Solution for 1-x-5x^2=0 equation:


Simplifying
1 + -1x + -5x2 = 0

Solving
1 + -1x + -5x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-0.2 + 0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + 0.2x + 0.2 + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.2
0.2x + x2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
0.2x + x2 = 0.2

The x term is 0.2x.  Take half its coefficient (0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 0.2 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 0.2 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.01 = 0.21
0.01 + 0.2x + x2 = 0.21

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.1)(x + 0.1) = 0.21

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.458257569

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.1) equal to 0.458257569 and -0.458257569.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.1 = 0.458257569 Simplifying x + 0.1 = 0.458257569 Reorder the terms: 0.1 + x = 0.458257569 Solving 0.1 + x = 0.458257569 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation. 0.1 + -0.1 + x = 0.458257569 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.458257569 + -0.1 x = 0.458257569 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.458257569 + -0.1 = 0.358257569 x = 0.358257569 Simplifying x = 0.358257569

Subproblem 2

x + 0.1 = -0.458257569 Simplifying x + 0.1 = -0.458257569 Reorder the terms: 0.1 + x = -0.458257569 Solving 0.1 + x = -0.458257569 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.1' to each side of the equation. 0.1 + -0.1 + x = -0.458257569 + -0.1 Combine like terms: 0.1 + -0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -0.458257569 + -0.1 x = -0.458257569 + -0.1 Combine like terms: -0.458257569 + -0.1 = -0.558257569 x = -0.558257569 Simplifying x = -0.558257569
