Question 1

A part of a graph where every vertex can reach every other vertex

Answer options

  • Connected component
  • Eulerian cycle
  • Shortest path
  • Spanning tree

Key Idea

If you count connected components, you learn how many separate "islands" the graph has, and a single added edge can merge two components into one.

Question 2

What assigns a nonnegative size to each vector?

Answer options

  • A norm
  • A basis
  • A matrix
  • A derivative

Key Idea

Different norms can measure the same vector space in very different ways, for example the $\ell^1$ norm sums coordinates while the $\ell^2$ norm gives the usual Euclidean length.

Question 3

This image question appears in the interactive quiz.

Answer options

  • Matrix
  • Basis
  • Vector
  • Determinant

Key Idea

A matrix organizes numbers so rows and columns can represent transformations or data.

Question 4

This image question appears in the interactive quiz.

Answer options

  • Cycle
  • Tree
  • Matching
  • Path

Key Idea

A cycle is a route that returns to where it began without loose ends.

Question 5

What means an operation never leaves the set it is defined on?

Answer options

  • Closure
  • Identity
  • Distributivity
  • Commutativity

Key Idea

Closure is what makes a subset like $2\mathbb{Z}$ a world of its own under addition, but it fails under division since $2/4$ leaves the set.
