You can put this solution on YOUR website!
H(s)= 2s^3-7s^2-43s-42 try s=0,1,2,-1,-2 etc..
we find that at s=2 ....H=0...HENCE S+2 IS A FACTOR
DIVIDING WITH S+2 WE GET
-2...|...2......-7.........-43.........-42
.....|...0......-4..........22..........42
..............................................
.........2......-11.........-21..........0
HENCE WE GET 2S^2-11S-21
=2S^2-14S+3S-21=2S(S-7)+3(S-7)=(2S+3)(S-7)..HENCE
H(S)=(S+2)(2S+3)(S-7)

I know the answer is 3/4 hour, but I'm having a hard time getting that using the old rate x time = distance method. Can you bail me out? I'm having a hard time getting that using the................................ old rate x time = distance method. Can you bail me out? your formula is ok but you have to understand relative speed cocept and use it ..it is as followsBrent rides a moped at 24 miles per hour...so in one hour he goes 24 miles in one directionHis wife Jan rides in the opposite direction at 8 miles per hour...so in one hour she goes 8 miles in opposite direction.so initially if they were together ,after 1 hour their distance of seperation is 24+8=32 miles as they were going in opposite directions.(just for your idea if they were going in same direction their distance of seperation would have been 24-8=16 miles)so now we define relative speed as sum of the 2 speeds if they are in opposite directions (and difference between 2 speeds ifthey are in same direction)so relative speed in this case =24+8=32 mph now for distance again you have to consider 2 aspects ..one...what is the distance between them at start it is 0 here as they started at the same place.....next...we have to use the distance between them at the end ..here it is 24 miles ...so the additional distance of seperation between them from begining to end is 24-0=24(had the start been not 0 distance ,you will account for that here) now for time same way as above for distance..both started at same time ...so begining time =0end time = not known =t say...so difference in time =t-0=tnow you can use your formula with 3 new terms..relative speed ,difference in distance,difference in time,inplace of speed ,distance and time....so we get rate x time = distance....gives32*t=24t=24/32=3/4 hour =3*60/4 =45 mts....hope it is clear...

Functions/22834: I believe this would be the best place to ask...Okay, this is a relation (set of ordered pairs) that I have to write an equation for. The set is :
(-3,10)(-2,5)(-1,2)(0,1)(1,2)(2,5)(3,10)
x : -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
y : 10, 5, 2, 1, 2, 5, 10
I'm supposed to divide the range differences by the domain differences :
range difference : 5, 3 1
domain difference : 1
But, if I divide 5/1, 3/1 and 1/1, I end up with 5, 3 and 1, as any number divided by 1 is that number. So where do I go from here and how do I get there???

I believe this would be the best place to ask...Okay, this is a relation (set of ordered pairs) that I have to write an equation for. The set is :
SEE MY COMMENTS BELOW
(-3,10)(-2,5)(-1,2)(0,1)(1,2)(2,5)(3,10)…OK
x : -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3………GOOD
y : 10, 5, 2, 1, 2, 5, 10 ………GOOD
I'm supposed to divide the range differences by the domain differences :THIS IS HINT GIVEN TO HELP YOU..OK…
range difference : 5, 3 1…THIS IS NOT CORRECT.IT IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO FOLLOW AN ORDER OR CONVENTION.SUBTRACT PREVIOUS ENTRY FROM SUCCEEDING ENTRY ALWAYS.SO THE RANGE DIFFERENCE IS –5,-3,-1,1,3,5.
domain difference : 1 ..CONSTANT ALWAYS..GOOD.HERE YOU FOLLOWED THE CONVNTION I MENTIONED ABOVE
But, if I divide 5/1, 3/1 and 1/1, I end up with 5, 3 and 1, as any number divided by 1 is that number…OK ..BUT YOU GET –5,-3,-1,1,3,5 AS WE CORRECTED ABOVE.
So where do I go from here and how do I get there???…LOOK AT THE OBJECTIVE..WE HAVE TO FIND A PATTERN..A HINT IS GIVEN..WE USED THE HINT AND GOT THE NUMBERS AS –5,-3,-1,1,3,5…THERE IS A PATTERN HERE..THEY STARTED WITH –5 AND INCREASED BY A CONSTANT DIFFERENCE OF 2 ..THAT GIVES US THE CLUE TO DERIVE THE RELATION
LET US CALL THE FIRST NUMBER AS X AS YOU NAMED IT .SECOND NUMBER IS Y.
SO WE GOT (X1,Y1),(X2,Y2)…ETC
AND NOW YOU HAVE TO FIND A RELATION BETWEEN X AND Y BY ANALYSING THEM SEPERATELY OR TOGETHER BY COMBINING THEM
LET ME SHOW YOU BOTH METHODS.
FIRSTLY LET US ANALYSE SEPERATELY.WE IND THAT BOTH ARE LINKED TO N THE NUMBER OF THE TERM.SO LET US TRY TO RELATE EACH WITH N WHICH WILL THEN GIVE US WHAT IS CALLED AS PARAMETRIC RELATION.THAT IS X IS RELATED TO N AND Y IS RELATED TO N .SO INDIRECTLY X AND Y ARE RELATED THROUGH A PARAMETER N.
LET US TAKE UP X FIRST.WE FOUND
X2-X1=1
X3-X2=1
X4-X3=1
X5-X4=1
Etc…..
X(N+1)-X(N)=1

