Section 2.2 Subject Area Templates

This section samples the subject area template problems found on the WeBWorK wiki at http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/SubjectAreaTemplates.

Checkpoint 2.2.1. Answer is a number or a function.

Suppose the correct answer is \({-8}\text{.}\)
Suppose the correct answer is \(\displaystyle {\frac{7-8x^{7}}{x}}\text{.}\)

Checkpoint 2.2.2. Answer is a function with domain issues.

Suppose the correct answer is \(\displaystyle {\sqrt{x-2}}\text{.}\)
Suppose the correct answer is \(\displaystyle {\ln\!\left(\left|\frac{x}{x-2}\right|\right)}\text{.}\)

Checkpoint 2.2.4.

There is math in each option for this question. Which expression is not a polynomial?

\(\displaystyle x\)
\(\displaystyle x^2\)
\(\displaystyle 2^x\)

Checkpoint 2.2.5. Tables.

A table with minimal XML source.

A	B	C
D	E	F
G	H	I

Finish this table.

1	two	\(\lfloor\pi\rfloor\)
\(\text{I}+\text{I}\) \({}+\text{I}+\text{I}\)		six
\(2^3-1\)	VIII

Checkpoint 2.2.6. Answer Arrays.

These answer blanks are all expecting some sort of answer in an array format.

\({\left(0,0\right)} = {}\) (1 × 2 array)

\({\left\lt 1,2\right>} = {}\) (1 × 2 array)

\({\left[\begin{array}{c}3\\4\\\end{array}\right]} = {}\) (2 × 1 array)

\({\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 \amp 2\cr 3 \amp 4 \end{array}\right]} = {}\) (2 × 2 array)
