PG problem file | Explanation |
---|---|
DOCUMENT(); loadMacros( "PGstandard.pl", "MathObjects.pl", "PGcourse.pl", "contextLimitedPowers.pl", ); TEXT(beginproblem()); |
Initialization:
Use |
Context("Numeric"); #LimitedPowers::NoBaseE(); # chose one of these three: #LimitedPowers::OnlyIntegers(); LimitedPowers::OnlyPositiveIntegers(); #LimitedPowers::OnlyNonNegativeIntegers(); $a = random(2,5,1); |
Setup: This is the section where we restrict the allowed types of powers. For more options, see the POD documentation contextLimitedPowers.pl |
Context()->texStrings; BEGIN_TEXT (a) Enter \( $a^3 \): \{ ans_rule(10) \} $BR (b) Enter \( 1/$a^3 \), not \( $a^{-3} \): \{ ans_rule(10) \} $BR (c) Enter \( 1/x^2 \), not \( x^{-2} \): \{ ans_rule(10) \} END_TEXT Context()->normalStrings; |
Main Text: The problem text section of the file is as we'd expect. |
$showPartialCorrectAnswers = 1; ANS( Real("$a^3")->cmp() ); ANS( Real("1/$a^3")->cmp() ); ANS( Compute("1/x^2")->cmp() ); ENDDOCUMENT(); |
Answer Evaluation: As is the answer. |
