Quiz covering basic arithmetic with complex numbers and solving roots for a quadratic with complex solutions

Two quadratic graphs are sketched with some area beneath them shaded. Question is to determine the area of shaded regions using integration. The first graph's area is all above the $x$-axis. The second graph has some area above and some below the $x$-axis.

The student is asked to factorise a quadratic $x^2 + ax + b$. A custom marking script uses pattern matching to ensure that the student's answer is of the form $(x+a)(x+b)$, $(x+a)^2$, or $x(x+a)$.

To find the script, look in the Scripts tab of part a.
