Solving
3 + 6p + 2p2 = 0

Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
1.5 + 3p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + 3p + -1.5 + p2 = 0 + -1.5

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + -1.5 + 3p + p2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3p + p2 = 0 + -1.5
3p + p2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.5 = -1.5
3p + p2 = -1.5

The p term is 3p.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3p + 2.25 + p2 = -1.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3p + p2 = -1.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 2.25 = 0.75
2.25 + 3p + p2 = 0.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + 1.5)(p + 1.5) = 0.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.866025404

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(p + 1.5) equal to 0.866025404 and -0.866025404.
