document.write( "Hi, 
\n" );
document.write( "requests to be played after release time x model: 
\n" );
document.write( "f(x)=x^2-5x+11
\n" );
document.write( "7 = x^2 - 5x + 11
\n" );
document.write( "-4 = x^2 - 5x 
\n" );
document.write( "x = 1 or x = 4  graph indicates that as well 
\n" );
document.write( "graph will be below the '7 line' when x is between 1 and 4
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
