Question 16
What regular expression generates all strings over {a, b} that start with 'b' and end with 'bba'?
The prefix 'b' guarantees starting with 'b', '(a+b)*' permits any intermediate substring, and 'bba' guarantees ending with 'bba'.

Which state of a Finite Automaton is designated as the entry point where computation begins upon consuming input?
Computation starts strictly at the designated Initial State (q0), marked by an incoming unlabelled arrow.
Can a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) have multiple accepting (final) states?
In 5-tuple $M = (Q$, $\Sigma , \delta , q0, F), F ⊆ Q$ is a set of final states which can contain zero, one, or multiple states.
What is an '$\epsilon -closure' of a state 'q'$ in an $\epsilon -NFA$?
$\epsilon -closure(q) includes state q itself plus all states reachable along paths made entirely of spontaneous \epsilon -transitions.$
Are Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) and Nondeterministic Finite Automata (NFA) equivalent in language recognition power?
By the Subset Construction algorithm, every NFA can be converted to an equivalent DFA, proving equal language recognition power.
