randRangeNonZero( -10, 10 ) randRange( 1, 9 ) -( CONSTANT * CONSTANT ) $._("or")

Solve for `x`:

`(x - H)^2 + K = 0`

H + CONSTANT
H - CONSTANT
`x = {}` or `x = {}`

Add `abs( K )` to both sides so we can start isolating `x` on the left:

`\qquad (x - H)^2 = -K`

Take the square root of both sides to get rid of the exponent.

`\qquad \sqrt{(x - H)^2} = \pm \sqrt{-K}`

Be sure to consider both positive and negative `CONSTANT`, since squaring either one results in `-K`.

`\qquad x - H = \pm CONSTANT`

Add `abs( H )` to both sides to isolate `x` on the left: Subtract `abs( H )` from both sides to isolate `x` on the left:

`\qquad x = H \pm CONSTANT`

Add and subtract `CONSTANT` to find the two possible solutions:

`\qquad x = H + CONSTANT \quad \text{OR_TEXT} \quad x = H - CONSTANT`

Determine where `f(x)` intersects the `x`-axis.

`f(x) = (x - H)^2 + K`

The function intersects the `x`-axis where `f(x) = 0`, so solve the equation:

`\qquad (x - H)^2 + K = 0`
