PG problem file Explanation 
DOCUMENT();

loadMacros(
"PGstandard.pl",
"MathObjects.pl",
"PGcourse.pl",
"contextLimitedPowers.pl",
);

TEXT(beginproblem());

Initialization: Use contextLimitedPowers.pl to restrict what is allowed as arguments to exponentiation a^b. 

Context("Numeric");

#LimitedPowers::NoBaseE();

#  chose one of these three:
#LimitedPowers::OnlyIntegers();
LimitedPowers::OnlyPositiveIntegers();
#LimitedPowers::OnlyNonNegativeIntegers();

$a = random(2,5,1);

Setup: This is the section where we restrict the allowed types of powers. For more options, see the POD documentation contextLimitedPowers.pl 

Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_TEXT
(a) Enter \( $a^3 \): \{ ans_rule(10) \}
$BR
(b) Enter \( 1/$a^3 \), not \( $a^{-3} \): \{ ans_rule(10) \}
$BR
(c) Enter \( 1/x^2 \), not \( x^{-2} \): \{ ans_rule(10) \}
END_TEXT
Context()->normalStrings;

Main Text: The problem text section of the file is as we'd expect. 

$showPartialCorrectAnswers = 1;

ANS( Real("$a^3")->cmp() );
ANS( Real("1/$a^3")->cmp() );
ANS( Compute("1/x^2")->cmp() );

ENDDOCUMENT();

Answer Evaluation: As is the answer.
