=2t^2-t-2

Solution for =2t^2-t-2 equation:

Simplifying
0 = 2t2 + -1t + -2

Reorder the terms:
0 = -2 + -1t + 2t2

Solving
0 = -2 + -1t + 2t2

Solving for variable 't'.

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
2 + t + -2t2 = -2 + -1t + 2t2 + 2 + t + -2t2

Reorder the terms:
2 + t + -2t2 = -2 + 2 + -1t + t + 2t2 + -2t2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
2 + t + -2t2 = 0 + -1t + t + 2t2 + -2t2
2 + t + -2t2 = -1t + t + 2t2 + -2t2

Combine like terms: -1t + t = 0
2 + t + -2t2 = 0 + 2t2 + -2t2
2 + t + -2t2 = 2t2 + -2t2

Combine like terms: 2t2 + -2t2 = 0
2 + t + -2t2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-1 + -0.5t + t2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + -0.5t + 1 + t2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + -0.5t + t2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -0.5t + t2 = 0 + 1
-0.5t + t2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-0.5t + t2 = 1

The t term is t.  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.
-0.5t + 0.25 + t2 = 1 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.5t + t2 = 1 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25
0.25 + -0.5t + t2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(t + 0.5)(t + 0.5) = 1.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.118033989

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(t + 0.5) equal to 1.118033989 and -1.118033989.

Subproblem 1
t + 0.5 = 1.118033989

Simplifying
t + 0.5 = 1.118033989

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + t = 1.118033989

Solving
0.5 + t = 1.118033989

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + t = 1.118033989 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + t = 1.118033989 + -0.5
t = 1.118033989 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 1.118033989 + -0.5 = 0.618033989
t = 0.618033989

Simplifying
t = 0.618033989

Subproblem 2
t + 0.5 = -1.118033989

Simplifying
t + 0.5 = -1.118033989

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + t = -1.118033989

Solving
0.5 + t = -1.118033989

Solving for variable 't'.

Move all terms containing t to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + t = -1.118033989 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + t = -1.118033989 + -0.5
t = -1.118033989 + -0.5

Combine like terms: -1.118033989 + -0.5 = -1.618033989
t = -1.618033989

Simplifying
t = -1.618033989
