document.write( "It depends on how the question was worded.  If it asks you to describe a point on the graph of f(x) given some particular value of x, then an ordered pair with the coordinates x and the value of the function at x would be correct.  On the other hand, if the test question asked what the value of the function at some number was, then a single number answer would be appropriate.  If that doesn't make sense, write back giving me the <b><i>exact</i></b> wording of the question and any associated instructions.\r<BR>\n" );
