I know how graphical inequalities work pal, my problem is with the algebra, not the concept of an...

Homework Statement Determine the possible values that y can take for the graph y=x+2/3-x^2 Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution y=k k(3-x^2)=x+2 3k-kx^2=x+2 -kx^2+3k-x-2=0 I've tried factorising my k terms and much more faffing about to no avail...help please? :s
