Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
-0.25 + 2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-0.25 + 2x + 0.25 + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
-0.25 + 0.25 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 0.25
2x + x2 = 0 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25
2x + x2 = 0.25

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

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2x + 1 + x2 = 0.25 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2x + x2 = 0.25 + 1

Combine like terms: 0.25 + 1 = 1.25
1 + 2x + x2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1)(x + 1) = 1.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.118033989
