Section 5.15 Polling

(2024-04-24) This section is experimental, and may not be fully functional as you view it. No markup in the source document is final and may change at any time.
We begin with standalone queries, using the <query> element. Runestone calls these polls. We plan structures/blocks such as <poll>, <survey>, and <questionnaire>, that will be structured collections of <query>.

    Which of the following is the derivative of \(f(x)=x^4\sin(x)\text{?}\)
  • 1.
    \(x^5 - \cos(x)\)
  • 2.
    \(x^4\cos(x) + 4x^3\sin(x)\)
  • 3.
    \(4x^3\cos(x)\)
    I like computer science better than mathematics. “1” is “strongly disagree” and “5” is “strongly agree”.
