Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-1.75 + -1p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.75' to each side of the equation.
-1.75 + -1p + 1.75 + p2 = 0 + 1.75

Reorder the terms:
-1.75 + 1.75 + -1p + p2 = 0 + 1.75

Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -1p + p2 = 0 + 1.75
-1p + p2 = 0 + 1.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.75 = 1.75
-1p + p2 = 1.75

The p term is -1p.  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.
-1p + 0.25 + p2 = 1.75 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1p + p2 = 1.75 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.75 + 0.25 = 2
0.25 + -1p + p2 = 2

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -0.5)(p + -0.5) = 2

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.414213562

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(p + -0.5) equal to 1.414213562 and -1.414213562.

Subproblem 1

p + -0.5 = 1.414213562 Simplifying p + -0.5 = 1.414213562 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + p = 1.414213562 Solving -0.5 + p = 1.414213562 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + p = 1.414213562 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + p = 1.414213562 + 0.5 p = 1.414213562 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 1.414213562 + 0.5 = 1.914213562 p = 1.914213562 Simplifying p = 1.914213562

Subproblem 2

p + -0.5 = -1.414213562 Simplifying p + -0.5 = -1.414213562 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + p = -1.414213562 Solving -0.5 + p = -1.414213562 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + p = -1.414213562 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + p = -1.414213562 + 0.5 p = -1.414213562 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -1.414213562 + 0.5 = -0.914213562 p = -0.914213562 Simplifying p = -0.914213562
