Solving for variable 'g'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + -4g + g2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -4g + -0.5 + g2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -4g + g2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4g + g2 = 0 + -0.5
-4g + g2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-4g + g2 = -0.5

The g term is -4g.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4g + 4 + g2 = -0.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4g + g2 = -0.5 + 4

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 4 = 3.5
4 + -4g + g2 = 3.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(g + -2)(g + -2) = 3.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.870828693
