Accepts numbers and formulas |
ex sin(x2) | |
|
Accepts numbers and formulas that do not include trigonometric functions or logarithms. |
1/sqrt(2) | |
|
Grades equivalent equations. (Other question types do not allow the "=" sign). Note: The expression given as the correct answer must consist of a single variable on the left-hand side of the equation and a formula that does not involve that variable on the right hand side. (That is, you cannot specify an implicit formula.) This restriction does not apply to students entering their answers. |
y-2 = 4(x+1) | |
|
One or more entry boxes that accept numbers and formulas, inserted into a section of text. Blanks can be inserted into any standard HTML, including tables. |
in-line formula expressions | |
|
Accepts numbers in decimal form. Scientific notation is allowed but arithmetic or formulas are not allowed. Also allows you to specify required physical units. |
4.7 * 105 | |

|
Numbers and formulas. Accepts two answers as equivalent if they differ by a constant number. |
x ln(x) x ln(x)+ 1 | |
|
Accepts an unordered list of numbers or formulas as a list of numbers and formulas separated by semicolons. The answer must match the terms of the list in any order. Explanatory text tells students to enter any order of numbers or formulas separated by semicolons. |
4; 5x; 3 | |
|
For questions about Cartesian coordinates or vectors. Accepts an ordered list of number or formulas separated by commas. (for example, a Cartesian point or a vector). Parentheses are recommended but not required. Explanatory text tells students to enter a list of formulas separated by commas enclosed in parentheses. |
(2, 4t, 7t+1) | |
|
Accepts an ordered list of numbers or formulas. Parentheses accepted but not recommended. Grading is same as for Ntuple. Explanatory text tells students to enter an ordered list of formulas or numbers separated by commas. |
2, 4, 8, 16 | |
|
Multiple questions arranged in parts (a), (b), (c), ... Otherwise operates like a formula question. |
| |
|
A rectangular array of entry boxes that accept numbers and formulas. |
3 4x2 sin(x) 6 | |
|
Accepts algebraic formulas, unit dimensions, numeric responses, or any combination of these. |
sin(x) 6 m 6m cos(x) m/s |
