v^2-2v+16=

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

Simplifying
v2 + -2v + 16 = 0

Reorder the terms:
16 + -2v + v2 = 0

Solving
16 + -2v + 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 + -2v + -16 + v2 = 0 + -16

Reorder the terms:
16 + -16 + -2v + v2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -2v + v2 = 0 + -16
-2v + v2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 0 + -16 = -16
-2v + v2 = -16

The v term is -2v.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2v + 1 + v2 = -16 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2v + v2 = -16 + 1

Combine like terms: -16 + 1 = -15
1 + -2v + v2 = -15

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -1)(v + -1) = -15

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
