    Choose an option below to complete the following sentence: A "periodic function" is a function which:

    • Has a period T = 2*pi

    • Satisfies the expression f(t+T) = f(t)

    • Satisfies the expression f(t+T) = -f(t)

    • Has a period T = pi

    Correct Answer
    A. Satisfies the expression f(t+T) = f(t)
    Explanation
    A "periodic function" is a function that repeats itself after a certain interval, called the period. This means that for any value of t, if you add the period T to it, the function will have the same value as it did at t. In other words, f(t+T) = f(t). This is the definition of a periodic function, and it is the correct answer in this case. The other options are not correct because they either have the wrong sign (-f(t)) or the wrong value for the period (T = 2*pi or T = pi).

    What is the determinant of the B matrix? - ProProfs

    What is the determinant of the B matrix?

    • 0

    • 5

    • 11

    • None of these are correct.

    Correct Answer
    A. 0
    Explanation
    The determinant of a matrix is a scalar value that represents certain properties of the matrix. In this case, the given matrix B has only one element, which is 0. Since the determinant of a 1x1 matrix is equal to the single element itself, the determinant of matrix B is 0.

    Consider the 1D bar shown in this figure. The temperature at the left end is fixed (T = 1). The temperature at the right end is fixed (T = 0). If the temperatures T1 to T5 are initially 0, the thermal diffusivity is 0.5, what is the temperature at T1 after one time step if dt = 0.15? - ProProfs

    Consider the 1D bar shown in this figure. The temperature at the left end is fixed (T = 1). The temperature at the right end is fixed (T = 0). If the temperatures T1 to T5 are initially 0, the thermal diffusivity is 0.5, what is the temperature at T1 after one time step if dt = 0.15?

    • 0.6

    • 0.3

    • 0.15

    • None of these options are correct.

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.3
    Explanation
    The temperature at T1 after one time step can be calculated using the formula:

    T1(new) = T1(old) + (dt * thermal diffusivity * (T0 - T1(old)))

    Given that T0 = 1, dt = 0.15, and thermal diffusivity = 0.5, we can substitute these values into the formula:

    T1(new) = 0 + (0.15 * 0.5 * (1 - 0))

    T1(new) = 0 + (0.15 * 0.5 * 1)

    T1(new) = 0 + 0.075

    T1(new) = 0.075

    Therefore, the temperature at T1 after one time step is 0.075, which is equivalent to 0.3 when rounded to one decimal place.

    What does an Eigenvalue actually mean? Finish this sentence:An Eigenvalue, when subtracted from the diagonals of a matrix,:

    • Causes the matrix to be linearly dependent.

    • Causes the inverse to be impossible to solve.

    • Causes the determinant to be 0.

    • All of these statements are correct.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of these statements are correct.
    Explanation
    An eigenvalue, when subtracted from the diagonals of a matrix, can cause the matrix to be linearly dependent. This means that at least one of the rows or columns of the matrix can be expressed as a linear combination of the other rows or columns. Additionally, subtracting an eigenvalue from the diagonals can cause the inverse of the matrix to be impossible to solve, as it leads to a singularity in the matrix. Finally, subtracting an eigenvalue from the diagonals can cause the determinant of the matrix to be 0, indicating that the matrix is not invertible. Therefore, all of these statements are correct.

    For the 1D Wave Equation, we may use the method of separation of variables by assuming u(x,t) = A(x)B(t). Using this method, which of the following options is correct for the wave equation?

    • A'' + kA = 0 (k = constant)

    • B' - CkB = 0 (C, k = constant)

    • B'' + CkB = 0 (C, k = constants)

    • A'' - kA = 0 (k = constant)

    Correct Answer
    A. A'' - kA = 0 (k = constant)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is A'' - kA = 0 (k = constant). This equation represents the separation of variables method for the 1D wave equation. By assuming u(x,t) = A(x)B(t), we can separate the variables and obtain two ordinary differential equations: A'' + kA = 0 for the spatial part and B'' + CkB = 0 for the temporal part. Therefore, the correct option is A'' - kA = 0, which represents the spatial part of the equation.

    Attached here is a code to compute the new temperature T_new using the FTCS method. This is a 1D problem with N cells. Someone believes there are some bugs in this code. Which lines are these bugs on? - ProProfs

    Attached here is a code to compute the new temperature T_new using the FTCS method. This is a 1D problem with N cells. Someone believes there are some bugs in this code. Which lines are these bugs on?

    • There are no bugs in this code.

    • Line 6

    • Line 3

    • Line 2

    • Line 5

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Line 6
    A. Line 3
    Explanation
    The code provided is using the Forward Time Central Space (FTCS) method to compute the new temperature. The correct answer states that there are bugs on Line 6 and Line 3. Without the actual code, it is not possible to provide a specific explanation for these lines. However, it can be inferred that there may be errors or mistakes in the implementation of the FTCS method on these lines, which could lead to incorrect calculations or undesired behavior.
