Solution for (d-4)(d+.5)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(d + -4)(d + 0.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + d)(d + 0.5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + d)(0.5 + d) = 0

Multiply (-4 + d) * (0.5 + d)
(-4(0.5 + d) + d(0.5 + d)) = 0
((0.5 * -4 + d * -4) + d(0.5 + d)) = 0
((-2 + -4d) + d(0.5 + d)) = 0
(-2 + -4d + (0.5 * d + d * d)) = 0
(-2 + -4d + (0.5d + d2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -4d + 0.5d = -3.5d
(-2 + -3.5d + d2) = 0

Solving
-2 + -3.5d + d2 = 0

Solving for variable 'd'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2' to each side of the equation.
-2 + -3.5d + 2 + d2 = 0 + 2

Reorder the terms:
-2 + 2 + -3.5d + d2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0
0 + -3.5d + d2 = 0 + 2
-3.5d + d2 = 0 + 2

Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2
-3.5d + d2 = 2

The d term is -3.5d.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
-3.5d + 3.0625 + d2 = 2 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + -3.5d + d2 = 2 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 2 + 3.0625 = 5.0625
3.0625 + -3.5d + d2 = 5.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(d + -1.75)(d + -1.75) = 5.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.25

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(d + -1.75) equal to 2.25 and -2.25.

Subproblem 1

d + -1.75 = 2.25 Simplifying d + -1.75 = 2.25 Reorder the terms: -1.75 + d = 2.25 Solving -1.75 + d = 2.25 Solving for variable 'd'. Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.75' to each side of the equation. -1.75 + 1.75 + d = 2.25 + 1.75 Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + d = 2.25 + 1.75 d = 2.25 + 1.75 Combine like terms: 2.25 + 1.75 = 4 d = 4 Simplifying d = 4

Subproblem 2

d + -1.75 = -2.25 Simplifying d + -1.75 = -2.25 Reorder the terms: -1.75 + d = -2.25 Solving -1.75 + d = -2.25 Solving for variable 'd'. Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.75' to each side of the equation. -1.75 + 1.75 + d = -2.25 + 1.75 Combine like terms: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + d = -2.25 + 1.75 d = -2.25 + 1.75 Combine like terms: -2.25 + 1.75 = -0.5 d = -0.5 Simplifying d = -0.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. d = {4, -0.5}
