Solution for -5k^2+2k-1=0 equation:


Simplifying
-5k2 + 2k + -1 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 2k + -5k2 = 0

Solving
-1 + 2k + -5k2 = 0

Solving for variable 'k'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-5'.
0.2 + -0.4k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation.
0.2 + -0.4k + -0.2 + k2 = 0 + -0.2

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -0.2 + -0.4k + k2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4k + k2 = 0 + -0.2
-0.4k + k2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2
-0.4k + k2 = -0.2

The k term is -0.4k.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4k + 0.04 + k2 = -0.2 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4k + k2 = -0.2 + 0.04

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.04 = -0.16
0.04 + -0.4k + k2 = -0.16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + -0.2)(k + -0.2) = -0.16

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
