1. Multiple-Choice, Not Randomized, One Answer.

What color is a stop sign?

🔗

Green
Green means “go!”.
Red
Red is universally used for prohibited activities or serious warnings.
White
White might be hard to see.

Hint 1.

What did you see last time you went driving?

Hint 2.

Maybe go out for a drive?

2. Multiple-Choice, Math in Feedback.

What is the coefficient on

x^{4} y^{4}

(2 x + 5 x y^{2})^{4} ?

🔗

$6$
Have you accounted for the $2$ and $5$ that are in the original binomial?
$60$
What should the exponents on $2$ and $5$ be when you expand $(2 x + 5 x y^{2})^{4} ?$
$100$
Have you included something of the form $(\binom{n}{k})$ in your computations?
$600$
Correct! Using the binomial theorem, we get a term containing the monomial $x^{4} y^{4}$ by taking two of the first term, and two of the second term in the expansion of $(2 x + 5 x y^{2})^{4},$ and so this term is equal to

$(\binom{4}{2}) (2 x)^{2} (5 x y^{2})^{2} = 6 \cdot 2^{2} 5^{2} x^{4} y^{4} = 600 x^{4} y^{4} .$

3. Multiple-Choice, Not Randomized, Multiple Answers.

Which colors might be found in a rainbow? (Note that the radio buttons now allow multiple buttons to be selected.)

🔗

Red
Red is a definitely one of the colors.
Yellow
Yes, yellow is correct.
Black
Remember the acronym…ROY G BIV. “B” stands for blue.
Green
Yes, green is one of the colors.

Hint.

Do you know the acronym…ROY G BIV for the colors of a rainbow, and their order?

🔗

4. Multiple-Choice, Randomized, One Answer.

What color is a stop sign? [Static versions retain the order as authored.]

🔗

Green
Green means “go!”.
Red
Red is universally used for prohibited activities or serious warnings.
White
White might be hard to see.

Hint 1.

6. Mathematical Multiple-Choice, Not Randomized, Multiple Answers.

Which of the following is an antiderivative of

2 \sin (x) \cos (x) ?

🔗

$\sin^{2} (x) + 832$
Remember that when we write $+ C$ on an antiderivative that this is the way we communicate that there are many possible derivatives, but they all “differ by a constant”.
$\sin^{2} (x)$
The derivative given in the statement of the problem looks exactly like an application of the chain rule to $\sin^{2} (x) .$
$- \cos^{2} (x)$
Take a derivative on $- \cos^{2} (x)$ to see that this answer is correct. Extra credit: does this answer “differ by a constant” when subtracted from either of the other two correct answers?
$- 2 \cos (x) \sin (x)$
The antiderivative of a product is not the product of the antiderivatives. Use the product rule to take a derivative and see that this answer is not correct.

Hint.

You can take a derivative on any one of the choices to see if it is correct or not, rather than using techniques of integration to find a single correct answer.

7. Multiple-Choice, Not Randomized, One Answer.

What color is a stop sign?

🔗

Note: we are experimenting with choices in columns (2025-05-17). Three columns here.

🔗

Green
Green means “go!”.
Red
Red is universally used for prohibited activities or serious warnings.
White
White might be hard to see.
Purple
Hmmmmmmm.
Pink
I have never seen a pink road sign!

Hint 1.

What did you see last time you went driving?

Hint 2.

Maybe go out for a drive?
