Summary
Given an equation: f(x) = p*e-x + q*sin(x) + r*cos(x) + s*tan(x) + t*x2 + u = 0 and the values for p,q,r,s,t,u.

Find the value for x (if exists), where 0 <= x <= 1.

Explanation
The problem asks for the root of an equation. Since f is a non-increasing function on [0,1], it is sufficient to check the signs for f(0) and f(1) to determine whether there is a root in range [0,1]. There are at least three ways to find a root:


 * The simplest is the Bisection method. It took ~32 ms to answer all the judge's input.


 * A more effective way is the Secant method. It took ~20 ms to answer all the judge's input.


 * The most effective way is the Newton's method. It took ~12 ms to answer all the judge's input and it only requires at most 5 iterations to find the root.

Gotchas

 * Make sure that the root is computed with good precision (EPSILON <= 1e-7 is enough).

Implementations
The easiest to implement is the Bisection method:

A more effective root finding using Secant method:

The most effective is the Newton's method:
