Cryptography is a study of coding and decoding messages. One type of coding process assigns a number to each letter of the alphabet and to the space character. For example:
A B C C D D E F space
According to the numbers assigned to each letter, the message "Decimals have a point" would be coded as follow:
DECIMALS HAVE
I T
Now suppose each letter is encoded by applying a function such as where is the numerical value of each letter. For example:
The letter a will be coded as:
The letter will be coded as:
Using this encoding function we have:
Using this encoding function we have:
Message: D E C I M A L S H A V I T
Original:
Coded form:
To decode this message, the receiver would need to reverse the operations assigned by since the function multiplies by and then add we can reverse this process
by subtracting and then dividing by This is represented by:
Encode your first and last name according to the function use space between your Kelsy Melgarejo.
Give the formula for decoding the message above
