Problem 10

Evaluate \(\int_{0}^{1}\ln \! \left(x \right) \ln \! \left(1-x \right)d x\) in closed form.

Run 1
\(2-\frac{\pi^{2}}{6}\)
Run 2
\(2-\frac{\pi^{2}}{6}\)
Run 3
\(2-\frac{\pi^{2}}{6}\)
Run 4
\(2 \zeta \! \left(3\right)\)
Run 5
\(2-\frac{\pi^{2}}{6}\)
Run 6
\(2-\frac{\pi^{2}}{6}\)

Analysis: Run 4's answer \(2\zeta(3)\) is a constant involving Apéry's constant, while run 2's answer \(2 - \pi^2/6\) is a rational combination of \(\pi^2\); these are numerically and symbolically distinct values.

Run 1
\(\frac{\pi^{2}}{8}\)
Run 2
\(\mathit{Catalan}\)
Run 3
\(\mathit{Catalan}\)
Run 4
\(\mathit{Catalan}\)
Run 5
\(\mathit{Catalan}\)
Run 6
\(\mathit{Catalan}\)

Analysis: Run 1 gives \(\pi^2/8\) while run 2 gives Catalan's constant \(G \approx 0.9159\), which are numerically and symbolically distinct (\(\pi^2/8 \approx 1.2337\)).

Problem 18

Locate and classify the critical points of the surface defined by \(f \! \left(x , y\right) = x^{3}+y^{3}-3 x y\).

Run 1
\(\{[0, 0, \mathit{saddlepoint}], [1, 1, \mathit{localminimum}]\}\)
Run 2
\(\{[0, 0, \mathit{saddle}], [1, 1, \textit{local\_minimum}]\}\)
Run 3
\(\{[0, 0], [1, 1]\}\)
Run 4
\([[0, 0, \mathit{saddle}], [1, 1, \text{``local minimum''}]]\)
Run 5
\(\{[0, 0], [1, 1]\}\)
Run 6
\(\{\{x = 0, y = 0\}, \{x = 1, y = 1\}\}\)

Analysis: The first group locates both critical points \((0,0)\) and \((1,1)\) and classifies them as a saddle and a local minimum, while the second group lists the points without any classification.

Problem 19

Find the maximum rate of change of \(f \! \left(x , y\right) = x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{-y}\) at \([2, 0]\) and the direction in which it occurs.

Run 1
\(\left(4 \sqrt{2}, \langle \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\rangle \right)\)
Run 2
\(\left(4 \sqrt{2}, \left[\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right]\right)\)
Run 3

Run 5
\(\left[4 \sqrt{2}, \left[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right]\right]\)
Run 6
\(4 \sqrt{2}\)

Analysis: The first group provides both the maximum rate \(4\sqrt{2}\) and the direction (given as \(\langle 4,-4\rangle\) by run 3 and run 4, and as the unit vector \(\langle \sqrt{2}/2,-\sqrt{2}/2\rangle\) by run 2, which point the same way), while run 6 reports only the magnitude \(4\sqrt{2}\) with no direction.

Run 1
\(12\)
Run 2
\(12\)
Run 3
\(12\)
Run 4
\(-6\)
Run 5

Problem 28

Find one valid QR decomposition of the matrix \(\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right]\).

Run 1
\(\begin{pmatrix} \begin{array}{cc} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & -\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \\ 0 & \frac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \end{array} \\ \begin{array}{cc} \sqrt{2} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ 0 & \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} \end{array} \end{pmatrix}\)
Run 2

