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

Divide each side by '16'.
-0.1875 + -4.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.1875' to each side of the equation.
-0.1875 + -4.5t + 0.1875 + t2 = 0 + 0.1875

Reorder the terms:
-0.1875 + 0.1875 + -4.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.1875

Combine like terms: -0.1875 + 0.1875 = 0.0000
0.0000 + -4.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.1875
-4.5t + t2 = 0 + 0.1875

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.1875 = 0.1875
-4.5t + t2 = 0.1875

The t term is -4.5t.  Take half its coefficient (-2.25).
Square it (5.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '5.0625' to each side of the equation.
-4.5t + 5.0625 + t2 = 0.1875 + 5.0625

Reorder the terms:
5.0625 + -4.5t + t2 = 0.1875 + 5.0625

Combine like terms: 0.1875 + 5.0625 = 5.25
5.0625 + -4.5t + t2 = 5.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -2.25)(t + -2.25) = 5.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.291287847
