The main element that distinguishes an algebraic free response question from a normal Tex question is the format of the solution.
When writing out the solution, you will need quotation marks surrounding your equation. You also have the option to concatenate different parts of an equation as you would manipulate string values (as shown in the example below).
Students are provided a small palette on learning modules to help with some function entry for these types of questions. Unlike a short answer question, these questions don't require submissions to match the answer in the system verbatim but rather the answer has to be mathematically equivalent to the correct answer on record (eg. X+1 is the same thing as 1+X). These questions are also not case sensitive.
