The difference of the roots of the first equation is sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)/a, which equals sqrt(b^2 - ac)/a. The second equation is formed by translating the roots by k, which preserves the difference between them, so its difference is sqrt(B^2 - 4AC)/A. Equating the identical differences gives sqrt(b^2 - ac)/a = sqrt(B^2 - AC)/A, and squaring both sides yields the statement (b^2 - ac)/a^2 = (B^2 - AC)/A^2.
