s^2+0.2s+1=0

Solution for s^2+0.2s+1=0 equation:

Simplifying
s2 + 0.2s + 1 = 0

Reorder the terms:
1 + 0.2s + s2 = 0

Solving
1 + 0.2s + s2 = 0

Solving for variable 's'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + 0.2s + -1 + s2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + 0.2s + s2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 0.2s + s2 = 0 + -1
0.2s + s2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
0.2s + s2 = -1

The s term is 0.2s.  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.
0.2s + 0.01 + s2 = -1 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + 0.2s + s2 = -1 + 0.01

Combine like terms: -1 + 0.01 = -0.99
0.01 + 0.2s + s2 = -0.99

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(s + 0.1)(s + 0.1) = -0.99

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
