Diverge
Converge

Diverge

Explanation:

• Indefinite Integral: This represents a family of functions whose derivatives are the integrand. While the concept of convergence and divergence more commonly applies to definite integrals, the idea of divergence can apply to indefinite integrals in the context of improper integrals or when dealing with limits.

• Diverge: An integral (definite or indefinite) is said to diverge if it does not converge to a finite value. In the context of indefinite integrals, divergence can occur if the integral involves terms or functions that lead to an unbounded result.

Thus, an indefinite integral may diverge if the limits involved lead to an unbounded or non-existent result.

So, the correct option is:

Diverge

An improper integral is the limit of a definite integral as an endpoint of the interval

TRUE
FALSE

True

Explanation:

• Improper Integral: An improper integral is a type of integral where one or both of the limits of integration are infinite, or where the integrand has an infinite discontinuity within the interval of integration.

• Definition: Specifically, an improper integral can be defined as the limit of a definite integral where the endpoints of the integration interval approach either a finite value or infinity (∞ or -∞), or as both endpoints approach specific limits.

Therefore, the statement accurately describes the concept of an improper integral.

So, the statement is:

True

Euler’s Method numerically computes the approximate derivative of a function.

TRUE
FALSE

[zaasmi]

@zaasmi said in MTH603 Mid Term Past and Current Solved Paper Discussion:

Euler’s Method numerically computes the approximate derivative of a function.

TRUE
FALSE

False

Explanation:

• Euler’s Method: This is a numerical technique for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by approximating the solution at discrete points. It does not compute the derivative directly but instead uses the derivative to update the solution iteratively.

• Derivative Computation: Euler’s Method uses the derivative provided by the differential equation to estimate the next value in the solution. It does not numerically compute or approximate the derivative itself.

Thus, Euler’s Method is used to approximate solutions of differential equations, not to compute the derivative of a function.

So, the statement is:

False

Antiderivative

Value

Explanation:

• Euler’s Method: This numerical technique is used to approximate the solution of an ordinary differential equation by iteratively computing approximate values of the function at discrete points.

• Approximate Value: Euler’s Method estimates the function’s value at successive points based on its derivative, rather than computing the derivative or antiderivative directly.

So, the correct option is:

Value

Constant

Infinity Click here for detail
Zero

Infinity

Explanation:

• Definite Integral with Infinite Limit: When evaluating a definite integral with an infinite limit, such as (\int_{a}^{\infty} f(x) , dx), we replace the infinite limit with a variable (often denoted as (t)) and then evaluate the integral (\int_{a}^{t} f(x) , dx). After integrating, we take the limit of this result as (t) approaches infinity.

So, the correct option is:

Infinity

The Jacobi iteration ______, if A is strictly diagonally dominant.

Converges
Diverges

[zaasmi]

@zaasmi said in MTH603 Mid Term Past and Current Solved Paper Discussion:

The Jacobi iteration ______, if A is strictly diagonally dominant.

Converges
Diverges

Converges

Explanation:

• Jacobi Iteration: This is an iterative method for solving systems of linear equations. The convergence of the Jacobi method depends on the properties of the matrix (A).

• Strict Diagonal Dominance: If matrix (A) is strictly diagonally dominant (i.e., for each row of the matrix, the magnitude of the diagonal entry is greater than the sum of the magnitudes of the other entries in that row), then the Jacobi iteration is guaranteed to converge.

Thus, if (A) is strictly diagonally dominant, the Jacobi iteration converges.

So, the correct option is:

Converges

TRUE
FALSE

TRUE

Explanation:

• Determinants and Uniqueness: For a system of linear equations (A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}) where (A) is a square matrix, the determinant of (A) helps in determining the existence and uniqueness of the solution.

  • Existence: If (\det(A) \neq 0), the matrix (A) is non-singular (invertible), which implies that the system has a unique solution.

  • Uniqueness: If (\det(A) = 0), the matrix (A) is singular, and the system either has no solution or has infinitely many solutions, depending on the consistency of the system.

Thus, by checking the determinant, we can determine if the solution exists and if it is unique.

So, the statement is:

TRUE

TRUE
FALSE

TRUE

Explanation:

• Determinant and Eigenvalues: For a square matrix (A), the determinant of (A) is equal to the product of its eigenvalues, considering their algebraic multiplicities.

• Absolute Values: The absolute value of the determinant (|\det(A)|) is indeed equal to the product of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of (A).

So, the statement is:

TRUE
