h in (-oo:+oo)
(1/2)*h*(h+8) = 42 // - 42
(1/2)*h*(h+8)-42 = 0
1/2*h*(h+8)-42 = 0
1/2*h*(h+8)-42 = 0
1/2*h^2+4*h-42 = 0
1/2*h^2+4*h-42 = 0
1/2*h^2+4*h-42 = 0
DELTA = 4^2-(-42*1/2*4)
DELTA = 100
DELTA > 0
h = (100^(1/2)-4)/(1/2*2) or h = (-100^(1/2)-4)/(1/2*2)
h = 6 or h = -14
(h+14)*(h-6) = 0
(h+14)*(h-6) = 0
( h+14 )
h+14 = 0 // - 14
h = -14
( h-6 )
h-6 = 0 // + 6
h = 6
h in { -14, 6 }