LET US ADD THEM ALL TOGETHER..WE FIND THAT X2,X3,X4…X(N) CANCEL OUT LEAVING ONLY X(N+1)-X1 ON THE L.H.S…ON THE R.H.S. WE GET 1+1+1…N TIMES =1*N=N
HENCE WE GET X(N+1)-X1=N
BUT X1=-3…SO ….X(N+1)=N+X1=N-3..WE CAN CHECK BCK BY PUTTING N=0,1,2,3,…..ETC…WE GET X(0+1)=X1= 0-3,….X(1+1)=X2=1-3=-2…ETC..OK.
NOW LET US SEE Y ,WE FOUND
Y2-Y1=-5
Y3-Y2=-3
Y4-Y3=-1
Y5-Y4=1
Y6-Y5=3
Y7-Y6=5
ETC…..
Y(N+1)-YN= -5 +(N-1)*2= -5+2N-2=2N-7…….LET ME EXPLIN THIS TO YOU.WE FIND THE NUMBERS ON THE R.H.S ARE –5,-3,-1 ETC….DIFFERING BY A CONSTANT VALUE 2..THIS IS CALLED ARITHMATIC PROGRESSION(A.P)……. 2 ND TERM I OBTAINED BY ADDING 2 O THE FIRT TERM .THIRD TERM IS GOT BY ADDING 2*2 TO THE FIRST TERM.FOURTH IS OBTAINED BY ADDING 2*3 TO THE FIRST TERM……N TH TERM IS OBTAINED BY ADDING (N-1)*2 TO THE FIRST TERM
THE FORMULAE ARE …NTH TERM =TN=A+(N-1)*D WHERE A IS THE FIRST TERM AND D IS THE CONSTANT DIFFERENCE.
SUM OF N TERMS OF AN A.P. IS GIVEN BY
SN=(N/2){2A+(N-1)*D}…WHICH WE SHALL USE BELOW
NOW AS WE DID EARLIER LET US ADD ALL THE ABOVE TO GET
Y(N+1)-Y1={-5+(-3)+(-1)+1+3………..+(2N-7)}=AS PER THE FORMULA ABOVE
Y(N+1)-Y1=(N/2){2*(-5)+(N-1)*2}=(N/2){-10+2N-2}=(N/2)(2N-12)
=(N/2)2(N-6)=N(N-6)=N^2-6N….BUT Y1=10 SO WE GET
Y(N+1)-Y1=Y(N+1)-10=N^2-6N….OR…….
Y(N+1)=N^2-6N+10……LET US CHECK BACK BY PUTTING N+0,1,2,ETC….
Y(0+1)=Y1=0-0+10=10…OK
Y(1+1)=Y2=1-6+10=5…..OK
Y(2+1)=Y3=2^2-6*2+10=2……OK
Y(3+1)=Y4=3^2-6*3+10=1…….OK
Y(4+1)=Y5=4^2-6*4+10=2………OK
Y(5+1)=Y6=5^2-6*5+10=5…….OK
Y(6+1)=Y7=6^2-6*6+10=10…OK…
SO NOW WE GOT …Y(N+1)=N^2-6N+10
THIS TOGETHER WITH X(N+1)=N-3….GIVES US THE RELATION BETWEEN X AND Y IN TERMS OF ACOMMON PARAMETER N.
NOW IF WE WANT X AND Y DIRECTLY RELATED WE HAVE TO ELIMINATE N ..WE NOTE THAT X(N+1)=N-3…OR N=X(N+1)+3…BY PUTTING THIS IN EQUATION FOR Y(N+1)=N^2-6N+10,WE GET A DIRET RELATION BETWEEN X AND Y …
Y(N+1)={X(N+1)+3}^2-6{X(N+1)+3}+10
IF YOU ARE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH XN AND YN YOU CAN WRITE THE ABOVE AS
YN=(XN+3)^2-6(XN+3)+10......OR IN CONVENTIONAL FORM WE CAN WRITE THIS AS
Y=(X+3)^2-6(X+3)+10=X^2+9+6X-6X-18+10=X^2+1...OR
Y=X^2+1.....YOU CAN CHECK ALL THE ORDERED PAIRS AND THEY SATISFY THIS EQUATION

