let t=(y/x)  2t^2 −t+a≥0  1≤t≤3  case (A)  Δ=1−8a≤0 ⇒a≥(1/8)  or  Δ=1−8a≥0 ⇒a≤(1/8) and  case (C)                 case (B)  ((1−(√(1−8a)))/4)≥3 or ((1+(√(1−8a)))/4)≤1  −(√(1−8a))≥^(never) 11 or a≥−1    summary:   a≥(1/8) or −1≤a≤(1/8), i.e. a≥−1

if −15≤a≤(1/8) is right, then a=1 is  wrong. but 2t^2 −t+1 is always >0  for 1≤t≤3. that means a=1 is right.