Run 4

Run 5
\([\left[\begin{array}{cc} - 0.70710678 & - 0.40824829 \\ - 0.70710678 & 0.40824829 \\ 0.0 & 0.81649658 \end{array}\right], \left[\begin{array}{cc} - 1.41421356 & - 0.70710678 \\ 0.0 & 0.81649658 \end{array}\right]]\)
Run 6
\(\left(\left[\begin{array}{ccc} - 0.7071067811865472 & 0.40824829046386296 & - 0.5773502691896258 \\ - 0.7071067811865475 & - 0.408248290463863 & 0.5773502691896258 \\ - 0.0 & 0.8164965809277261 & 0.5773502691896257 \end{array}\right], \left[\begin{array}{cc} - 1.4142135623730951 & - 0.7071067811865472 \\ 0.0 & 1.224744871391589 \\ 0.0 & 0.0 \end{array}\right]\right)\)

Analysis: The decomposition by run 5 has \(R_{22} \approx 0.8165\) while run 1 has \(R_{22} = \sqrt{6}/2 \approx 1.2247\), so the second columns of \(Q\) and \(R\) are not related by a uniform sign flip and the two factorizations are not the same.

Problem 29

Find one valid singular value decomposition of the matrix \(\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \\ 5 & 6 \end{array}\right]\).

Run 1
\(y \! \left(x \right) = \frac{\left(-J_{-\frac{3}{4}}\! \left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right) c_{1} -Y_{-\frac{3}{4}}\! \left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right)\right) x}{c_{1} J_{\frac{1}{4}}\! \left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right)+Y_{\frac{1}{4}}\! \left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right)}\)

Analysis: The first group expresses \(y=-u'/u\) (in various Bessel bases of \(u''+x^2u=0\)), while the remaining answer has the opposite overall sign, corresponding to \(+u'/u\).

Problem 35

Solve \(\frac{d}{d x}y \! \left(x \right) = \frac{x \left(x^{2}-x -1-2 x^{2} y \! \left(x \right)+2 x^{4}\right)}{\left(x^{2}-y \! \left(x \right)\right) \left(x +1\right)}\), expressing the implicit general solution.

Run 1

Run 6
\(2 y +\ln \! \left({| \left(2 x^{2}-2 y +1\right) \left(x +1\right)^{4}|}\right) = \frac{4}{3} x^{3}-2 x^{2}+4 x +C\)

Analysis: run 1 and run 6 give an algebraic–logarithmic implicit solution \(4x^3-6x^2+12x-6y-3\ln((x+1)^4(2x^2-2y+1))=C\); run 2 has \(x/y+\tfrac{\sqrt\pi}{2}\mathrm{erf}(x)=C\); run 3 and run 4 have \(x/y+\tfrac{\sqrt\pi}{2}\mathrm{erf}(y)=C\); run 5's \(\int e^{-x^2}\,dy = y\,e^{-x^2}\) matches none of the others.

Run 5
\(y \! \left(x \right) = \mathit{C1} x\)
Run 6
\(x^{2} \left(C_{1} -\ln \! \left({| x |}\right)\right)+C_{2} x\)

Analysis: The first group expresses the general solution in terms of the exponential integral \(\mathrm{Ei}\), while \(y=C_1 x\) is only the one-parameter linear solution and the last is a different polynomial–logarithmic form \(x^2(C_1-\ln|x|)+C_2 x\) without \(\mathrm{Ei}\).

Run 6
\(\left[\frac{8}{\alpha_{n}^{3} J_{1}\! \left(\alpha_{n}\right)}, 1.1061, - 0.1396, 0.0455\right]\)

Analysis: All share the closed form \(c_n = 8/(\alpha_n^3 J_1(\alpha_n))\), but every answer reports a different set of 4-decimal numerical values for \(c_1, c_2, c_3\).

Analysis: run 3 gives both the full set of six roots and the upper-half-plane subset, run 4 gives only the full set of six roots (using \(2e^{i\theta}\) instead of \(\operatorname{polar}(2,\theta)\)), and run 6 gives only the upper-half-plane subset.

