Solution for 5u^2-u-2=0 equation:


Simplifying
5u2 + -1u + -2 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-2 + -1u + 5u2 = 0

Solving
-2 + -1u + 5u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.4 + -0.2u + u2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + -0.2u + 0.4 + u2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + -0.2u + u2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2u + u2 = 0 + 0.4
-0.2u + u2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
-0.2u + u2 = 0.4

The u term is -0.2u.  Take half its coefficient (-0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
-0.2u + 0.01 + u2 = 0.4 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + -0.2u + u2 = 0.4 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 0.01 = 0.41
0.01 + -0.2u + u2 = 0.41

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(u + -0.1)(u + -0.1) = 0.41

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.640312424

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(u + -0.1) equal to 0.640312424 and -0.640312424.

Subproblem 1

u + -0.1 = 0.640312424 Simplifying u + -0.1 = 0.640312424 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + u = 0.640312424 Solving -0.1 + u = 0.640312424 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + u = 0.640312424 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + u = 0.640312424 + 0.1 u = 0.640312424 + 0.1 Combine like terms: 0.640312424 + 0.1 = 0.740312424 u = 0.740312424 Simplifying u = 0.740312424

Subproblem 2

u + -0.1 = -0.640312424 Simplifying u + -0.1 = -0.640312424 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + u = -0.640312424 Solving -0.1 + u = -0.640312424 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + u = -0.640312424 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + u = -0.640312424 + 0.1 u = -0.640312424 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.640312424 + 0.1 = -0.540312424 u = -0.540312424 Simplifying u = -0.540312424

Solution
