Fun problem!
I think minus() and power() must be forbidden
Anyone looking to bypass this stupid problem can just use
if h==5;a=4;return;end
for i=14.8324:0.000001:15.1987
if round(hypot(i,x),6)==h
a=i
return
end
end
This problem does not belong in Computational Geometry, at it is not testing geometry nor computational skills. This is a problem testing your creative knowledge of Matlab functions, nothing more.
