Task Commands

This is a complete overview of the task commands available for scripting in Algebrakit. These functions all support step-by-step guidance for students. Click a task for more information.

Note

The Algebrakit system processes task commands step by step. To initiate processing, wrap the command in the Simplify command.

Therefore, typical definitions look like:

exp:= Simplify[ Expand[ (x-1)(x+4) ] ]
sol:= Simplify[ Solve[exp=2, x] ]
