y^2+y+0.25=0

Solution for y^2+y+0.25=0 equation:

Simplifying
y2 + y + 0.25 = 0

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + y + y2 = 0

Solving
0.25 + y + y2 = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.25 + y + -0.25 + y2 = 0 + -0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -0.25 + y + y2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00
0.00 + y + y2 = 0 + -0.25
y + y2 = 0 + -0.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.25 = -0.25
y + y2 = -0.25

The y term is y.  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.
y + 0.25 + y2 = -0.25 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + y + y2 = -0.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00
0.25 + y + y2 = 0.00

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) = 0.00

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.00

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + 0.5) equal to 0.00 and 0.00.

Subproblem 1
y + 0.5 = 0.00

Simplifying
y + 0.5 = 0.00

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + y = 0.00

Solving
0.5 + y = 0.00

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + y = 0.00 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + y = 0.00 + -0.5
y = 0.00 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.00 + -0.5 = -0.5
y = -0.5

Simplifying
y = -0.5

Subproblem 2
y + 0.5 = 0.00

Simplifying
y + 0.5 = 0.00

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + y = 0.00

Solving
0.5 + y = 0.00

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + y = 0.00 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + y = 0.00 + -0.5
y = 0.00 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.00 + -0.5 = -0.5
y = -0.5

Simplifying
y = -0.5

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
y = {-0.5, -0.5}
