Solution for 18+2k-5k^2=0 equation:


Simplifying
18 + 2k + -5k2 = 0

Solving
18 + 2k + -5k2 = 0

Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '-5'.
-3.6 + -0.4k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.6' to each side of the equation.
-3.6 + -0.4k + 3.6 + k2 = 0 + 3.6

Reorder the terms:
-3.6 + 3.6 + -0.4k + k2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: -3.6 + 3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4k + k2 = 0 + 3.6
-0.4k + k2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.6 = 3.6
-0.4k + k2 = 3.6

The k term is -0.4k.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4k + 0.04 + k2 = 3.6 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4k + k2 = 3.6 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 3.6 + 0.04 = 3.64
0.04 + -0.4k + k2 = 3.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + -0.2)(k + -0.2) = 3.64

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.907878403

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(k + -0.2) equal to 1.907878403 and -1.907878403.

Subproblem 1

k + -0.2 = 1.907878403 Simplifying k + -0.2 = 1.907878403 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + k = 1.907878403 Solving -0.2 + k = 1.907878403 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + k = 1.907878403 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + k = 1.907878403 + 0.2 k = 1.907878403 + 0.2 Combine like terms: 1.907878403 + 0.2 = 2.107878403 k = 2.107878403 Simplifying k = 2.107878403

Subproblem 2

k + -0.2 = -1.907878403 Simplifying k + -0.2 = -1.907878403 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + k = -1.907878403 Solving -0.2 + k = -1.907878403 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + k = -1.907878403 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + k = -1.907878403 + 0.2 k = -1.907878403 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -1.907878403 + 0.2 = -1.707878403 k = -1.707878403 Simplifying k = -1.707878403
