Finding the eigenvectors for a $2\times 2$ matrix
Some lecture notes I’m reading present the following matrix:
\begin{equation*}
L =
\begin{pmatrix}
0 & a \\
b & c\\
\end{pmatrix}
\end{equation*}
It then says that the dominant eigenvalue $ \...

Difference in differentiation between Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha
I am trying to differentiate this:
$$f(x)=e^{-x^2}$$
In Wolfram Alpha I get this:
$$-2x\,e^{-x^2}$$
But in Mathematica I get:
$$-2x\,e^{-x^2}\log(e)$$
Why the difference?

Why does CubeRoot and power of 1/3 give different answers in Mathematica?
I have these 2 functions, which should give identical answers:
GPrime[x_] := (1/CubeRoot[x]) + 1
GPrime2[x_] := (1/(x^(1/3))) + 1
However, given this:
