Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.25 + k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.25' to each side of the equation.
-1.25 + k + 1.25 + k2 = 0 + 1.25

Reorder the terms:
-1.25 + 1.25 + k + k2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: -1.25 + 1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + k + k2 = 0 + 1.25
k + k2 = 0 + 1.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.25 = 1.25
k + k2 = 1.25

The k term is k.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + k2 = 1.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + k2 = 1.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + 0.25 = 1.5
1.25 + k2 = 1.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 0.5)(k + 0.5) = 1.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.224744871

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(k + 0.5) equal to 1.224744871 and -1.224744871.

Subproblem 1

k + 0.5 = 1.224744871 Simplifying k + 0.5 = 1.224744871 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + k = 1.224744871 Solving 0.5 + k = 1.224744871 Solving for variable 'k'. Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + k = 1.224744871 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + k = 1.224744871 + -0.5 k = 1.224744871 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.224744871 + -0.5 = 0.724744871 k = 0.724744871 Simplifying k = 0.724744871
