Replaced some javascript with pattern restrictions. There are still some string restrictions that could be replaced with pattern restrictions.

I changed the denominators for parts f,g and h from number entry to mathematical expression. While the answer is always a number, a student who's misunderstood might want to write a surd. You should let them fail!
I don't know why each line of the derivations ended with a comma, but this isn't conventional.
With those things fixed, this is a good question.

- MAIN PARTS
- Part a) should have more numbers rather than just two.
- I think you will have a problem with people not knowing how to insert a square root sign into their answers, meaning they will be scuppered for all of the questions. I think you will need to tell them how to in the parts by giving an example. Say like "3\sqrt{5} can be written as 3*sqrt(5)". Alternatively, you could set it up via gap fill so that all of the answers can be given in a pre-prepared square root sign.
- Part b)'s steps could be a little off-putting for someone. They only need the first rule to do part b) but you have given them an extra rule that isn't relevant. It might confuse them.
- You don't need colons after "Simplify" in each part.
- Part h), your model answer included an unsimplified numerator, which might not be what the user gives. You didn't multiply out 3(\sqrt{3}+18) but writing 3\sqrt{13}+54 is not wrong.
- ADVICE
- I think you should restate the question in part a) after stating the rule and before the actual advice for part a).
- The examples listed for part a) and b) were not the ones I was asked in the test run. It was talking about \sqrt{405} both times when I had been asked about \sqrt{1377} in part a) and \sqrt{1053} in part b).
- In part c), I think you should show how the fraction cancels down a bit more by stating that the two \sqrt{17} cancel on the numerator and denominator. Someone might get lost if they followed the first method.

Thanks for your feedback, i have corrected the mistakes

Rather than having "Answer:" before the gap, I think I'd rather that the surd was repeated, e.g. "$\frac{1}{\sqrt{11}}=$"
In (g) and (h) your answers are displayed with a decimal on the numerator, which I presume is not what you intended. The reason for this is that the braces evaluate {{n}-sqrt({a})} to a decimal number. Try this instead to retain the integer values of n and a:
({n}-sqrt({a}))/{{n}^2-{a}}.
Good work with the advice, which is well laid out and punctuated.

When you need to change the way this part works beyond the available options, you can write JavaScript code to be executed at the times described below.
To account for errors made by the student in earlier calculations, replace question variables with answers to earlier parts.
In order to create a variable replacement, you must define at least one variable and one other part.
| Variable | Answer to use | Must be answered? | |
|---|---|---|---|
The variable replacements you've chosen will cause the following variables to be regenerated each time the student submits an answer to this part:
These variables have some random elements, which means they're not guaranteed to have the same value each time the student submits an answer. You should define new variables to store the random elements, so that they remain the same each time this part is marked.
This part can't be reached by the student.
Add a "next part" reference to this part from another part.
None of the parts which can lead to this part are reachable either.
