Buffy I love you - that is what I thought of too.\n\nBut my answer would be to track down the murderer.\n\nNo NO just kidding:\n\npoint' of no' return'\n\n\n1. Aviation.the point in a flight at which an aircraft will lack sufficient fuel to return to its starting point. \n2. the critical point in an undertaking, decision-making process, etc., where one has committed oneself irrevocably to a course of action or policy.\n\npoint of no return\nn. pl. points of no return \nThe point in a course of action beyond which reversal is not possible. \nThe point in the flight of an aircraft beyond which there is insufficient fuel for return to the starting point. \n \n\n[Download Now or Buy the Book] \nSource: The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition\nCopyright © 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.\nPublished by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. \n\n\npoint of no return\n\nThe place in a course of action beyond which reversal is not possible. For example, Once the contract is signed, we've reached the point of no return. This expression comes from aviation, where it signifies the point where an aircraft does not have enough fuel to return to the starting point. [c. 1940]\n\nPoint of no return\nSee also point of no return (disambiguation).\nThe point of no return or the Rubicon is the point at which someone, or some group of people, must continue on their current course of action. Either they physically cannot turn back, or doing so would be prohibitively expensive or dangerous.\n\nOrigins \nThe term point of no return arises from aviation, where it is the point in the flight of an aircraft beyond which the remaining fuel will be insufficient for a return to the starting point. Supposing that an immediate landing is not possible because, for example, the craft is crossing an ocean, passing the point of no return means that the pilot must proceed forward in the direction of the planned destination, or some alternate landing site, to avoid crashing.\nIn its metaphorical sense, passing the point of no return can be used synonymously with crossing the Rubicon—taking a course of action with significant and unreversible consequences.\n\nThe use of crossing the Rubicon derives from the crossing of the river Rubicon by Julius Caesar in 49 BC, who thereby violated Roman law and rendered armed conflict inevitable. As Caesar said at the time: "iacta alea est" ("the die is cast").\n\nCauses \nPoints of no return arise because many actions are not reversible. If a property developer decides to demolish a tower block to make way for a new stadium, the act of setting off the explosives is a point of no return. Once the tower block has been demolished, it cannot be undemolished (except by re-building it, which is expensive and time-costly).\nPoints of no return can arise because of sunk costs. Consider the act of travelling from Paris to Moscow by air. If the traveller decides to buy a non-refundable air ticket, then the cost of the ticket becomes a sunk cost. If the traveller subsequently discovers that it would have been cheaper to travel by rail, he or she cannot take advantage of that new knowledge without losing the cost of the air ticket, and can only regret the earlier choice.\n\nFalse Rubicons \nIn human behaviour in particular, individual as well as collective decision-making, point of no return has become a popular metaphor denoting a stage in an undertaking, project, or the like, where the person or people involved are unwilling to stop and think about what they are doing. Rather, they hasten to continue on their chosen course of action while ignoring counter-arguments or evidence that would suggest a change. This process of self-deception, in which a false point of no return is assumed, thus typically results in a real point of no return, and irrevocable commitment to the cause in question.\nThe flaw in the analogy concerns the inevitability of having to go on

you have to look at the line a determine the slope. \nEx. look for a point where it is on the exact "cross shape" and start from 5 and go up the y-axes untill the point at the exact "cross shape" and the point where you stop on the y-axes" is parrallel to the x-axes. Now, go horizonally to the "exact-cross-shape point". Count how many you go up and how many you go across. Those counts will be your slope and if you go to the left then slope is negative and if you go to the right then the slope is positive.

You can't really answer that question the way it was asked.  If you know a value of x or y, you can find the other value though.\n\nFor example, say you want to find the x-intercept (where y=0)\n\ny = 3x + 2\n0 = 3x + 2\n-2 = 3x\n-2/3 = x\n\nThere you go, you can do this for any point you know is on the line.

You always find things in the last place you look.\n\nGo to the last place you would look for anything and there it will be.

none untill you read the points section

ten points if you can figure this out first .. right?? \n\n\nANU!!

the u have to set it's Path.\nlook at in OPTON Menu. U will Find it.

Almost.  You would actually include the endpoints 0 and -3 (so you need to use a bracket instead of parentheses).\nD = [0, infinity)\nR = [-3, infinity)

none if they are false

when x is 0, find y. plot the point (0, <<whatever you got>>).\nwhen y is 0, find x. plot the point (<<whatever you got>>, 0).\nConnect those two points, and extend the line.

You have probably figured out that no number will make this statement true. But don't forget about zero. \nYou will also find problems where even zero does not work. In those cases, "no solution" is the correct answer.

How do I look at it from here?

There is no starting point and no ending point

Okay, I give up, whats the answer?

Think about the number bar... if you start at 'n' and then move 0 distance from it toward the left, you are still at 'n'.\n\nFor 0-n, you would start at 0, and move 'n' distance toward the left, so 0-n = -n ... the only case where 0-n=n, is when n=0.

A universal formula for all strategies does not exist. However this site has a lot of return formula and might have what you are looking for:\n\nhttp://www.poweropt.com/strategymenu.asp

I'd recommend graphing the function on a calculator (I use a TI-83) and use the 'trace' to find zeros.
