Q#1 Linear Algebra GATE EE 2025 (Set 1) MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

Consider the set  of points  which minimize the real valued function

 

Which of the following statements is true about the set S?

The number of elements in the set S is finite and more than one.

The number of elements in the set S is infinite.

The set S is empty.

The number of elements in the set S is exactly one.

Explanation:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thus,

Calculating stationary points:

Let         

Let         

 

where  is an arbitrary constant.

Thus, these are infinitely many stationary points.

Option (b) is correct.

Q#8 Linear Algebra GATE EE 2023 (Set 1) MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

In the figure, the vectors  and  are related as:  by a transformation matrix A. The correct choice of  is

Explanation:

is CW rotation of  by 36.86°

For rotation of a vector by an angle θ in anti-CW direction matrix used.

When vector is to be rotated CW, we use negative value of θ.

θ = -36.86°, cos θ = 0.8, sin θ = -0.6