\(-\frac{1}{2 z}-\left(\overset{\infty}{\underset{n =0}{\textcolor{gray}{\sum}}}\! \frac{z^{n}}{2^{n +2}}\right)\)
Run 5
\(-\frac{1}{2 z}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{z}{8}-\frac{z^{2}}{16}-\frac{z^{3}}{32}-\frac{z^{4}}{64}+O\! \left(z^{5}\right)\)
Run 6
\(-\frac{1}{2 z}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{z}{8}-\frac{z^{2}}{16}-\frac{z^{3}}{32}+O\! \left(z^{4}\right)\)

Analysis: Run 1's coefficients for the regular part are doubled (\(-1/2, -z/4, -z^2/8, \ldots\)) compared to the others' \(-1/4, -z/8, -z^2/16, \ldots\).

Problem 46

Find the Laurent series of \(f \! \left(z \right) = \frac{1}{z^{2} \left(z -1\right)}\) around \(z = 0\) in both regions: (a) \(0<{| z |}<1\) and (b) \(1<{| z |}\), each with 5 non-zero terms.

Run 1
\(\left(-\frac{1}{z^{2}}-\frac{1}{z}-1-z -z^{2}, \frac{1}{z^{3}}+\frac{1}{z^{4}}+\frac{1}{z^{5}}+\frac{1}{z^{6}}+\frac{1}{z^{7}}\right)\)
Run 2
\(\left(-\frac{1}{z^{2}}-\frac{1}{z}-1-z -z^{2}, \frac{1}{z^{3}}+\frac{1}{z^{4}}+\frac{1}{z^{5}}+\frac{1}{z^{6}}+\frac{1}{z^{7}}\right)\)
Run 3
\(-\frac{1}{z^{2}}-\frac{1}{z}-1-z -z^{2}\)
Run 4
\(-\frac{1}{z^{2}}-\frac{1}{z}-1-z -z^{2}\)
Run 5
\(\frac{1}{z^{3}}+\frac{1}{z^{4}}+\frac{1}{z^{5}}+\frac{1}{z^{6}}+\frac{1}{z^{7}}\)
Run 6
\(-\frac{1}{z^{2}}-\frac{1}{z}-1-z -z^{2}\)

Analysis: Three distinct mathematical answers: runs 1 and 2 give both expansions as a tuple (the \(0<|z|<1\) and \(|z|>1\) Laurent series); runs 3, 4, and 6 give only the \(0<|z|<1\) expansion \(-1/z^2 - 1/z - 1 - z - z^2\); run 5 gives only the \(|z|>1\) expansion \(1/z^3 + 1/z^4 + 1/z^5 + 1/z^6 + 1/z^7\). The largest equivalent group has 3 members.

Problem 55

Find the discriminant of \(f \! \left(x \right) = x^{3}+p x +q\) in terms of \(p\) and \(q\), and state the condition on \([p, q]\) for \(f\) to have a repeated root.

Run 1
\(\left(-4 p^{3}-27 q^{2}, -4 p^{3}-27 q^{2}=0\right)\)
Run 2
\(\left(-4 p^{3}-27 q^{2}, -4 p^{3}-27 q^{2}=0\right)\)
Run 3
\(-4 p^{3}-27 q^{2}\)
Run 4
\(-4 p^{3}-27 q^{2} = 0\)
Run 5
\(-4 p^{3}-27 q^{2} = 0\)
Run 6
\(-4 p^{3}-27 q^{2} = 0\)

Analysis: run 1 gives both the discriminant \(-4p^3 - 27q^2\) and the repeated-root condition \(-4p^3 - 27q^2 = 0\); run 3 gives only the discriminant; run 4 gives only the condition equation.

Problem 60

Express \(4 \sin \! \left(x \right) \sin \! \left(2 x \right) \sin \! \left(4 x \right)\) as a sum of cosines.

