The formulahint tag takes three parameters: answer, name, and samples. The ``name'' is the unique name given to the hint condition. The formula answer for which you wish to provide conditional is included in the answer parameter. The samples parameter includes the points (or range of points) over which sampling of the student's submitted answer and the formula included in the formula hint answer parameter are to be compared. The syntax is the same as used to specify sampling points in the samples parameter of the formula reponse tag itself. The formula submitted by the student is evaluated at the sample points for the hint and the calculated values are compared with the corresponding values determined by evaluating the ``hint'' answer at the same sampling points. A close correspondence between the two sets of values will trigger the hint action specified in the $<$hintpart$>$ tag.
