Question 1
Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

The characteristic polynomial involves the calculation of zeros. These values of the roots are the eigenvalues.

Select one:
True 

False

Question 2
Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

When it comes to computer implementation, secant method may have an advantage over the Newton-Raphson since the latter only
evaluates the function and not its derivative.

Select one:
True 

False

Question 3
Incorrect

Mark 0.00 out of 1.00

In general, an n × n matrix will have a characteristic polynomial of degree of n+ 1, and its roots are the eigenvalues of A.

Question 4
Incorrect

Mark 0.00 out of 1.00

The approximated root using the secant method lies within the two initial points which is used to project the secant line.

Select one:
True 

False

Question 5
Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

If x2 is the approximated root in Secant method, it follows that; the value of f(x2) must be equal to 0.

Question 8
Incorrect

Mark 0.00 out of 1.00

Secant method is nearly as fast as the Newton-Raphson method and ensures convergence rather than the latter.

Select one:
True 

False

Question 9
Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

Since matrices are used to represent properties of images, it follows that transformation of images may use eigenvalues and eigenvectors to
do that.

Select one:
True 

False

Question 10
Correct

Mark 1.00 out of 1.00

If QT is the transpose of Q then QT Q = I or the identity matrix.

Select one:
True 

False
