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 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 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
\([[ 2.2, 0.6], 0.6]\)
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 5
\( 0.2302685002166946\)
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 2
\(\left(8 x^{3}-6 x +1, 0.766044\right)\)
Run 3
\(\left(8 x^{3}-6 x +1, 0.766044\right)\)
Run 4
\(\left(8 x^{3}-6 x +1, 0.766044\right)\)
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 \(\cos(2\pi/9)\).
