);

TEXT(beginproblem());

Initialization:

Context("Numeric");
Context()->variables->are(x=>"Real",y=>"Real",u=>"Real");

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

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

Setup:

Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_TEXT
Express the function \( y = \sqrt{ x^2 + $a } \) 
as a composition \( y = f(g(x)) \) of two simpler
functions \( y = f(u) \) and \( u = g(x) \).
$BR
$BR
\( f(u) \) = \{ ans_rule(20) \}
\{ AnswerFormatHelp("formulas") \}
$BR
\( g(x) \) = \{ ans_rule(20) \}
\{ AnswerFormatHelp("formulas") \}
END_TEXT
Context()->normalStrings;

Main Text:

$showPartialCorrectAnswers = 1;

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

Answer Evaluation:

Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_SOLUTION
${PAR}SOLUTION:${PAR}
Solution explanation goes here.
