If we wanted to find the value of a definite integral with an infinite limit, we can instead replace the infinite limit with a variable, and then take the limit as this variable goes to _________.
constant
finite
infinity
zeroWe will replace the infinity with a variable (usually t ), do the integral and then take the limit of the result as t goes to infinity. On a side note, notice that the area under a curve on an infinite interval was not infinity as we might have suspected it to be. In fact, it was a surprisingly small number.

The determinant of a diagonal matrix is the product of the diagonal elements.
TrueThe determinant of a lower triangular matrix (or an upper triangular matrix) is the product of the diagonal entries. In particular, the determinant of a diagonal matrix is the product of the diagonal entries.

True
FalseEigenvalues and Eigenvectors of a 3 by 3 matrix. … The picture is more complicated, but as in the 2 by 2 case, our best insights come from finding the matrix’s eigenvectors: that is, those vectors whose direction the transformation leaves unchanged.

The Gauss-Seidel method is applicable to strictly diagonally dominant or symmetric positive definite matrices A.
True
FalseExplanation: Gauss-Seidel method is applicable to strictly diagonally dominant or symmetric positive definite matrices because only in this case convergence is possible. 7. Gauss seidal requires less number of iterations than Jacobi’s method. … Gauss-seidal is used for solving system of linear equations.
-
The determinant of a _______ matrix is the product of the diagonal elements.
- diagonal
- upper triangular
- lower triangular
- scalar
By linearity then, the determinant of AB is the product of the diagonal elements of A times the determinant of B, that is, it is the product of the determinant of A and that of B, as we have claimed. and we will have det A = det A’ , and det AB = det A’B.

Eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix are all _________.
- real
- zero
- positive
- negative
In linear algebra, a symmetric matrix is a square matrix that is equal to its transpose. Formally, … geometry, for each tangent space to a manifold may be endowed with an inner product, giving rise to what is called a Riemannian manifold. … Every real symmetric matrix is Hermitian, and therefore all its eigenvalues are real.
-
The Power method can be used only to find the eigenvalue of A that is largest in absolute value—we call this eigenvalue the dominant eigenvalue of A
True
FalseFor large values of n, polynomial equations like this one are difficult and time-consuming to solve. Moreover, numerical techniques for approximating roots of polynomial equations of high degree are sensitive to rounding errors. In this section we look at an alternative method for approximating eigenvalues. As presented here, the method can be used only to find the eigenvalue of A that is largest in absolute value—we call this eigenvalue the dominant eigenvalue of A. Although this restriction may seem severe, dominant eigenval- ues are of primary interest in many physical applications.

The Jacobi’s method is a method of solving a matrix equation on a matrix that has no zeros along its main diagonal.
True
FalseJacobi Method.
The Jacobi method is a method of solving a matrix equation on a matrix that has no zeros along its main diagonal (Bronshtein and Semendyayev 1997, p. … Each diagonal element is solved for, and an approximate value plugged in. The process is then iterated until it converges. -
The characteristics polynomial of a 3x 3 identity matrix is __________, if x is the eigen values of the given 3 x 3 identity matrix. where symbol ^ shows power.
- (x-1)^3
- (x+1)^3
- x^3-1
- x^3+1
-
For differences methods we require the set of values.
True
FalseMethod of Differences. The method of finite differences gives us a way to calculate a polynomial using its values at several consecutive points. This is often a good approach to finding the general term in a pattern, if we suspect that it follows a polynomial form.

Central difference method seems to be giving a better approximation, however it requires more computations.
True
FalseNumerical method. In numerical analysis, a numerical method is a mathematical tool designed to solve numerical problems. The implementation of a numerical method with an appropriate convergence check in a programming language is called a numerical algorithm.
