A. dN/dt = B(t)D(t) + D(t)N(t) dN/dt = B(t)D(t) + D(t)N(t) B. dN/dt = B(t)N(t) + D(t)N(t) dN/dt = B(t)N(t) + D(t)N(t) C. dN/dt = B(t)/N(t) + N(t)/D(t) dN/dt = B(t)/N(t) + N(t)/D(t) D. dN/dt = B(t)N(t) - D(t)N(t) dN/dt = B(t)N(t) - D(t)N(t)

सही उत्तर: D Correct Answer: D

The rate of population change equals births minus deaths. With per-capita birth and death rates B(t) and D(t), dN/dt = B(t)N(t) - D(t)N(t).

Advanced Mathematics • Queueing Theory

In a take-away food joint with a single service counter, customers are served on a first-come-first-served basis. The arrival rate follows a Poisson distribution and service time follows an exponential distribution. If 2 customers arrive every 10 minutes and 18 customers are served per hour, what is the expected number of customers in the joint at any given time?

A. 2 2 B. 5 5 C. 9 9 D. 1 1

सही उत्तर: A Correct Answer: A

For the M/M/1 queue, lambda = 12 per hour and mu = 18 per hour. The expected number in the system is lambda/(mu - lambda) = 12/6 = 2.

A. Z_14 Z_14 B. {1} {1} C. {1, 13, 3, 5, 11, 9} {1, 13, 3, 5, 11, 9} D. {1, -1, 3, 5, 2, 7} {1, -1, 3, 5, 2, 7}

सही उत्तर: C Correct Answer: C

The units modulo 14 are exactly the residue classes relatively prime to 14: 1, 3, 5, 9, 11 and 13.

A. Undefined Undefined B. 2/7 2/7 C. 4/5 4/5 D. 4/9 4/9

सही उत्तर: D Correct Answer: D

Factor and cancel x - 2: (x^2 - 4)/(x^2 + 5x - 14) = (x + 2)/(x + 7). At x = 2 this equals 4/9.

Geometry • Conic Sections

For what value of m is the line y = mx + 5 tangent to the ellipse represented by 4x^2/9 + y^2/16 = 1? For what value of m is the line y = mx + 5 tangent to the ellipse represented by 4x^2/9 + y^2/16 = 1?

A. 2 2 B. plus or minus 2 plus or minus 2 C. plus or minus 3 plus or minus 3 D. 3 3

सही उत्तर: B Correct Answer: B

For y = mx + c to be tangent to x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1, c^2 = a^2m^2 + b^2. Here a^2 = 9/4, b^2 = 16 and c = 5, giving m^2 = 4, so m = plus or minus 2.
