medium📝 Predict Output Q4 of 15
SciPy - Sparse Linear Algebra
What will be the output of the following code snippet?
import numpy as np
from scipy.sparse.linalg import cg
A = np.array([[4,1],[1,3]])
b = np.array([1,2])
x, info = cg(A, b)
print(np.round(x, 2))
A[0.09 0.64]
B[0.25 0.5]
C[0.2 0.6]
D[0.1 0.7]
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand the problem setup

    The matrix A and vector b define the system Ax = b. We solve using Conjugate Gradient.
  2. Step 2: Solve the system manually or by code

    Solving gives x ≈ [0.1, 0.7]. Rounding to 2 decimals matches [0.1 0.7].
  3. Final Answer:

    [0.1 0.7] -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    cg solution vector ≈ [0.1 0.7] [OK]
Quick Trick: cg solves Ax=b; round solution to check answer [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Miscomputing matrix-vector multiplication
  • Ignoring rounding in output
  • Confusing solution vector with b
