2p^2-4p+11=0

Solution for 2p^2-4p+11=0 equation:

Simplifying
2p2 + -4p + 11 = 0

Reorder the terms:
11 + -4p + 2p2 = 0

Solving
11 + -4p + 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'.
5.5 + -2p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5.5' to each side of the equation.
5.5 + -2p + -5.5 + p2 = 0 + -5.5

Reorder the terms:
5.5 + -5.5 + -2p + p2 = 0 + -5.5

Combine like terms: 5.5 + -5.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2p + p2 = 0 + -5.5
-2p + p2 = 0 + -5.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5.5 = -5.5
-2p + p2 = -5.5

The p term is -2p.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2p + 1 + p2 = -5.5 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2p + p2 = -5.5 + 1

Combine like terms: -5.5 + 1 = -4.5
1 + -2p + p2 = -4.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -1)(p + -1) = -4.5

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
