Solution for v^2+3v-16= equation:


Simplifying
v2 + 3v + -16 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 3v + v2 = 0

Solving
-16 + 3v + v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + 3v + 16 + v2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + 3v + v2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + 3v + v2 = 0 + 16
3v + v2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
3v + v2 = 16

The v term is 3v.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3v + 2.25 + v2 = 16 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3v + v2 = 16 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 16 + 2.25 = 18.25
2.25 + 3v + v2 = 18.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + 1.5)(v + 1.5) = 18.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.272001873

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(v + 1.5) equal to 4.272001873 and -4.272001873.

Subproblem 1

v + 1.5 = 4.272001873 Simplifying v + 1.5 = 4.272001873 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + v = 4.272001873 Solving 1.5 + v = 4.272001873 Solving for variable 'v'. Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + v = 4.272001873 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + v = 4.272001873 + -1.5 v = 4.272001873 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 4.272001873 + -1.5 = 2.772001873 v = 2.772001873 Simplifying v = 2.772001873

Subproblem 2

v + 1.5 = -4.272001873 Simplifying v + 1.5 = -4.272001873 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + v = -4.272001873 Solving 1.5 + v = -4.272001873 Solving for variable 'v'. Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + v = -4.272001873 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + v = -4.272001873 + -1.5 v = -4.272001873 + -1.5 Combine like terms: -4.272001873 + -1.5 = -5.772001873 v = -5.772001873 Simplifying v = -5.772001873
