On quadratic congruences (Q843566)

Let \(r\) be an integer and \(\beta\) and \(n\) positive integers, with \(n\) odd. Let \(\rho^+(n)\) be the number of solutions of the congruence \(f^2+2rf\equiv \beta\pmod n\), \(0<f\leq n\), with the condition \(({f\over n})=1\) (where \((\cdot)\) is the Jacobi symbol), and let \(\rho^-(n)\) be an analogous quantity, but with negative Jacobi symbol. The author derives asymptotics for \(\sum_{n\leq x}\rho^{+}(n)\) and for \(\sum_{n\leq x}\rho^{-}(n)\), where the sum is over the odd integers \(n\leq x\).
