Divide each side by '4'.
0.25 + -2.75u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + -2.75u + -0.25 + u2 = 0 + -0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25 + -2.75u + u2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -2.75u + u2 = 0 + -0.25
-2.75u + u2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.25 = -0.25
-2.75u + u2 = -0.25

The u term is -2.75u.  Take half its coefficient (-1.375).
Square it (1.890625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.890625' to each side of the equation.
-2.75u + 1.890625 + u2 = -0.25 + 1.890625

Reorder the terms:
1.890625 + -2.75u + u2 = -0.25 + 1.890625

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 1.890625 = 1.640625
1.890625 + -2.75u + u2 = 1.640625
