\n" );
document.write( "Using the vertex form of a parabola, \"y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk\" where(h,k) is the vertex
\n" );
document.write( " y = x^2-2x-3            |Completing the square
\n" );
document.write( " y = (x-1)^2 -4        |Vertex is Pt(1,-4)& a Minimum as Parbola opens upward (a> 0) x=1, the line of symmetry
\n" );
document.write( " 0 = (x-1)^2 -4      4 = (x-1)^2        x = 1 ± 2  {-1,3}
