The relationship between the frequency of an allele A, $x$, at a genetic locus in a diploid population and the fitness of a population with this frequency of allele A, $w$, is described by the function $w=ax^2+x(b-x)+c(b-x)^2$ . The aims are (a) ti simplify the algebraic expression, (b) calculate the fitness of a population with a given allele A frequency, and (c) calculate the allele A frequency when the fitness of the population is given.

This shows how to use a variable name annotation to put a hat on a variable name inside the \simplify command.

Simplify (qx+a)/(rx+b) +/- (sx+c)/(rx+b)^2

x is a randomised variable. a,b,c,d,q,r are randomised integers.

Simplify (qx+a)/(rx+b) +/- (sx+c)/(tx+d)

x is a randomised variable. a,b,c,d,q,r,s,t are randomised integers. a,b,c,d run from -5 to 5, including 0. q,r,s,t run from -3 to 3, and can be 0 if the constant term is nonzero, but are mostly 1.

Simplify ax/b +/- cx/d, where x is a randomised variable, and a,b,c,d are randomised integers.

Simplify (a) a fully-factorised fraction with common factors, and (b) a fraction where the numerator is a product and the denominator a sum sharing the same variables (that cannot be simplified). The variables are randomised. Part of HELM book 1.4

Simplify an algebraic fraction where both numerator and denominator must first be factorised. Part of HELM Book 1.4

Simplify an algebraic fraction where the numerator is a factor of the quadratic on the denominator. Posed as a yes/no question, is this fraction equivalent to this simplified form? The answer is always yes. Part of HELM Book 1.4

Simplify an algebraic fraction where the numerator and denominator first need to be factorised (the common factor is an integer). Part of HELM book 1.4

Simplify an algebraic fraction that is fully factorised with common factors between the numerator and denominator, and one of the variables has a larger index on the denominator. Part of HELM Book 1.4

Simplify a fraction where the numerator and denominator are factorised and have common products, and one of the common factors is powered. Part of HELM book 1.4

Simplify, if possible,
(a) $\frac{2}{3}x^2 + \frac{x^2}{3}$, (b) $0.5x^2 + \frac{3}{4}x^2 - \frac{11}{2}x$, (c) $3x^3 - 11x + 3yx + 11$, and (d) $-4\alpha x^2 + \beta x^2$ where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants.

The numbers and letters are all randomised.