THE DATA IS SUPERFLUOUS AND ERRONEUS.IF IT TAKES 1/2 GALLON TO PAINT 530 SQ.FT.,IT SHOULD MAKE 3/4 GALLON SUFFICIENT TO PAINT 795 SQ.FT.SO LET US TAKE ONLY THE FIRST PART
LET THE SPACE TO BE FILLED =S SQ.FT.
LET THE PAINT REQD. = G GALLONS
BUT 1/2 GALLON CAN PAINT 530 SQ.FT
SO 1 GALLON CAN PAINT 530*2=1060 SQ.FT
SO G GALLONS CAN PAINT 1060*G SQ.FT = S SQ.FT. WE CALLED SO THE EQN.IS
S=1060G .................

Answer 11236 by venugopalramana(3286) About Me  on 2005-12-17 07:07:33 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
LET TIME TAKEN BY REENA ALONE TO DO 1 JOB =X HRS
BILLY ALONE TAKES 2 HRS. MORE =X+2
SO REENA CAN DO ALONE IN 1 HOUR =1/X JOB
BILLY CAN DO ALONE IN 1 HOUR =1/(X+2) JOB
TOGETHER THEY CAN DO IN 1 HR.=(1/X)+(1/(X+2)) JOB
IN 2 HRS TOGETHER THEY CAN DO =2*{(1/X)+(1/(X+2))} JOB
NOW REENA LEFT AND BILL ONLY WORKED FOR 1 HOUR = BILLY ALONE DOES 1/(X+2) JOB IN 1 HOUR
SO TOTAL JOB DONE =2*{(1/X)+(1/(X+2))}+(1/(X+2)) JOB..BUT THIS COMPLETED THE 1 JOB .SO
2*{(1/X)+(1/(X+2))}+(1/(X+2)) =1
2/(X)+2/(X+2)+1/(X+2)=1..L.C.M IS (X)(X+2)
{2(X+2)+2(X)+1(X)}/(X)(X+2)=1
MULTIPLYING BY LCM (X)(X+2) BOTH SIDES WE GET
2X+4+2X+X=(X)(X+2)=X^2+2X
5X+4=X^2+2X
X^2+2X-5X-4=0
X^2-3X-4=0
X^2-4X+X-4=0
X(X-4)+(X-4)=0
(X+1)(X-4)=0
X-4=0
X=4
SO REENA CAN DO THE JOB IN 4 HRS AND BILL CAN DO IN X+2=4+2=6 HRS THE JOB.

