Find all polynomials `P(x)` such that: `P(x-1).P(x+1)=P(x^2-1)`
Solution
Suppose that `\alpha` is a root of `P(x)` then, `P(\alpha)=0`
Therefore, `P((\alpha+1)-1)=0`
Find all polynomials `P(x)` such that: `P(x-1).P(x+1)=P(x^2-1)`
Solution
Suppose that `\alpha` is a root of `P(x)` then, `P(\alpha)=0`
Therefore, `P((\alpha+1)-1)=0`
Find the last two digits of : `N=(1!+2!+3!+.......+101!)^101`
Note: This is equivalent to finding `N(mod11)`.
ie: The remainder when dividing `N` by `100`.
Observation: `10!\equiv0(mod100)` Because, `10!=10...5...2`
Therefore, `N\equiv(1!+2!+3!+......+9!)^101(mod100)`
`N\equiv(1+2+6+24+20+20+40+20+80)^101(mod100)`
`N\equiv13^101(mod100)`
