Students need to solve a quadratic equation and recognise that only the positive root has physical significance. Roots are randomised with one always negative and one positive. Equation can be factorised fairly easily or the quadratic formula can be used to find the solution. Advice gives solution by factorisation.

Simultaneous equation problem as circuit analysis to find unknown currents. Students need to solve the equations and type in the solutions for each variable. Advice is given in terms of solution by elimination.

Simultaneous equation problem as circuit analysis to find unknown voltages. Students need to solve the equations and type in the solutions for each variable. Advice is given in terms of solution by elimination.

Given some random finite subsets of the natural numbers, perform set operations $\cap,\;\cup$ and complement.

Question requires students to determine if the smallest angle of a triangle is smaller than a given value. Answer is Yes/No but students need to use cosine rule to find the smallest angle and to know that smallest angle is oppositeshortest side (otherwise they will need to find all angles of the triangle). Designed for a test where students upload handwritten working for each question as a check against guessing. Also designed to make it difficult for students to google or use AI to find the answer.

Question requires students to determine if the largest angle of a triangle is smaller than a given value. Answer is Yes/No but students need to use cosine rule to find the largest angle and to know that largest angle is opposite longest side (otherwise they will need to find all angles of the triangle). Designed for a test where students upload handwritten working for each question as a check against guessing. Also designed to make it difficult for students to google or use AI to find the answer.

A two part question. Students are first given the formula for the time for a ball to come to rest after being dropped on a block. Part a) asks the students to rearrange the formula to make e, the coefficient of restitution, the subject of the formula. Part b) gives students realistic values for variables in the formula and asks them to calculate the coefficient of restitution using the formula derived in part a). 

Students are given lengths of 3 sides of a triangle (all randomised) and asked to find one of the angles in degrees. Requires use of the cosine rule.

Students are given two angles and the length of the side between them, they are asked to find the length of the side opposite angle A. Can be completed with the ine rule.

Students are asked to solve two simulatineous linear equations in an application of mixing two liquids to arrive at a given final volume and concentration. Students are expected to write up working for their solution and upload it seperately. Final volume, final concentration and concentrations of each solution are randomised.

 Question asks student to find zeros of a quadratic equation. 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.

Question asks students to find the time taken for an object thrown vertically upward from a platform to reach the ground. Set up randomly chooses environment to be on Earth, Mars or the Moon and uses appropriate acceleration due to gravity. The initial velocity of the body and height of the platform above the ground are randomly selected. 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.

This question is an application of a quadratic equation. Student is given dimensions of a rectangular area, and an area of pavers that are available. They are asked to calculate the width of a border that can be paved around the given rectangle (assuming border is the same width on all 4 sides). The equation for the area of the border is given in terms of the unknown border width. Students need to recognise that only one solution of the quadratic gives a physically possible solution.

The dimensions of the rectangle, available area of tiles and type of space are randomised. Numeric variables are constructed so that resulting quadratic equation has one positive and one negative root.