Answer 8067 by venugopalramana(454) About Me on 2005-10-22 01:41:44 (Show Source):
there is a procedure for short division called horner's method which can be used here. i shall show you 2 examples ..rest you can do in a similar manner..
first write the given expression in decreasing order of powers listing missing terms also as zeros...
For example x^3-1 = 1*x^3+0*x^2+0*x-1..........(A)
now check if we have the divisor in the form of x+a or x-a or not .we have here x-1 which is in the form x-a...then let x-1 =0 which gives us x=1...(B)
now do the division as follows
write 1 0 0 -1......these are coefficients of powers of x obtained above under (A)from the problem
put 1 as divisor as obtained under (B) above
do as follows
divisor...1|.. 1..0..0..-1......row 1
...........|.. 0..1..1..1.......row 2
----------------------------------------------
...........|...1..1..1..0 ......row 3
explanation: row 1 has divisor on the left as 1 followed by a seperation bracket..then put coefficients of powers of x obtained above under (A)from the problem in different columns
row 2 ..start with a zero under the coefficient in row 1 in 1st.column..now add the row 1 and row 2 numbers in 1st. column (which are there vertically one below the other )and put the sum under the same column in row 3...here 1+0=1..now multiply this number in row 3 with divisor and put it in row 2 in second column...now add numbers in row 1 and row 2 in column 2 put the sum in row 3 under same column no.2....repeat the procedure till the end
row 3 represents the quotient and remainder...number in last column in row 3 is remainder here it is zero.the other numbers read from right to left give the coefficients of increasing powers of x ...that is the answer on division is 1x^2+1x+1..remainder =0
to explain i am giving another example below...x^2-5x+6 devide by x-3
put x-3 =0 so x=3 is the divisor...
3] 1 -5 6
..... 0 3 -6
--------------
..... 1 -2 0 answer is x-2 and remainder is 0

I THINK I ANSWERED THIS QUESTION GIVING EXAMPLES.IF YOU HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD IT,LET ME SOLVE..THE KEY IN THESE PROBLEMS IS TO FIND WORK DONE PER UNIT TIME FIRST FROM GIVEN DATA,COMBINE THEM AS REQUIRED AND THEN FIND THE TIME REQUIRED TO DO THE FULL JOB(THAT IS REVERSE THE FIRST STEP)WE HAVE....
SALLY CAN PAINT 1 HOUSE IN 4 HRS..SO IN 1 HR SHE CAN DO 1/4 HOUSE
JOHN CAN PAINT 1 HOUSE IN 6 HRS...SO IN 1 HR HE CAN PAINT 1/6 HOUSE...
SO TOGETHER THEY CAN PAINT 1/4 +1/6 HOUSE IN 1 HR =(3+2)/12 HOUSE IN 1 HR.=5/12 HOUSE IN 1 HOUR....
SO FULL HOUSE THEY CAN PAINT IN 1/(5/12)=12/5=2.4 HRS.=2HRS AND 0.4*60=24 MTS.OR 2HRS 24 MTS. TIME.

Answer 9969 by venugopalramana(390) on 2005-11-28 07:14:11 (Show Source):
the 4 column heads represent x,y,z and constant term in the matrix of system of eqns.
then each row gives us one eqn.like say row 1 gives us that 7x-7y+5z=9..etc…
hence if we can make the matrix to become
1 0 0 ?
0 1 0 ??
0 0 1 ???
then from the explantion given above it means 1x=?.1y=?? And 1z=???
so we try to transform the matrix in to that form..by the following steps.
in fact using the above explanation,you can see that what we do at each step is just
divide each eqn. with a constant/add/subtract etc which does not change the basic
eqn.for ex. dividing row 1 by 7 means change the given eqn.7x-7y+5z=9 to x-y+5z/7=9/7
legend:- or1 means old row 1..nr1 means new row 1…r1 means the existing row 1 please note that no changes are made in rows other than those mentioned at each step.
start with given matrix …
7...... -7..... 5...... 9
9...... 5...... -7..... -17
6...... 1...... -7..... -2
step 1…we want to make 1st.row 1st.column as 1….so….nr1=or1/7...
1...... -1..... (5/7).. (9/7)
9...... 5...... -7..... -17
6...... 1...... -7..... -2
step 2..we want to make 2nd/3rd.rows,col.1 as 0...so...nr2=or2-9*r1........nr3=or3-6*r1
1...... -1..... (5/7).. (9/7)
0... 14..... (-7-9*5/7).... (-17-9*9/7)
0...... 7...... (-7-6*5/7)..... (-2-6*9/7)
step 3…we want to make 2nd.row.2nd.col.as 1..so..nr2=or2/14
1...... -1..... 5/7.... 9/7
0...... 1...... (-94/7)/14..... (-200/7)/14
0...... 7...... (-7-6*5/7)..... (-2-6*9/7)
step 4..we want to make 3rd.row.2nd.col.as 0…so….nr3=or3-7*r2
1...... -1..... (5/7).. (9/7)
0...... 1...... (-94/7)/14..... (-200/7)/14
0 0 (-79/7)-7*(-94/98) (68/7)-7*(-200/98)
step 5….we want to make 3rd.row.3rd.col.as 1…so….nr3=or3/(-32/7)
1...... -1..... (5/7).. (9/7)
0...... 1...... (-94/98)... (-200/98)
0...... 0..... 1...... -1
step 6…we want to make 1st/2nd.row 3rd.col.as 0..so..nr1=or1-5*r3/7...nr2=or2+94*r3/98
1...... -1..... 0..... 2
0...... 1...... 0...... -3
0...... 0...... 1...... -1
step7….we want to make 1st.row 2nd.col.as 0..so….nr1=or1+r2
1...... 0...... 0...... -1
0...... 1...... 0...... -3
0...... 0...... 1...... -1
so x=-1.....y=-3.....and z=-1...you can check back

