Differentiate $x^m\cos(ax+b)$

Differentiate $ (a+bx) ^ {m} \sin(nx)$

The derivative of $\displaystyle x ^ {m}(ax^2+b)^{n}$ is of the form $\displaystyle x^{m-1}(ax^2+b)^{n-1}g(x)$. Find $g(x)$.

Use two points on a line graph to calculate the gradient and $y$-intercept and hence the equation of the straight line running through both points.

The answer box for the third part plots the function which allows the student to check their answer against the graph before submitting.

This particular example has a positive gradient.

Substitute values into formulae for the area or volume of various geometric objects.

test description

This is supposed to demonstrate allowing one of two different free variables in the student's answer, but only marked as correct if the same free variable is used in all gaps. The custom marking algorithm should extend to any number of gaps, and one could add more alternative answers to allow for more free variable names. It doesn't allow just any free variable name.

Abstract linear combinations. "Surreptitious" preview of bases and spanning sets, but not explicitely mentioned. There is no randomisation because it is just an abstract question. For counter-examples, any valid counter-example is accepted.
