Oswald,

The tolerance is discussed in the documentation for answer evaluators.

For numbers num_cmp($ans), check out the document http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/discuss/msgReader$216

For functions fun_cmp(function_string, options), check out http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/webworkdocs/docs/pglanguage/manpages/fun_cmp
