Quiz Question - Calculus and Differential Equations

2022-007

The Fermat Teorem defines that if f had a local maximum or minimum in c, and if f'(c) exists, then f'(c) = 0. A critical number of the function f is a number c in the domain of f where f'(c) = 0 or f'(c) does not exist.

Choose the statement that presents the critical numbers of \(f(x)=x^{3/5}(4-x)\).

  1. 0 and \({2/3}\)
  2. \({2/3}\) and \({4/3}\) 
  3. \({4/3}\) and \({3/2}\)
  4. 0 and \({3/2}\)
  5. None of the above.

Quiz Question - Chapter 02 - Graph Theory – BFS Algorithm

2022-004

Concerning implementing Breadth First Search (BFS) algorithm using a queue, each edge has a length of 1, and the neighbors' order of choice is the biggest number. Observe the oriented graph below.

Suppose you traverse the graph from node 3 to node 1 using BFS, and select the option representing the correct order of all values (node number) loaded in the queue during this operation.

  1. 3 – 4 – 6 – 5 – 7 – 8 – 2 – 1 – 10
  2. 3 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 8 – 7 – 2 – 1
  3. 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 2 – 8 – 7 – 10 – 1
  4. 3 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 8 – 7 – 2 – 1 – 10
  5. None of the above.
