Given two numbers, find the gcd, then use Bézout's algorithm to find $s$ and $t$ such that $as+bt=\operatorname{gcd}(a,b)$. 

Use laws for addition and subtraction of logarithms to simplify a given logarithmic expression to an arbitrary base.

Create a truth table for a logical expression of the form $(a \operatorname{op1} b) \operatorname{op2}(c \operatorname{op3} d)$ where $a, \;b,\;c,\;d$ can be the Boolean variables $p,\;q,\;\neg p,\;\neg q$ and each of $\operatorname{op1},\;\operatorname{op2},\;\operatorname{op3}$ one of $\lor,\;\land,\;\to$.

For example: $(p \lor \neg q) \land(q \to \neg p)$.

Given two numbers, find the gcd, then use Bézout's algorithm to find $s$ and $t$ such that $as+bt=\operatorname{gcd}(a,b)$. Finally, find all solutions of an equation $\mod b$.

This question tests the student's ability to solve simple linear equations by elimination. Part a) involves only having to manipulate one equation in order to solve, and part b) involves having to manipulate both equations in order to solve. 

Solve a quadratic equation by completing the square. The roots are not pretty!

Questions on graph theory

This question displays one of 10 graphs. It asks the student to either 

(a) count the vertices, or

(b) count the edges, or

(c) state how many vertices a spanning tree would contain, or

(d) state how many edges a spanning tree would contain, or

(e) state the degree of a selected (randomly chosen) vertex.

Students are randomly shown one of two networks. They are shown four sub-networks, and asked to identify which one is a minimum spanning tree for the network. Thus, there are 2 versions of this question.

Solve two quadratic equations (with real coefficients) in the complex numbers. The solutions have non-zero imaginary part, fractions can appear (but the denominators are rather small).

Questions on differentiation from first principles, and continuity and differentiability.

This question uses the technique of allocating zero marks to gaps so that they act as holders of values input by the user but are not assessed. The values so input are then gathered using the code found in the preamble and suitable combinations are assigned as answers to gap fills which are then assessed to see if they meet the requirements of the question. Note that is a gap fill is created, but not addressed in the prompt of the part then it is hidden from the user.
