Question in MATH6058 Engineering Maths 1
Factorise three quadratic equations of the form $x^2+bx+c$.
The first has two negative roots, the second has one negative and one positive, and the third is the difference of two squares.

Question in Demos
Give the student three points lying on a quadratic, and ask them to find the roots.
Then ask them to find the equation of the quadratic, using their roots. Error in calculating the roots is carried forward.
Finally, ask them to find the midpoint of the roots (just for fun). Error is carried forward again.

Question in How-tos
This question asks the student to give a function with a particular root. It then asks them to divide by (x-{root}), and uses adaptive marking to mark against the previous answer.
This uses the "expression" data type, which is currently undocumented and experimental.
