Hello all,
I have a hard time only allowing radical format as an answer, this code allows students to put any equivalent form (as below) which I do not want. any help is appreciatedĀ
context("Numeric");
Context()->strings->add(none=>{},EmptySet=>{alias=>"none"});
$a = random(2,15,1);
$b = random(2,5,1);
$c = list_random(2,3,5,6,7,8,10,11,13,14,15,17);
$d = $b*$c;
($aa,$dd)= reduce($a,$d);
$ans = Compute("($aa*(sqrt($c)))/($dd)") -> reduce;
