-11 + k + 8k2 = 0

Solving for variable 'k'.

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

Divide each side by '8'.
-1.375 + 0.125k + k2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.375' to each side of the equation.
-1.375 + 0.125k + 1.375 + k2 = 0 + 1.375

Reorder the terms:
-1.375 + 1.375 + 0.125k + k2 = 0 + 1.375

Combine like terms: -1.375 + 1.375 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.125k + k2 = 0 + 1.375
0.125k + k2 = 0 + 1.375

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.375 = 1.375
0.125k + k2 = 1.375

The k term is k.  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.
0.125k + 0.25 + k2 = 1.375 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.125k + k2 = 1.375 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1.375 + 0.25 = 1.625
0.25 + 0.125k + k2 = 1.625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(k + 0.5)(k + 0.5) = 1.625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.274754878
