Answer Must Be Simplified Using Logarithms
This PG code shows how to disable and undefine some functions and operators, which will require students to simplify their answer using laws of logarithms.

Initialization: |
Context("Numeric"); Context()->variables->are(x=>"Real",y=>"Real",z=>"Real"); Context()->variables->set(x=>{limits=>[2,3]}); Context()->variables->set(y=>{limits=>[2,3]}); Context()->variables->set(z=>{limits=>[2,3]}); $a = random(20,40,1); $b = random(20,40,1); do { $c = random(20,40,1); } until ( $c != $b ); # TeX $expr = "\displaystyle \ln \left( \frac{ x^{$a} y^{$b} }{ z^{$c} } \right)"; $answer = Compute("$a * ln(x) + $b * ln(y) - $c * ln(z)"); Context()->operators->undefine("/","^","**"); Context()->functions->undefine("sqrt"); |
Setup:
We add the variables to the context and reset their limits since logarithms are not defined on the default domain |
Context()->texStrings; BEGIN_TEXT Using laws of logarithms, write the expression below using sums and/or differences of logarithmic expressions which do not contain the logarithms of products, quotients, or powers. $BR $BR \( \displaystyle $expr = \) \{ ans_rule(40) \} \{ AnswerFormatHelp("formulas") \} END_TEXT Context()->normalStrings; |
