Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
0.25 + -5u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + -5u + -0.25 + u2 = 0 + -0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25 + -5u + u2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -5u + u2 = 0 + -0.25
-5u + u2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.25 = -0.25
-5u + u2 = -0.25

The u term is -5u.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5u + 6.25 + u2 = -0.25 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5u + u2 = -0.25 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 6.25 = 6
6.25 + -5u + u2 = 6

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -2.5)(u + -2.5) = 6

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.449489743

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + -2.5) equal to 2.449489743 and -2.449489743.
