Alice and bob agree to use the prime p = 1373 and the base g = 2 for a diffie–hellman key exchange. alice sends bob the value a = 974. bob asks your assistance, so you tell him to use the secret exponent b = 871. what value b should bob send to alice, and what is their secret shared value? can you figure out alice’s secret exponent?

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

the answer is 1030 it's very simple math.
