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

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.5 + 2.25k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + 2.25k + 0.5 + k2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + 2.25k + k2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.25k + k2 = 0 + 0.5
2.25k + k2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
2.25k + k2 = 0.5

The k term is 2.25k.  Take half its coefficient (1.125).
Square it (1.265625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.265625' to each side of the equation.
2.25k + 1.265625 + k2 = 0.5 + 1.265625

Reorder the terms:
1.265625 + 2.25k + k2 = 0.5 + 1.265625

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1.265625 = 1.765625
1.265625 + 2.25k + k2 = 1.765625
