Solving for variable 'w'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
1 + 3.5w + w2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + 3.5w + -1 + w2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + 3.5w + w2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 3.5w + w2 = 0 + -1
3.5w + w2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
3.5w + w2 = -1

The w term is 3.5w.  Take half its coefficient (1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
3.5w + 3.0625 + w2 = -1 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + 3.5w + w2 = -1 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: -1 + 3.0625 = 2.0625
3.0625 + 3.5w + w2 = 2.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + 1.75)(w + 1.75) = 2.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.436140662
