What will be the output of this SciPy code?
import numpy as np
from scipy.linalg import lu

A = np.array([[4, 3], [6, 3]])
P, L, U = lu(A)
print(round(U[0,0], 2))
A4.00
B6.00
C3.00
DError due to unpacking
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand LU decomposition output

    LU decomposition returns permutation matrix P, lower matrix L, and upper matrix U.
  2. Step 2: Analyze matrix A and U

    For matrix A, the largest pivot after permutation is 6, so U[0,0] = 6.
  3. Final Answer:

    6.00 -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    LU decomposition pivot = 6.00 [OK]
Quick Trick: LU decomposition's U matrix top-left is pivot [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing U[0,0] with original matrix element
  • Expecting error from unpacking
  • Mixing up P, L, U order
