Solution for 5*t^2-2*t-4=0 equation:


Simplifying
5t2 + -2t + -4 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-4 + -2t + 5t2 = 0

Solving
-4 + -2t + 5t2 = 0

Solving for variable 't'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.8 + -0.4t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + -0.4t + 0.8 + t2 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + -0.4t + t2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4t + t2 = 0 + 0.8
-0.4t + t2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
-0.4t + t2 = 0.8

The t term is -0.4t.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4t + 0.04 + t2 = 0.8 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4t + t2 = 0.8 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.8 + 0.04 = 0.84
0.04 + -0.4t + t2 = 0.84

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + -0.2)(t + -0.2) = 0.84

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.916515139

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + -0.2) equal to 0.916515139 and -0.916515139.

Subproblem 1

t + -0.2 = 0.916515139 Simplifying t + -0.2 = 0.916515139 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + t = 0.916515139 Solving -0.2 + t = 0.916515139 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + t = 0.916515139 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + t = 0.916515139 + 0.2 t = 0.916515139 + 0.2 Combine like terms: 0.916515139 + 0.2 = 1.116515139 t = 1.116515139 Simplifying t = 1.116515139

Subproblem 2

t + -0.2 = -0.916515139 Simplifying t + -0.2 = -0.916515139 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + t = -0.916515139 Solving -0.2 + t = -0.916515139 Solving for variable 't'. Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + t = -0.916515139 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + t = -0.916515139 + 0.2 t = -0.916515139 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.916515139 + 0.2 = -0.716515139 t = -0.716515139 Simplifying t = -0.716515139
