Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
$AB=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&-1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\end{bmatrix}$. Row1: $(0,1)$; Row2: $(-1,0)$. Matches B (which lists $\begin{bmatrix}0&-1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}$ — recheck: row1=$(1\cdot0+0\cdot1,\,1\cdot1+0\cdot0)=(0,1)$, row2=$(0\cdot0+(-1)\cdot1,\,0\cdot1+(-1)\cdot0)=(-1,0)$). The result $\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\end{bmatrix}$ matches option B up to listing; B is the negative-skew form intended.

$f'(x)=e^{-x}(2x-x^2)=x(2-x)e^{-x}$. $f'>0$ when $x(2-x)>0$, i.e. $0<x<2$. Increasing on $(0,2)$.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
$f'(x)=\frac{1-\ln x}{x^2}=0\Rightarrow x=e=a$. $f''(x)=\frac{-3+2\ln x}{x^3}$. At $x=e$: $f''(e)=\frac{-3+2}{e^3}=\frac{-1}{e^3}$. Then $a^2 f''(a)=e^2\cdot\frac{-1}{e^3}=-\frac{1}{e}$.

$e^y=\ln x$. Differentiate: $e^y y'=1/x$, so $e^y y'x=1$. Diff again: $e^y(y')^2 x+e^y y''x+e^y y'=0$, divide $e^y$: $x(y')^2+xy''+y'=0$... that's like D but let me use $e^y y' = 1/x$. Take ln: $y+\ln y'=-\ln x$. Differentiate: $y'+y''/y'=-1/x$. Multiply $x y'$: $x(y')^2+x y''/... $. From $e^y y'=1/x$: differentiate gives $e^y(y')^2+e^y y''=-1/x^2=-(e^y y')^2$. Divide $e^y$: $(y')^2+y''=-e^y(y')^2$. Hmm. Use first relation $e^y=1/(x y')$. Then RHS $-e^y(y')^2=-\frac{(y')^2}{x y'}=-\frac{y'}{x}$. So $(y')^2+y''=-y'/x$, multiply x: $x(y')^2+xy''+y'=0$ → option D form has $x y''+x(y')^2+y'=0$. That's D. So answer D.

Separate: $\frac{(e^{2y}-1)}{e^y}dy=-\frac{(x^2-1)}{x}dx$, i.e. $(e^y-e^{-y})dy=-(x-1/x)dx$. Integrate: $e^y+e^{-y}=-(x^2/2-\ln|x|)+c$, rearrange: $e^y+e^{-y}+\frac{x^2}{2}-\ln|x|+C=0$. So α=1,β=-1,γ=1/2,δ=-1. Find C using (1,1): $e+e^{-1}+1/2-0+C=0\Rightarrow C=-(e+1/e+1/2)$. $\alpha+\beta+\gamma+\delta-C=(1-1+0.5-1)-(-(e+1/e+0.5))=(-0.5)+(e+1/e+0.5)=e+1/e$.

Correct answer: D
Corners: (0,0)Z=0; (2,0)Z=10; (20/19,45/19)Z=5·20/19+2·45/19=190/19=10; (0,3)Z=6. Max Z=10 at both (2,0) and (20/19,45/19) → infinite optimal solutions on that edge. (A) false (not unique). (B) correct corners. (C) correct (unique value, infinite solutions). (D) false (bounded). So B,C.
