Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + 2.5k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + 2.5k + -0.5 + k2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + 2.5k + k2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.5k + k2 = 0 + -0.5
2.5k + k2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
2.5k + k2 = -0.5

The k term is 2.5k.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5k + 1.5625 + k2 = -0.5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5k + k2 = -0.5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 1.5625 = 1.0625
1.5625 + 2.5k + k2 = 1.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 1.25)(k + 1.25) = 1.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.030776406

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(k + 1.25) equal to 1.030776406 and -1.030776406.

Subproblem 1

k + 1.25 = 1.030776406 Simplifying k + 1.25 = 1.030776406 Reorder the terms: 1.25 + k = 1.030776406 Solving 1.25 + k = 1.030776406 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation. 1.25 + -1.25 + k = 1.030776406 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + k = 1.030776406 + -1.25 k = 1.030776406 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 1.030776406 + -1.25 = -0.219223594 k = -0.219223594 Simplifying k = -0.219223594

Subproblem 2

k + 1.25 = -1.030776406 Simplifying k + 1.25 = -1.030776406 Reorder the terms: 1.25 + k = -1.030776406 Solving 1.25 + k = -1.030776406 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation. 1.25 + -1.25 + k = -1.030776406 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + k = -1.030776406 + -1.25 k = -1.030776406 + -1.25 Combine like terms: -1.030776406 + -1.25 = -2.280776406 k = -2.280776406 Simplifying k = -2.280776406
