Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every computing area where linear algebra is central.
Hints
- Four of these represent data or geometry as vectors and matrices.
- Which task is about ordering text rather than numeric vectors?
Show the answer
- B. 3D computer graphics
- C. Solving systems of equations
- D. Search-engine ranking (PageRank)
- E. Machine learning and data compression
Why
Graphics, ML, PageRank and equation-solving all represent data or geometry as vectors and matrices and compute with matrix arithmetic. Alphabetical string sorting is a comparison/ordering task with no linear-algebra content.