Run 1
\(\cos \! \left(5 x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\cos \! \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-3 x \right)-\cos \! \left(7 x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-\cos \! \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x \right)\)
Run 2
\(\cos \! \left(3 x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-\cos \! \left(x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-\cos \! \left(7 x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\cos \! \left(5 x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
Run 3
\(\cos \! \left(3 x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-\cos \! \left(x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)-\cos \! \left(7 x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\cos \! \left(5 x -\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
Run 4
\(\cos \! \left(x \right)-\cos \! \left(3 x \right)-\cos \! \left(5 x \right)+\cos \! \left(7 x \right)\)
Run 5
\(\cos \! \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-5 x \right)+\cos \! \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-3 x \right)-\cos \! \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-7 x \right)-\cos \! \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x \right)\)
Run 6
\(-\sin \! \left(7 x \right)+\sin \! \left(5 x \right)+\sin \! \left(3 x \right)-\sin \! \left(x \right)\)

Analysis: The first group all simplify to \(\sin(5x)+\sin(3x)-\sin(7x)-\sin(x)\), while the lone answer uses pure cosines \(\cos(x)-\cos(3x)-\cos(5x)+\cos(7x)\), which is a different function of \(x\).

Problem 73

For data \(X = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]\) and \(Y = [ 2.1, 3.9, 4.8, 6.2, 7.0]\), fit a least squares regression line \(y = b x +a\) and compute the residual sum of squares.

Run 1
\( 0.2590\)
Run 2
\( 0.259\)
Run 3
\( 0.259\)
Run 4
\(\left( 1.17+ 1.21 x , 0.259\right)\)
Run 5
\([ 1.17, 1.21, 0.2590]\)
Run 6
\([ 1.17, 1.21, 0.259]\)

Analysis: run 2 gives only the residual sum of squares \(0.259\), while run 4 and run 6 also provide the fitted coefficients \(a=1.17\) and \(b=1.21\) along with the same residual sum of squares.

Problem 75

For data \(\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}\), compute the least squares regression line \(y = b x +a\) and the coefficient of determination \(R^{2}\).

Run 1
\(\left( 2.2+ 0.6 x , 0.6\right)\)
Run 2
\(\left( 2.2, 0.6, 0.6\right)\)
Run 3

Run 4
\(\left( 2.2+ 0.6 x , 0.6\right)\)
Run 5
\(\left(y = 2.2+ 0.6 x , R^{2}= 0.6\right)\)
Run 6
\(\left( 2.2+ 0.6 x , 0.6\right)\)

Analysis: run 2 gives the regression line's coefficients as the triple \((a, b, R^2) = (2.2, 0.6, 0.6)\), while run 1 gives the line itself as the expression \(2.2 + 0.6x\) together with \(R^2 = 0.6\), omitting the intercept and slope as separate scalars.

Problem 77

Perform a two-tailed one-sample t-test at \(\alpha = 0.05\) for \(\mathit{H0}\) using the sample \([9, 10, 11, 12, 13]\) (assume normal population with unknown variance).

Run 1

Run 4
\(\sqrt{2}\)
Run 5
\( 0.2302685002166946\)
Run 6
\( 0.2301901416\)

Analysis: Run 1 gives the numerical value \(0.2346\), run 2 gives \(0.2285\) (a distinct numerical value), and run 4 gives \(\sqrt{2}\approx 1.4142\), which is a different quantity (the t-statistic rather than a probability).

Problem 99

Derive the minimal polynomial of \(\cos \! \left(\frac{2 \pi}{9}\right)\) over \(Q\) and give its numerical value to 6 decimal places.

Run 1
\(\left(8 x^{3}-6 x +1, 0.766044\right)\)
Run 2
\(\left(8 x^{3}-6 x +1, 0.766044\right)\)

Run 5
\(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{4}\)
Run 6
\(\left(8 x^{3}-6 x +1, 0.766044\right)\)

Analysis: Run 5 gave only the numerical value \((1+\sqrt{5})/4 \approx 0.809\), while run 1 gave the minimal polynomial \(8x^3-6x+1\) together with the numerical root \(0.766044\), which is the actual value of \(\cos(2\pi/9)\).
