3 + -4t + -2t2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-1.5 + 2t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + 2t + 1.5 + t2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + 2t + t2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2t + t2 = 0 + 1.5
2t + t2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
2t + t2 = 1.5

The t term is 2t.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2t + 1 + t2 = 1.5 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2t + t2 = 1.5 + 1

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 1 = 2.5
1 + 2t + t2 = 2.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 1)(t + 1) = 2.5
