Creating Matrix Question Types
Matrix objects in JavaScript are supported through the usage of MathJs, a mathematical library for JavaScript. Specifically this page covers the usage and support of matrix objects. https://mathjs.org/docs/datatypes/matrices.html
Below is an example of a matrix question.
Example Code
Body
Compute the product $AB$ of the matrices $$A = @matA, B = @matB$$
Explanation
By the row-column definition of the product of matrices
$$\eqalign{AB = &@matA @matB \cr
&@ans1}$$
JavaScript
function js_answer() {
/* global matrix matA u={} */
/* global matrix matB u={} */
/* global matrix ans1 u={} */
matA = math.matrix([[-3, -1, -5],
[-4, -5, 0],
[-2, -4, 5]]);
matB = math.matrix([[4, 4, 0],
[-5, 5, 0],
[2, 5, -3]]);
ans1 = math.multiply(matA, matB);
}
