Solution for v^2-v-4=0 equation:


Simplifying
v2 + -1v + -4 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-4 + -1v + v2 = 0

Solving
-4 + -1v + v2 = 0

Solving for variable 'v'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -1v + 4 + v2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -1v + v2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -1v + v2 = 0 + 4
-1v + v2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-1v + v2 = 4

The v term is -1v.  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.
-1v + 0.25 + v2 = 4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1v + v2 = 4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.25 = 4.25
0.25 + -1v + v2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(v + -0.5)(v + -0.5) = 4.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.061552813

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(v + -0.5) equal to 2.061552813 and -2.061552813.

Subproblem 1

v + -0.5 = 2.061552813 Simplifying v + -0.5 = 2.061552813 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + v = 2.061552813 Solving -0.5 + v = 2.061552813 Solving for variable 'v'. Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + v = 2.061552813 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + v = 2.061552813 + 0.5 v = 2.061552813 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 2.061552813 + 0.5 = 2.561552813 v = 2.561552813 Simplifying v = 2.561552813

Subproblem 2

v + -0.5 = -2.061552813 Simplifying v + -0.5 = -2.061552813 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + v = -2.061552813 Solving -0.5 + v = -2.061552813 Solving for variable 'v'. Move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + v = -2.061552813 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + v = -2.061552813 + 0.5 v = -2.061552813 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -2.061552813 + 0.5 = -1.561552813 v = -1.561552813 Simplifying v = -1.561552813

Solution
