Plotting a high order function

I just solved a differential equation numerically (and solved a system of 11 eq. 11 unknowns), which is denoted by my S-variable, and am trying to plot the solution against x (same x as for the Analytical Solution -- x = 0:del_x:L). When I try to plot(x,f2(x,S)), or even plot(x,f2(x,S(1),S(2),S(3),etc.)), I get an error stating, "Too many inputs".
What am I missing in my code?
Thanks in advance!

plot(x,f2(x),'.k')
give the necessary input values to functions created.

There it is! -- I thought I already tried that (but I guess not).
