Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of a Square Matrix
Consider the matrix A = [[2, 1], [1, 2]]. (a) Find its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. (b) Determine if A is diagonalizable. If so, give the diagonal matrix D and the invertible matrix P such that A = PDP^{-1}. (c) State one application of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in solving linear ODE systems.
Limits and Continuity in Single-Variable Calculus
Define the limit of a function f(x) as x approaches a using the epsilon-delta definition. Then, evaluate the limit lim_{x→0} (sin x)/x and determine whether the function f(x) = { (sin x)/x for x ≠ 0, 1 for x = 0 } is continuous at x = 0. Justify your answer using the conditions for continuity.
Describe the English tense system across past, present, and future with examples.
Explain the four aspects (simple, continuous, perfect, perfect continuous) for each time frame (past, present, future). Provide one example sentence for each of the twelve tense-aspect combinations.
Compare the Atkinson-Shiffrin multi-store model and Baddeley's working memory model.
Discuss the strengths and limitations of the Atkinson-Shiffrin multi-store model and Baddeley's working memory model. Identify which aspects of human memory each model explains better than the other, and provide examples to support your comparison.
Explain Nigerian federalism under the 1999 Constitution.
Discuss the structure of Nigerian federalism as established by the 1999 Constitution, focusing on the exclusive, concurrent, and residual legislative lists. Analyze the principle of revenue allocation and examine the persistent tensions between federal and state authority.
Analyze the competitive landscape of a Nigerian retail business using Porter's Five Forces.
Apply Porter's Five Forces framework to analyze the competitive landscape of a Nigerian supermarket chain (e.g., Shoprite). Identify each force and assess its current intensity (high, medium, or low) with brief justification.
Demand and Supply Analysis: Equilibrium, Shifts, Movements, and Price Controls
Explain the derivation of demand and supply curves, the concept of market equilibrium, and the distinction between shifts of the curves and movements along them. Additionally, analyze the welfare effects (consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss) of a price ceiling set below equilibrium and a price floor set above equilibrium. Use supply and demand diagrams to illustrate your answer.
Compare common network topologies (bus, star, ring, mesh) in terms of node connectivity, cabling and cost, fault tolerance, and their roles in modern enterprise networks.
You are a network consultant advising a growing enterprise on selecting a network topology. Compare bus, star, ring, and mesh topologies. For each topology, describe how nodes connect, discuss cabling and cost implications, explain fault tolerance characteristics, and state its role in modern enterprise networks. Provide a clear and concise comparison.
Compare Git branching strategies: Git Flow, trunk-based development, and short-lived feature branches.
You are a software engineer evaluating different Git branching strategies for a team of 10 developers. Compare Git Flow, trunk-based development, and short-lived feature branches. Discuss trade-offs in team velocity, review rigor, release cadence, and tolerance for long-lived branches.
Explain the five SOLID principles of object-oriented design with code examples.
For each of the five SOLID principles (Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion), provide a short explanation and illustrate either a correct implementation or a common violation using a code-level example.
