Solution for w^2-w-36=0 equation:


Simplifying
w2 + -1w + -36 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-36 + -1w + w2 = 0

Solving
-36 + -1w + w2 = 0

Solving for variable 'w'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-36 + -1w + 36 + w2 = 0 + 36

Reorder the terms:
-36 + 36 + -1w + w2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0
0 + -1w + w2 = 0 + 36
-1w + w2 = 0 + 36

Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36
-1w + w2 = 36

The w term is -1w.  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.
-1w + 0.25 + w2 = 36 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1w + w2 = 36 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 36 + 0.25 = 36.25
0.25 + -1w + w2 = 36.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(w + -0.5)(w + -0.5) = 36.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.020797289