trust you want to solve the equations for x,y and z and you are at this stage now....assuming that .....our objective is to finally get the matrix if possible into the following form ....(i am using ....to seperate the numbers with suitable gaps..your typing is giving raise to uneven gaps bringing a little lack of clarity)
1.....0.....0.....x
0.....1.....0.....y
0.....0.....1.....z
now we have
1......28.....14.....245
0.......3......7......42
0.......7......7.....-38
new row2=old row2/3.......to get 1 as required in row2.so we get...
1......28.....14.....245
0......3/3....7/3....42/3
0.......7......7.....-38
new row3=oldrow3-7*row2 to get 0 as required in row3
1......28.....14...........245
0.......1.....7/3...........14
0......7-7*1..7-7*7/3......-38-7*14
new row3 = old row3/(-28/3)..to get 1 as required in row3
1......28.....14...................245
0.......1.....7/3...................14
0.......0....(-28/3)/(-28/3).....(-136)/(-28/3)
this gives us finally in the following form
1......28.....14............245
0.......1.....7/3...........14
0.......0......1............102/7
now we go back in the same way to get 0 in row2 and row3
new row2=old row2-row3*7/3...and new row1=old row1-row3*14...so we get
1......28......14-1*14.......245-(102/7)*14
0.......1.......7/3-(7/3)*1...14-(102/7)*(7/3)
0.......0.........1.............102/7
the above on simplification gives us
1.......28.......0..........41
0........1.......0..........-20
0........0.......1..........102/7
now finally we take new row1=old row1-28*row2
1.......28-28*1......0.......41-(-28*20)
0........1.......0...........-20
0........0.......1...........102/7
so the final answer is
1......0.......0.......601
0......1.......0.......-20
0......0.......1.......102/7
which tells us that
1*x+0*y+0*z=x=601
0*x+1*y+0*z=y=-20
0*x+0*y+1*z=z=102/7
note that each and every transformation we did above can be interpreted as given in the last statement given above...this i hope will give you the insight of the process at every step.you can also substitute these values of x,y and z in each and every matrix above to see that they satify all the equations given by the different matrices..in general each mtrix can be taken as a set of simltanous equations in x,y and z...they can be written as follows..take column 1 is for x,column 2 is for y and column 3 is for z.so the first matrix you gave
1......28.....14.....245
0.......3......7......42
0.......7......7.....-38
tells us that
1*x+28*y+14*z=245....etc...


Complex_Numbers/22161: 3. Sometimes, we can take a weighted approach to calculating the mean. Take our example of high temperatures in July. Suppose it was 98°F on 7 days, 96°F on 14 days, 88°F on 1 day, 100°F on 6 days and 102°F on 3 days. Rather than adding up 31 numbers, we can find the mean by doing the following:
Mean = ( 1 x 88 + 14 x 96 + 7 x 98 + 6 x 100 + 3 x 102) / 31
…where 1, 14, 7, 6, and 3 are the weights or frequency of a particular temperature’s occurrence. Then we divide by the total of number of occurrences.
Suppose we are tracking the number of home runs hit by the Boston Red Sox during the month of August:
Number of Games HRs Hit each Day
2 3
5 2
6 1
7 0
Using the weighted approach, calculate the average number of home runs per game hit by the Sox.

