Problem tagging:

DOCUMENT();

loadMacros(
  'PGstandard.pl',
  'MathObjects.pl',
  'answerComposition.pl',
  'PGML.pl',
  'PGcourse.pl'
);
TEXT(beginproblem());

Initialization: We need to include the macros file answerComposition.pl, which provides an answer checker that determines if two functions compose to form a given function. This can be used in problems where you ask a student to break a given function into a composition of two simpler functions, neither of which is allowed to be the identity function.

Context("Numeric");
Context()->variables->add(u=>"Real");

$a = random(2,9,1);

$f = Formula("sqrt(u)");
$g = Formula("x^2+$a");

Setup:

BEGIN_PGML
Express the function [` y = \sqrt{ x^2 + [$a] } `]
as a composition [` y = f(g(x)) `] of two simpler
functions [` y = f(u) `] and [` u = g(x) `].

+ [` f(u) = `] [_______________]

+ [` g(x) = `]  [_______________]

[@ helpLink('formula') @]*
END_PGML

Main Text:

$showPartialCorrectAnswers = 1;

COMPOSITION_ANS( $f, $g, vars=>['u','x'], showVariableHints=>1);

Answer Evaluation: We use the COMPOSITION_ANS() routine to evaluate both answer blanks. It is possible to use the same variable for both answer blanks. See answerComposition.pl for more options and details.
