TEXT(beginproblem()); 

Initialization:

Context("Numeric");

$aSolution = Compute("(x-2)(x+1)");

Setup:

Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_TEXT
Find a quadratic equation in terms of the variable 
\( x \) with roots \( -1 \) and \( 2 \).

Main Text:

$showPartialCorrectAnswers = 1;

ANS( $aSolution->cmp(checker => sub {
      my ( $correct, $student, $self ) = @_;
      my $context = Context()->copy;
      return 0 if $student == 0;
      $context->flags->set(no_parameters=>0);
      $context->variables->add('C0'=>'Parameter');
      my $c0 = Formula($context,'C0');
      $student = Formula($context,$student);
      $correct = Formula($context,"$c0 * $aSolution");
      return $correct == $student;
    }
) );

Answer Evaluation: We use a local context with an adaptive parameter to check the answer. For more on adaptive parameters, see AdaptiveParameters When $aSolution is "complicated", you may need to replace $c0 * $aSolution in the custom answer checker by its value $c0 * (x-2)(x+1) in order to get things to work correctly.
