Create CVS file for Math Quiz Questions with Random Numbers

[TylerT1]

Hi everyone,

Is there a way I can create a cvs file that has random numbers for variables a, b, c, and d? These numbers are then used in create other numbers A, B , and C. Then create the question: Solve `A`x^2 + `B`x + `C` =0.

A = a*c

B = b*c + a*d

C = b*d

If so, what's needs to be in which column of the CVS file?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Tyler

Hi Tyler, 

In this instance, you could possibly setup a .xlsx file to be this way, but I'm not sure about a .csv file, however that would be a bit outside of this forums specialty. I would recommend looking more into RAND and the offerings from Excel or similar products, like in this Microsoft guide - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/rand-function-4cbfa695-8869-4788-8d90-021ea9f5be73, as this guide seems to be in the ballpark of what you're wanting to do.
