" and "I got robbed" are both representative of "p"?
