document.write( "You need to have  f(2) = 1/4,  or  \"a%2A2%5E2\" = \"1%2F4\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From this equation,  a = \"1%2F%284%2A4%29\" = \"1%2F16\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The value of \"a\" must be  \"1%2F4\".\r\n" );
