Solution for 10k^2+3k-.4=0 equation:


Simplifying
10k2 + 3k + -0.4 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 3k + 10k2 = 0

Solving
-0.4 + 3k + 10k2 = 0

Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '10'.
-0.04 + 0.3k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.04 + 0.3k + 0.04 + k2 = 0 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
-0.04 + 0.04 + 0.3k + k2 = 0 + 0.04

Combine like terms: -0.04 + 0.04 = 0.00
0.00 + 0.3k + k2 = 0 + 0.04
0.3k + k2 = 0 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.04 = 0.04
0.3k + k2 = 0.04

The k term is 0.3k.  Take half its coefficient (0.15).
Square it (0.0225) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0225' to each side of the equation.
0.3k + 0.0225 + k2 = 0.04 + 0.0225

Reorder the terms:
0.0225 + 0.3k + k2 = 0.04 + 0.0225

Combine like terms: 0.04 + 0.0225 = 0.0625
0.0225 + 0.3k + k2 = 0.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 0.15)(k + 0.15) = 0.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.25

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(k + 0.15) equal to 0.25 and -0.25.

Subproblem 1

k + 0.15 = 0.25 Simplifying k + 0.15 = 0.25 Reorder the terms: 0.15 + k = 0.25 Solving 0.15 + k = 0.25 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.15' to each side of the equation. 0.15 + -0.15 + k = 0.25 + -0.15 Combine like terms: 0.15 + -0.15 = 0.00 0.00 + k = 0.25 + -0.15 k = 0.25 + -0.15 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.15 = 0.1 k = 0.1 Simplifying k = 0.1

Subproblem 2

k + 0.15 = -0.25 Simplifying k + 0.15 = -0.25 Reorder the terms: 0.15 + k = -0.25 Solving 0.15 + k = -0.25 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.15' to each side of the equation. 0.15 + -0.15 + k = -0.25 + -0.15 Combine like terms: 0.15 + -0.15 = 0.00 0.00 + k = -0.25 + -0.15 k = -0.25 + -0.15 Combine like terms: -0.25 + -0.15 = -0.4 k = -0.4 Simplifying k = -0.4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. k = {0.1, -0.4}
