[LON-CAPA-users] Implicit Answer Response

[GARRETT, DONNELL MAZON]

Hi..  I was looking at your example for formula response located here:
http://help.lon-capa.org/fom/cache/115.html

using this example without changing anything thing, I get that:

y = (13-6)/(8-4)*x+6-(13-6)/(8-4)*4

and that's cool..  

however, if you simplify that to -1 + 1.75*x and enter this in as your
answer, Lon-CAPA says that this is wrong.  If formula response acts by
comparing both expressions over a set range of values, why doesn't this
work? Matlab says it works..

Hi Donnell,

Should do:

  $iCurrent = "$A*cos($w*t)";
