Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
t + 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.
t + 0.25 + t2 = 1 + 0.25

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