The CSS preamble adds a vertical line down the input for part b, to separate the two parts of the matrix.

The student has to enter `diff(y,x,2)`, equivalent to $\frac{\mathrm{d}^2y}{\mathrm{d}x^2}$, as their answer. It's marked by pattern matching, using a custom marking algorithm.

The student has to enter three different letters of the alphabet in the three gaps. Their answer is marked as a set: repeated answers only count as one answer.

Each gap has the same custom marking algorithm which marks that gap as correct if the student's answer is in the set of acceptable answers.

Given a 3 x 3 matrix, and two eigenvectors find their corresponding eigenvalues. Also fnd the characteristic polynomial and using this find the third eigenvalue and a normalised eigenvector $(x=1)$.

Example of an explore mode question. Student is given a 3x3 matrix and is asked to find the characteristic polynomial and eigenvalues, and then eigenvectors for each eigenvalue. The part asking for eigenvectors can be repeated as often as the student wants, to be used for different eigenvalues.

Assessed: calculating characteristic polynomial and eigenvectors.

Feature: any correct eigenvalue will be recognised by the marking algorithm, even multiples of the obvious one(s) (which can be read off from the reduced row echelon form)

Randomisation: Not randomised, just using particular matrices. I am still working on how to randomise this for 3x3; a randomised 2x2 version exists. I have several different versions for 3x3 (not all published yet), so I could make a random choice between these in a test.

The implementation uses linear algebra functions such as "find reduced echelon form" or "find kernel of a reduced echelon form", from the extension "linalg2".

Given $5$ vectors in $\mathbb{R^4}$ determine if a spanning set for $\mathbb{R^4}$ or not by looking for any simple dependencies between the vectors.

Real numbers $a,\;b,\;c$ and $d$ are such that $a+b+c+d=1$ and for the given vectors $\textbf{v}_1,\;\textbf{v}_2,\;\textbf{v}_3,\;\textbf{v}_4$ $a\textbf{v}_1+b\textbf{v}_2+c\textbf{v}_3+d\textbf{v}_4=\textbf{0}$. Find $a,\;b,\;c,\;d$.

This question uses a Geogebra applet to solve a linear program with two variables using the graphical method. It contains three steps:

1. Construct the feasible area (polygon) by adding the constraints one by one. The students can see what happens when the constraints are added.
2. Add the objective function, and the level set of the objective value is shown, as well as its (normalised) gradient.
3. Compute the optimal solution by moving the level set of the objective around.

Calculate the marginal and average cost for a given cost function. Find the corresponding startup/shutdown price.

The student is given the equations of a line and a circle, and has to find the coordinates of the points of intersection. They're always at integer coordinates.

Expand $(az^2+bz+c)(pz+q)$.

The student is shown a set of axes with three lines. They must move the lines so they match the given inequalities, then move a point inside the region satisfied by the inequalities.

This is a copy of a question from the Numbas demos project, with references to the editor removed.

The student is shown a plot of a mystery function. They can enter values of $x$ check, within the bounds of the plot.

They're asked to give the formula for the function, and then asked for its value at a very large value of $x$.

A plot of the student's function updates automatically as they type. Adaptive marking is used for the final part to award credit if the student gives the right value for their incorrect function.