Why will some numbers come up more frequently than others?
Each die has six sides numbered from 1 to 6. How many possible ways can a number be rolled? In other words, we can roll (2,3) or (3,2) or (6,1) and so on. What are the total (x,y) outcomes that can occur?
How might you then estimate the percentage of the time a particular number will come up if the dice are rolled over and over?
Once these percentages have been calculated, how might the mean value of the all the numbers thrown be determined?

Determine if the ordered pair (0,2) is a solution of -3x + y = -2 ....IT MEANS YOU SUBSTITUTE 0 FOR X AND 2 FOR Y IN THE GIVEN EQN.AND VERIFY WHETHER IT IS SATISFIED OR NOT...THAT IS IN THIS CASE FIND L.H.S.AND R.H.S. SEPERATELY AND CHECK WHETHER THEY COME OUT SAME OR NOT
L.H.S=-3X+Y=-3*0+2=0+2=2
R.H.S.=-2...
SO L.H.S IS NOT EQUAL TO R.H.S.
HENCE (0,2)IS NOT A SOLUTION OF THE GIVEN EQN.

simplify,
16x^7y^2 =
____________
2^x2
i came up with 8x^5y^2......VERY GOOD CORRECT...BUT YOU BETTER TYPE THIS AS
simplify,
16(x^7)(y^2) =
____________
2(x^2)
i came up with 8(x^5)(y^2)TO MAKE IT AMPLY CLEAR

I THINK I ANSWERED THIS QUESTION GIVING EXAMPLES.IF YOU HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD IT,LET ME SOLVE..THE KEY IN THESE PROBLEMS IS TO FIND WORK DONE PER UNIT TIME FIRST FROM GIVEN DATA,COMBINE THEM AS REQUIRED AND THEN FIND THE TIME REQUIRED TO DO THE FULL JOB(THAT IS REVERSE THE FIRST STEP)WE HAVE....
SALLY CAN PAINT 1 HOUSE IN 4 HRS..SO IN 1 HR SHE CAN DO 1/4 HOUSE
JOHN CAN PAINT 1 HOUSE IN 6 HRS...SO IN 1 HR HE CAN PAINT 1/6 HOUSE...
SO TOGETHER THEY CAN PAINT 1/4 +1/6 HOUSE IN 1 HR =(3+2)/12 HOUSE IN 1 HR.=5/12 HOUSE IN 1 HOUR....
SO FULL HOUSE THEY CAN PAINT IN 1/(5/12)=12/5=2.4 HRS.=2HRS AND 0.4*60=24 MTS.OR 2HRS 24 MTS. TIME.

16t^2 -180+464?..TAKE OUT COMMON FACTOR IF ANY FIRST..HERE 4 IS COMMON...SO..
=4(4T^2-45T+116)...NOW TAKE THE PRODUCT OF T^2 AND CONSTANT TERMS=4*116=464..TRY TO FIND 2 FACTORS FOR THIS PRODUCT WHOSE SUM IS THE COEFFICIENT OF X TERM =-45...WE HAVE (-16)*(-29)=+464 AND -16-29=-45...SO NOW REWRITE THE GIVEN EXPRESSION BREAKING MIDDLE TERM OF -45T AS -16T-29T AND TAKE OUT COMMON FACTORS..
=4(4T^2-16T-29T+116)
=4{4T(T-4)-29(T-4)}
=4(T-4)(4T-29)

h(x)=-2x^2+6x-3

so far I have done is -2(x^2-3x)-3....OK
I'm not sure if I am suppose to find the perfect square ....YES DO IT ...YOU HAVE TO USE THE GIVEN X^2 AND X TERMS TO MAKE A PERFECT SQUARE
=-2(X^2-2*1.5*X+1.5^2-1.5^2)-3
=-2{X-1.5)^2-1.5^2}-3
=-2(X-1.5)^2+2*1.5*1.5-3
=-2(X-1.5)^2+1.5=Y SAY...Y=1.5-2(X-1.5)^2
NOW ,WE REASON OUT THAT (X-1.5)^2 BEING PERFECT SQUARE IT IS ALWAYS POSITIVE. SO ITS MIIMUM VALUE IS ZERO WHEN X=1.5
NOW WHEN THIS IS ZERO,Y WILL BECOME MAXIMUM SINCE WE ARE SUBTRACTING THE MINIMUM POSSIBLE VALUE FROM 1.5....YO Y HAS A MAXIMUM VALUE OR VERTEX AT X=1.5
