\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which has roots: x= -7 and x= -2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since it is not specified how h and k are related, there are two solutions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1) Assigning
\n" ); document.write( "h+1 = -7
\n" ); document.write( "k-2 = -2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "gives h=-8 and k=0
\n" ); document.write( "——

\n" ); document.write( "h+1 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "k-2 = -7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then h=-3 and k=-5 \r
