Solving linear equations

Basic solving of linear equations

Solve for $x$ and $y$:  \[ \begin{eqnarray} a_1x+b_1y&=&c_1\\   a_2x+b_2y&=&c_2 \end{eqnarray} \]

The included video describes a more direct method of solving when, for example, one of the equations gives a variable directly in terms of the other variable.

Find the missing whole number power in an equation.

An application of quadratic functions based on the Gladesville Bridge in Sydney, Australia. Student is given an equation representing the arch of the bridge and asked to find the height of the arch and the width of the river. Requires and understanding of the quadratic function and where and how to apply correct formulae.

Students are presented with an AI generated solution to rerrange the quadratic equation where the AI has made errors, they are asked to rewrite the solution correctly. No variables but this is version 5 of 5 versions of the question. This version uses a much more mangled AI generated solution that the other 4 versions and does not ask for the line with the first error, just for the student to rewrite the solution correctly.

Students are presented with an AI generated solution to rerrange the quadratic equation where the AI has made errors, they are asked to identify on which line the first error occurs, then rewrite the solution correctly. No variables but this is version 4 of 5 versions of the question.

Students need to find solution to simultaneous linear equations with randomised coefficients.

Question asks student to find zeros of a quadratic equation - disguised as finding time for particle to reach a given position. In this version students are expected to write up their working and submit it seperately to the Numbas question. Students are expcted to recognise that only the positive solution has physical significance. Coefficients of the quadratic are randomly chosen within linits which give one positive and one negative root.
