-2P^2+P=0

a = -2; b = 1; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·(-2)·0
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$P_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$P_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$P_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-1}{2*-2}=\frac{-2}{-4}
=1/2
$
$P_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+1}{2*-2}=\frac{0}{-4}
=0
