Original question and givens

Use odd prime p=13, original a=12, normalized nonzero class. Give (prime, normalized_class, classification, nonzero_roots, Legendre_symbol, signed_power, equal, certificate).

  • G001 — Use odd prime p=13, original a=12, normalized nonzero class. Give (prime, normalized_class, classification, nonzero_roots, Legendre_symbol, signed_power, equal, certificate).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
