Question statement

FUNCTIONS

The Numbas system recognises all standard functions but you must use brackets for the arguments of the functions, e.g. sin(x) not sinx, ln(a) not lna.
The absolute value function is written abs(a).
$\arcsin(x)$ , $\arccos(x)$ and $\arctan(x)$ are all recognized as the standard inverse trig functions, and you input them as they are written.

Here are some examples for you to try:

Gap-fill

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

Input:

$\sin(\cos(\var{a}x)+\var{b})$ : Gap 0.
$\cos(\sin(\var{b}x)+\var{a})$ : Gap 1.

Advice

Correct inputs for these questions are as follows, although there may be other correct ways of inputting these:

a)

sin(cos({a}x)+{b})
cos(sin({a}x + {b}))

b)

abs((x + {c}) / (x + {d}))
ln(abs((x + {a}) / (x + {d})))

c)

{a}t^({-b})*e^({-c}t)*sin({b}t) + (t + {d}t ^ 3)*e ^ ({c}t)
arctan(({c}y ^ 2 + {d}) / ((y + {a})*(y + {b})))
