p-1*p^2-49=

Solution for p-1*p^2-49= equation:

Simplifying
p + -1p2 + -49 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-49 + p + -1p2 = 0

Solving
-49 + p + -1p2 = 0

Solving for variable 'p'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
49 + -1p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-49' to each side of the equation.
49 + -1p + -49 + p2 = 0 + -49

Reorder the terms:
49 + -49 + -1p + p2 = 0 + -49

Combine like terms: 49 + -49 = 0
0 + -1p + p2 = 0 + -49
-1p + p2 = 0 + -49

Combine like terms: 0 + -49 = -49
-1p + p2 = -49

The p term is p.  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.
-1p + 0.25 + p2 = -49 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1p + p2 = -49 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -49 + 0.25 = -48.75
0.25 + -1p + p2 = -48.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + 0.5)(p + 0.5) = -48.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
