Solution for 0.17=x*(1-x) equation:


Simplifying
0.17 = x(1 + -1x)
0.17 = (1 * x + -1x * x)
0.17 = (1x + -1x2)

Solving
0.17 = 1x + -1x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
0.17 + -1x + x2 = 1x + -1x + -1x2 + x2

Combine like terms: 1x + -1x = 0
0.17 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -1x2 + x2
0.17 + -1x + x2 = -1x2 + x2

Combine like terms: -1x2 + x2 = 0
0.17 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.17' to each side of the equation.
0.17 + -1x + -0.17 + x2 = 0 + -0.17

Reorder the terms:
0.17 + -0.17 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -0.17

Combine like terms: 0.17 + -0.17 = 0.00
0.00 + -1x + x2 = 0 + -0.17
-1x + x2 = 0 + -0.17

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.17 = -0.17
-1x + x2 = -0.17

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = -0.17 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = -0.17 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.17 + 0.25 = 0.08
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 0.08
