Problem tagging:

DOCUMENT();  

loadMacros(
"PGstandard.pl",

);

TEXT(beginproblem());

Initialization:

Context("Numeric");

Context()->functions->remove("tan");
package NewFunc;
# this next line makes the function a 
# function from reals to reals
our @ISA = qw(Parser::Function::numeric);
sub tan {
  shift; my $x = shift;
  return CORE::exp($x*3.1415926535);
}
package main;
# Make it work on formulas as well as numbers
sub tan {Parser::Function->call('tan',@_)} 
#  Add the new functions to the Context
Context()->functions->add( 
  tan => {class =>'NewFunc', TeX =>'\tan'}, );

Setup: We redefine the function whose name is tan(x) to take values exp(pi * x).

Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_TEXT
Simplify the expression as much as possible.

$BR
\( \tan(x) \cos(x) \) = \{ ans_rule(20) \}

Main Text:

ANS(Formula("sin(x)")->cmp() 
->withPostFilter(AnswerHints(
  Compute("tan(x)*cos(x)") => 
  "No credit for entering what you were given.",
))
