Solving for variable 'P'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + P + P2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + P + 0.5 + P2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + P + P2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + P + P2 = 0 + 0.5
P + P2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
P + P2 = 0.5

The P term is P.  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 + P2 = 0.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + P2 = 0.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 0.25 = 0.75
1.25 + P2 = 0.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(P + 0.5)(P + 0.5) = 0.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.866025404

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(P + 0.5) equal to 0.866025404 and -0.866025404.
