Andrew's copy of Pattern matching - factorise an equation

Question by Andrew Iskauskas

The student is asked to factorise a quadratic $x^2 + ax + b$. A custom marking script uses pattern matching to ensure that the student's answer is of the form $(x+a)(x+b)$, $(x+a)^2$, or $x(x+a)$.

To find the script, look in the Scripts tab of part a.
Ben's copy of Displaying a randomised LaTeX command

Question by Ben Brawn

Demonstrates how to create variables containing LaTeX commands, and how to use them in the question text.
Block has friction (static or kinetic)

Question by Tom Stallard

A block of given mass is sits on a flat plane with defined static and kinetic friction values. Randomly, it does one of two things, it is either:

1) pushed with enough force to start it moving - calculate the force on the block or the static friction.

2) moving over a distance - calculate the work done or the kinetic friction

(are these uneven calculations)
