This question tests students' ability to use repeated squaring to perform modular exponentiation.  Moduli are random numbers between 30 and 70, the base is a number between 10 and 29.  To generate questions of approximately uniform difficult the exponent is taken to be 256 plus two smaller powers of 2.

DIAGNOSYS is a knowledge-based test of mathematics background knowledge for first-year university students, created by John Appleby at Newcastle University.

The questions have been translated directly into Numbas, with as few changes as possible.

$A,\;B$ $2 \times 2$ matrices. Find eigenvalues and eigenvectors of both. Hence or otherwise, find $B^n$ for largish $n$.

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".

Unit 1: Sequences and Functions

This question tests the students ability to factorise simple quadratic equations (where the coefficient of the x^2 term is 1) and use the factorised equation to solve the equation when it is equal to 0.
