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

Divide each side by '4'.
-4 + 0.25k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 0.25k + 4 + k2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + 0.25k + k2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 0.25k + k2 = 0 + 4
0.25k + k2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
0.25k + k2 = 4

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.
0.25k + 0.25 + k2 = 4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.25k + k2 = 4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.25 = 4.25
0.25 + 0.25k + k2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 0.5)(k + 0.5) = 4.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.061552813

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(k + 0.5) equal to 2.061552813 and -2.061552813.

Subproblem 1

k + 0.5 = 2.061552813 Simplifying k + 0.5 = 2.061552813 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + k = 2.061552813 Solving 0.5 + k = 2.061552813 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 = 2.061552813 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + k = 2.061552813 + -0.5 k = 2.061552813 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 2.061552813 + -0.5 = 1.561552813 k = 1.561552813 Simplifying k = 1.561552813
