[LON-CAPA-users] factoring problems, source code

[James Sullivan]

A related question. Is there any current support for something like an "equationresponse"?

For example, an answer like

"x > 7+y"

I realize this could be put together using combination of response types (like a drop down for the ">" sign and a formula reponse for the RHS).
Will this be something that will be possible with <mathresponse> or the symbolic algebra?

Best,
Jay

Hi,

With one of the upcoming versions, you will also be able to use  
<mathresponse>:

http://www.lon-capa.org/mathresponse.html

- note the sample problem given there actually has infinitely many  
correct solutions.

But, again, that's not yet in the current production version, just a  
little teaser.
