2. Which of the following capital cities belongs to a country whose name begins with the letter B?

There is quite a big misunderstanding as to which language is spoken in Brazil, with many people believing it to be Spanish, mostly because of the surrounding countries, whose languages are all mostly Spanish.

4. To determine any critical points of a multivariable function, one must take the determinant of what matrix?

Answer: the Hessian matrix

The Hessian matrix is used to describe the curvature of a determined point of a multivariable function, which can be useful in many situations such as optimization of a multivariable problem.

5. In the 1980 Martin Scorsese classic "Raging Bull", fighter Jake LaMotta gets arrested for what?

Answer: selling alcohol to a minor

7. Which of these coefficients describes the proportion of axial strain in relation to a transverse strain applied to a solid body?

Answer: Poisson's ratio
