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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + 4n + n2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + 4n + -0.5 + n2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + 4n + n2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4n + n2 = 0 + -0.5
4n + n2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
4n + n2 = -0.5

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

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
4n + 4 + n2 = -0.5 + 4
