(x^2+x-1/2)= x(x+1)-1/2 [x + (1 - square root of 3)/2][x + (1 + square root of 3)/2] = 0
Check it: x^2 + x/2 + (square root of 3)x)/2 + x/2 + 1/4 + (square root of 3)/4 - (square root of 3)x/2 - (square root of 3)/4 - 3/4 = 0
x^2 + x/2 + x/2 + [(square root of 3)x]/2 - [(square root of 3)x]/2 + (square root of 3)/4 - (square root of 3)/4 + 1/4 - 3/4 = 0
x^2 + x - 2/4 = 0
x^2 + x - 1/2 = 0 How to find this roots: Using the completing the square method:
x^2 + x - 1/2 = 0 x^2 + x = 1/2 x^2 + x + 1/4 = 1/2 + 1/4 (x + 1/2)^2 = 3/4 x + 1/2 = (plus & minus)(square root of 3/4) x = -1/2 + (square root of 3)/2 x = - 1/2 - (square root of 3)/2
