{"question": "Let V be the set of all real polynomials p(x). Let transformations T, S be defined on V by T:p(x) -> xp(x) and S:p(x) -> p'(x) = d/dx p(x), and interpret (ST)(p(x)) as S(T(p(x))). Which of the following is true?", "options": ["ST = 0", "ST = T", "ST = TS", "ST - TS is the identity map of V onto itself."], "answer": "D"} {"question": "A tank initially contains a salt solution of 3 grams of salt dissolved in 100 liters of water. A salt solution containing 0.02 grams of salt per liter of water is sprayed into the tank at a rate of 4 liters per minute. The sprayed solution is continually mixed with the salt solution in the tank, and the mixture flows out of the tank at a rate of 4 liters per minute. If the mixing is instantaneous, how many grams of salt are in the tank after 100 minutes have elapsed?", "options": ["2", "2 - e^-2", "2 + e^-2", "2 + e^-4"], "answer": "D"} {"question": "Let A be a real 2x2 matrix.
