Solving for variable 'k'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-8 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-8'.
-1.125 + 0.5k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.125' to each side of the equation.
-1.125 + 0.5k + 1.125 + k2 = 0 + 1.125

Reorder the terms:
-1.125 + 1.125 + 0.5k + k2 = 0 + 1.125

Combine like terms: -1.125 + 1.125 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.5k + k2 = 0 + 1.125
0.5k + k2 = 0 + 1.125

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.125 = 1.125
0.5k + k2 = 1.125

The k term is 0.5k.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5k + 0.0625 + k2 = 1.125 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5k + k2 = 1.125 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 1.125 + 0.0625 = 1.1875
0.0625 + 0.5k + k2 = 1.1875

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 0.25)(k + 0.25) = 1.1875

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.089724736
