\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%281684%2F2%29\"$ = apx 29, the center
\n" ); document.write( "--> 28 & 30 (plus and minus)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "The hard way:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+%28x%2B2%29%5E2+=+1684\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2+%2B+4x+%2B+4+=+1684\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+840+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--> same answer \n" ); document.write( "
