Answer:


h=3, \ h=-5

Explanation:


(h+1)^2=16


(h+1)^2=16


√((h+1)^2) = \±√(16) <== you take the square root of both sides


(h+1) = \±\ 4 <== you take the square root of both sides


(h+1) = +\ 4, \ (h+1) = -\ 4 <== separate into 2 equations and solve


h+1 = 4, \ h+1 = -\ 4\\\\. \ -1 -1, \ \ \ \ -1\ \ \ \ -1\\\\h=3, \ h=-5

Hope this helps!
