Check a quadratic equation and ordered pair in a table

Questions
1

We are working on quadratics in standard and vertex form and finding zeros and vertex. I would like to be able to check that an equation that they have typed into the table is correct same with an ordered pair. I don’t know if it would be better to have them in a different component. Here is the slide I am trying to get to work.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Since you want them to have a particular form, I recommend using countNumberUsage for the h and k (though I didn’t need the negative for the k). If you don’t check the form somehow, they will be able to just enter the given form to get a check for three points matching.

Since it’s a quadratic, it’s uniquely defined with 3 ordered pairs, so maybe check three points.

When I’m filling in a table as a student, I am happier if there’s not an x by my work where I’m typing, so I added more conditionals on the suffix.

f = simpleFunction("x^{2}+6x-2")
input = simpleFunction(this.cellContent(1,2))

check12 = 
f.evaluateAt(0)=input.evaluateAt(0) and 
f.evaluateAt(1)=input.evaluateAt(1) and 
f.evaluateAt(2)=input.evaluateAt(2) and 
countNumberUsage(this.cellContent(1,2),3)=1 and 
countNumberUsage(this.cellContent(1,2),11)=1 

cellSuffix(1,2): 
when this.cellHasFocus(1,2) or this.cellContent(1,2)="" or button8.timeSincePress = 0 "" 
otherwise when check12 "✅" otherwise "❌"
