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".

Calculate the functional value at a point.

Given a cubic expression and a linear factor, calculate the remaining quadratic factor.

Calculate: $ a_1 \times a_2 \times a_3 \times a_4 $ and $ \frac{b_1 \times b_2 \times b_3 \times b_4}{b_5 \times b_6} $

Use two points on a line graph to calculate the gradient and $y$-intercept and hence the equation of the straight line running through both points.

The answer box for the third part plots the function which allows the student to check their answer against the graph before submitting.

This particular example has a positive gradient.

Questions testing understanding of the precedence of operators using BIDMAS. That is, they test Brackets, Indices, Division/Multiplication and Addition/Subtraction.

Calculate the distance between two points along the surface of a sphere using the cosine rule of spherical trigonometry. Context is two places on the surface of the Earth, using latitude and longitude.

The question is randomised so that the numerical values for Latitude for A and B will be positive and different (10-25 and 40-70 degrees). As will the values for Longitude (5-25 and 50-75). The question statement specifies both points are North in latitude, but one East and one West longitude, This means that students need to deal with angles across the prime meridian, but not the equator.

Students first calculate the side of the spherical triangle in degrees, then in part b they convert the degrees to kilometers. Part a will be marked as correct if in the range true answer +-1degree, as long as the answer is given to 4 decimal places. This allows for students to make the mistake of rounding too much during the calculation steps.

Gives a plot of a velocity-time graph using JSXgraph, and a description of the motion shown in the graph. The student is asked to calculate the acceleration at different stages of the motion, and the displacement at the end of the motion.

Used for LANTITE preparation (Australia). NA = Number & Algebra strand. SP = Statistics & Probability strand. Students read the annual hours worked from the chart and calculate the weekly hours given the number of weeks annual leave. There are 7 different versions of this question.

Calculate the conduction heat loss through a concrete slab

Used for LANTITE preparation (Australia). NA = Number & Algebra strand. Students are given a ratio, and the total number of dancers. They must calculate the number of girls (the larger share). The ratio, and total number are randomly generated.

Used for LANTITE preparation (Australia). NA = Number & Algebra strand. Students are given a height (in cm) and weight (kg), then need to calculate the BMI given the formula (first converting height to m), then determine the weight range from the table. Weight and height are randomised.

Use two points on a line graph to calculate the gradient and $y$-intercept and hence the equation of the straight line running through both points.

The answer box for the third part plots the function which allows the student to check their answer against the graph before submitting.

This particular example has a positive gradient.
