x +6y^2 = 2
:
6y^2 = -x +2
:
y^2 = (-x/6) + (1/3)
:
y = ( (-x/6) + (1/3) )^(1/2)
:
this is a parabola that opens to the left
:
the y intercept is (1/3)^(1/2) and x intercept is 2
:
Here is the graph showing the positive values for x and y
:

:
*********************************************************************
max value of Q is 2 * (1/3)^(1/2) = 1.1547 where x=2, y = (1/3)^(1/2)
