\(H(x)=(x^2)+1\ \ \ \ and\ \ \ \ K(x)=-(x^2)+4. \\\\K(H)=-(H^2)+4=-(x^2+1)^2+4=4-(x^2+1)^2=\\\\.\ \ \ =2^2-(x^2+1)^2=(2-x^2-1)(2+x^2+1)=(1-x^2)(3+x^2)=\\\\.\ \ \ =(1-x)(1+x)(x^2-3\cdot i^2)=(1-x)(1+x)(x- \sqrt{3} \cdot i)(x+ \sqrt{3} \cdot i)\\\\ K(H)=0\ \ \ \ \Leftrightarrow\ \ \ (1-x)(1+x)(x- \sqrt{3} \cdot i)(x+ \sqrt{3} \cdot i)=0\\\\x=1\ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ x=-1\ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ x=\sqrt{3} \cdot i\ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ x=-\sqrt{3} \cdot i\\\\Ans.\ e.\)
