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).

[ \left|\frac3n+12n+5 - \frac32\right| = \left|\frac2(3n+1) - 3(2n+5)2(2n+5)\right| = \left|\frac-132(2n+5)\right| = \frac132(2n+5) < \frac134n ] Given (\varepsilon>0), choose (N > \frac134\varepsilon). Then for (n\ge N), (\frac134n<\varepsilon), so the difference (<\varepsilon). QED. Chapter 10 – Continuity and Limits Exercise 10.4 Show (f(x)=x^2) is continuous at (x=2).

(x^2 < 1 \Rightarrow x^2 -1 < 0 \Rightarrow (x-1)(x+1) < 0). Product negative iff one factor positive, the other negative. Case 1: (x-1<0) and (x+1>0) → (x<1) and (x>-1) → (-1<x<1). Case 2: (x-1>0) and (x+1<0) impossible (would require (x>1) and (x<-1)). Thus (-1<x<1). Inverse of 3 mod 11: (3\times 4 =

Case 1: first digit odd (4 choices: 1,3,5,7,9? Actually 5 odds, but careful: first digit ≠0, so even allowed but handled separately). Better systematic: Choose positions for the two even digits: (\binom42=6) ways. Chapter 4 – Real Numbers Exercise 4
