Solution for 2*(x+0.5)*(x+0.5)=0 equation:


Simplifying
2(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
2(0.5 + x)(x + 0.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
2(0.5 + x)(0.5 + x) = 0

Multiply (0.5 + x) * (0.5 + x)
2(0.5(0.5 + x) + x(0.5 + x)) = 0
2((0.5 * 0.5 + x * 0.5) + x(0.5 + x)) = 0
2((0.25 + 0.5x) + x(0.5 + x)) = 0
2(0.25 + 0.5x + (0.5 * x + x * x)) = 0
2(0.25 + 0.5x + (0.5x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 0.5x + 0.5x = 1x
2(0.25 + 1x + x2) = 0
(0.25 * 2 + 1x * 2 + x2 * 2) = 0
(0.5 + 2x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
0.5 + 2x + 2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

The x term is x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

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

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + x2 = -0.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
1.25 + x2 = 0.00

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 0.00

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.00

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 0.00 and 0.00.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 0.00 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 0.00 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 0.00 Solving 0.5 + x = 0.00 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = 0.00 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.00 + -0.5 x = 0.00 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.00 + -0.5 = -0.5 x = -0.5 Simplifying x = -0.5

Subproblem 2

x + 0.5 = 0.00 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 0.00 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 0.00 Solving 0.5 + x = 0.00 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = 0.00 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 0.00 + -0.5 x = 0.00 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.00 + -0.5 = -0.5 x = -0.5 Simplifying x = -0.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-0.5, -0.5}
