k  + k = 0
$$k^{2} + k = 0$$
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*k^2 + b*k + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$k_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$k_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 1$$
$$c = 0$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(1)^2 - 4 * (1) * (0) = 1

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
k1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

k2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$k_{1} = 0$$
$$k_{2} = -1$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$k^{2} + k p + q = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 1$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 0$$
Vieta Formulas
$$k_{1} + k_{2} = - p$$
$$k_{1} k_{2} = q$$
$$k_{1} + k_{2} = -1$$
$$k_{1} k_{2} = 0$$
