Question statement

Ratios of Algebraic Expressions.

By this we mean expressions of the form $\displaystyle \frac{p(x)}{q(x)}$ where $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ are algebraic expressions.

If you want to input such an expression into the system you HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND USE BRACKETS otherwise mistakes will occur.

Once again, the box displaying your input in mathematical notation beside the input boxes in parts 2, 3 and 4 is very useful as it shows what the system thinks you have entered.

For complicated expressions this is essential as you can check you have written what you really meant.

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Examples

Suppose we wanted to input the expression $\displaystyle \frac{\var{a}+\var{b}x}{\var{c}+\var{d}y}$ into the system.

Which of the following input expressions are incorrect?

Unnamed gap

Choose the incorrect input(s): (You lose 3 marks if you choose the wrong one!)

If you click on Submit part, then on Show feedback, you will be given more detail on your choices.

You can click on Reveal at the top of the window to see solutions, but it's best to work these through yourself. Remember you can always redo the question by clicking on Try another question like this one at the bottom.

Advice

a) The correct input is ({a}+{b}x)/({c}+{d}y) - the rest are incorrect and you should have ticked those.

b) A correct input is ({b} + {a}y) / ({c} + {d}z). Also correct is ({a}y+{b}) / ({c} + {d}z) etc.

c) A correct input is ({d}z + {b}) / ((x + {a})*(y + {c})).

Note the denominator (the bottom of the ratio) has to have two brackets, i.e. ((x + {a})*(y + {c})) as otherwise the expression ({d}z + {b}) / (x + {a})*(y + {c}) is seen by the system as $\displaystyle \left(\simplify[std]{({d} * z + {b}) / (x + {a})}\right) (y + \var{c})$

d) A correct input is ({a} -({b}x + {c})*e ^ ( -{2}x)) / ((x + {2*b})*(y -{3*d}))

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
