Solution for 2v^2-4v-1=0 equation:


Simplifying
2v2 + -4v + -1 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-1 + -4v + 2v2 = 0

Solving
-1 + -4v + 2v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.5 + -2v + v2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -2v + 0.5 + v2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -2v + v2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2v + v2 = 0 + 0.5
-2v + v2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-2v + v2 = 0.5

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

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2v + 1 + v2 = 0.5 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2v + v2 = 0.5 + 1

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1 = 1.5
1 + -2v + v2 = 1.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -1)(v + -1) = 1.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.224744871

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(v + -1) equal to 1.224744871 and -1.224744871.

Subproblem 1

v + -1 = 1.224744871 Simplifying v + -1 = 1.224744871 Reorder the terms: -1 + v = 1.224744871 Solving -1 + v = 1.224744871 Solving for variable 'v'. Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + v = 1.224744871 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + v = 1.224744871 + 1 v = 1.224744871 + 1 Combine like terms: 1.224744871 + 1 = 2.224744871 v = 2.224744871 Simplifying v = 2.224744871
