numbers 1-3

#4

This graph shows the 4 roots with the associated theta

x1=5    (x2,y2)=(0,6)    L1=L3=3    L2=3^(1/2)    y=p/4    p1=p2=5   p3=3

root at -.3310	root at -.7208

root at 2.1159	root at 1.1437

#5

Strut was changed to 6.99, thus we found 6 roots instead of only 4 roots just by changing one of the struts

x1=5    (x2,y2)=(0,6)    L1=L3=3    L2=3^(1/2)    y=p/4    p1=5    p2=6.99    p3=3

#6

We tried different integer values of p2 to see if we can get a graph with only two roots, result was p2=4

x1=5    (x2,y2)=(0,6)    L1=L3=3    L2=3^(1/2)    y=p/4    p1=5    p2=4    p3=3
