Multiple choice

Which of the following is a first-order predicate logic formula?

  1. $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, x^2 \geq 0$
  2. $\exists x \in \mathbb{R}, x^2 < 0$
  3. $x + y = z$
  4. $2^x = 4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A first-order predicate logic formula is a formula that contains variables, predicates, and logical connectives. In this case, the formula "$\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, x^2 \geq 0$" is a first-order predicate logic formula because it contains the variable "$x$", the predicate "$x^2 \geq 0$", and the logical connective "$\forall$".

Multiple choice

Find the characteristic of the field GF(2^8).

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 8

  4. 16
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The characteristic of a field is the smallest positive integer n such that 1 + 1 + ... + 1 (n times) = 0. In the field GF(2^8), the smallest positive integer n such that 1 + 1 + ... + 1 (n times) = 0 is 2. Therefore, the characteristic of the field GF(2^8) is 2.
