Mathematics
Question: What is the derivative of sin(x)?
Answer: The derivative of sin(x) is cos(x).
Question: Define the term ‘Eigenvalue’ in linear algebra.
Answer: An Eigenvalue is a scalar associated with a linear transformation that satisfies the equation Av=λvA \mathbf{v} = \lambda \mathbf{v}.
Question: What is the general solution of the differential equation dydx=y\frac{dy}{dx} = y?
Answer: The general solution is y=Cexy = Ce^x, where CC is a constant.
Question: What is the integral of 1/x1/x?
Answer: The integral of 1/x1/x is ln∣x∣+C\ln|x| + C.
Question: Define the term ‘Vector Space’.
Answer: A vector space is a set of vectors where vector addition and scalar multiplication are defined, following specific axioms.
Question: What is the result of limx→0sin(x)/x\lim_{x \to 0} \sin(x)/x?
Answer: The limit limx→0sin(x)/x\lim_{x \to 0} \sin(x)/x equals 1.
Question: What is a symmetric matrix?
Answer: A symmetric matrix is a square matrix that is equal to its transpose.
Question: Define the term ‘Probability’.
Answer: Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, ranging between 0 and 1.
Question: State the Pythagorean theorem.
Answer: The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where cc is the hypotenuse.
Question: What is the Laplace transform of eate^{at}?
Answer: The Laplace transform of eate^{at} is 1s−a\frac{1}{s – a}.
Question: Define a ‘Prime Number’.
Answer: A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
Question: What is the Taylor series expansion of exe^x?
Answer: The Taylor series expansion of exe^x is 1+x+x2/2!+x3/3!+…1 + x + x^2/2! + x^3/3! + \ldots.
Question: What is the standard deviation?
Answer: The standard deviation measures the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values.
Question: State the Mean Value Theorem.
Answer: The Mean Value Theorem states that for a continuous function ff, there exists a cc in (a,b)(a, b) such that f′(c)=f(b)−f(a)b−af'(c) = \frac{f(b) – f(a)}{b – a}.
Question: What is the determinant of a 2×2 matrix [abcd]\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}?
Answer: The determinant is ad−bcad – bc.
Question: What is the sum of an arithmetic progression?
Answer: The sum is Sn=n2(a+l)S_n = \frac{n}{2} (a + l), where aa is the first term, ll is the last term, and nn is the number of terms.
Question: What does it mean for a function to be continuous?
Answer: A function is continuous if it is defined at a point, its limit exists at that point, and the function’s value equals its limit.
Question: What is the difference between a scalar and a vector?
Answer: A scalar is a quantity with only magnitude, while a vector has both magnitude and direction.
Question: What is the area of a circle?
Answer: The area of a circle is πr2\pi r^2, where rr is the radius.
