The zeroth and first entries in each of the arrays @id, @od, @A, @B, @C, @D hold the values for case 0 and case 1, respectively. We used constant limits of integration to keep this example easy to follow, but we encourage you to write questions over non-rectangular regions. The $multians object has been compartmentalized, so you shouldn't need to change it unless you want to fiddle with the weighted score for each answer blank (by changing the return values). The return values are set so that the percentages come out nicely.
Context()->texStrings; BEGIN_TEXT Set up a double integral in rectangular coordinates for calculating the volume of the solid under the graph of the function \( f(x,y) = $f \) over the region \( $a \leq x \leq $b \) and \( $c \leq y \leq $d \). $BR $BR ${BITALIC}Instructions:${EITALIC} Please enter the integrand in the first answer box. Depending on the order of integration you choose, enter ${BITALIC}dx${EITALIC} and ${BITALIC}dy${EITALIC} in either order into the second and third answer boxes with only one ${BITALIC}dx${EITALIC} or ${BITALIC}dy${EITALIC} in each box. Then, enter the limits of integration and evaluate the integral to find the volume. $BR $BR \( \displaystyle \int_A^B \int_C^D \) \{ $multians->ans_rule(40) \} \{ $multians->ans_rule(5) \} \{ $multians->ans_rule(5) \} $BR $BR A = \{ $multians->ans_rule(20) \} $BR B = \{ $multians->ans_rule(20) \} $BR C = \{ $multians->ans_rule(20) \} $BR D = \{ $multians->ans_rule(20) \} $BR $BR Volume = \{ ans_rule(40) \} END_TEXT Context()->normalStrings;	Main Text: The only interesting thing to note here is that you must use $multians->ans_rule(20) to make each answer blank known to the object $multians.
