Solution for x^2-px-p^2=0 equation:


Simplifying
x2 + -1px + -1p2 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-1px + -1p2 + x2 = 0

Solving
-1px + -1p2 + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'p'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
px + p2 + -1x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
px + p2 + -1x2 + -1x2 = 0 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -1x2 + -1x2 = -2x2
px + p2 + -2x2 = 0 + -1x2
Remove the zero:
px + p2 + -2x2 = -1x2

The p term is px.  Take half its coefficient (0.5x).
Square it (0.25x2) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25x2' to each side of the equation.
x2 + p2 + -2x2 + 0.25x2 = -1x2 + 0.25x2

Reorder the terms:
p2 + x2 + -2x2 + 0.25x2 = -1x2 + 0.25x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -2x2 = -1x2
p2 + -1x2 + 0.25x2 = -1x2 + 0.25x2

Combine like terms: -1x2 + 0.25x2 = -0.75x2
p2 + -0.75x2 = -1x2 + 0.25x2

Combine like terms: -1x2 + 0.25x2 = -0.75x2
p2 + -0.75x2 = -0.75x2

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + 0.5x)(p + 0.5x) = -0.75x2

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
