HOW TO ANSWER A QUESTION

On exams and homework sets, the way you express your solutions is important! Except where all you are doing is the very calculation I explicitly asked you to do, indicate clearly what you are doing, and why—you may get reduced or no credit for the right answer obtained for the wrong reason or no reason at all! Write in complete mathematical sentences. Arrange each answer so that the order of its parts is unambiguous.
