What is the determinant of the matrix [[3, 1], [2, 4]]?
Answer: 10
det = (3)(4) - (1)(2) = 12 - 2 = 10.
A function f(x) = 3x³ - 6x² + 2x - 5. What is f'(x)?
Answer: 9x² - 12x + 2
Differentiating term by term: 9x² - 12x + 2.
What is the Laplace transform of f(t) = e^(2t)?
Answer: 1/(s-2)
L{e^(at)} = 1/(s - a), so L{e^(2t)} = 1/(s - 2).
Which of the following is the general solution to dy/dx = ky?
Answer: y = Ce^(kx)
Separating variables and integrating gives y = Ce^(kx).
The eigenvalues of the matrix [[5, 0], [0, 3]] are:
Answer: 5 and 3
A diagonal matrix has eigenvalues equal to its diagonal entries.
Evaluate the integral ∫₀^π sin(x) dx.
Answer: 2
∫₀^π sin(x) dx = [-cos(x)]₀^π = -cos(π) + cos(0) = 1 + 1 = 2.
A geometric series has first term a = 4 and common ratio r = 0.5. What is the sum to infinity?
Answer: 8
S∞ = a/(1 - r) = 4/(1 - 0.5) = 4/0.5 = 8.
