    Hello,

    I want to make a question with answer 20*log10(a) where a is a variable.

    I cannot save the question with that answer but I can save the equation with answer 20*log(a). The validator for the answer field seems not to recognize log10 function.

    Thanks.

    The documenation is here: http://www.open.edu/openlearnworks/mod/oucontent/view.php?id=52747&section=2.1.2 The list of supported functions is given just after figure 2.9. There is no log10 function. Both log and ln are natural logarithm. You will have to use the equivalence

    log10(x) = log(x)/log(10)

    varnumeric uses the same calculator library as the gradebook. In principle it might be possible to add a log10 function, or just a log(x, base) function of two arguemnts, but this would be a core change so you would need to open a feature request at https://tracker.moodle.org/ if there is not on there already.

    Almost certainly yes, although I have not tested it. If you have a test server, you could try it and let us know.
