2021/038) if n^2+7n+4 is divisible by 11 what is the remainder when divided by 121

 Working in mod 11 we have

n^2+7n + 4 \equiv n^2 + (7-11)n + 4

\equiv n^2 - 4n + 4 \equiv (n-2)^2

so if n^2 + 7n + 4 is divisible by 11 then n-2 is divisible by 11

so n = 11k + 2

So  n^2+7n+4 = (11k+2)^2 + 7(11k+2) + 4

= 121k^2 + 121k + 22

so remainder when divided  by 121 is 22
