Example of an explore mode question. Student is given a 2x2 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 eigenvector is recognised by the marking algorithm, also multiples of the "obvious" one(s) (given the reduced row echelon form that we use to calculate them).

Randomisation: a random true/false for invertibility is created, and the eigenvalues a and b are randomised (condition: two different evalues, and a=0 iff invertibility is false), and a random invertible 2x2 matrix with determinant 1 or -1 is created (via random elementary row operations) to change base from diag(a,b) to the matrix for the question. Determinant 1 or -1 ensures that we keep integer entries.

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

Solving a system of three linear equations in 3 unknowns using Gaussian Elimination (or Gauss-Jordan algorithm) in 5 stages. Solutions are all integers. Introductory question where the numbers come out quite nice with not much dividing. Set-up is meant for formative assessment. Adapated from a question copied from Newcastle.
