5.5 inches? If so 13.97 cm.
X² +18x = 0
To complete the square we are going to use formula a² +2ab +b² = (a+b)²
x² +2*9*x = 0
x² +2*9x+9² = 9²
(x+9)² = 9²
√(x+9)² = +/-√9²
x+9 = 9, or x+9 = -9
x=0, or x= - 18
The equation could be solved different way
x² +18x = 0
x(x+18) = 0
x=0 or x+18=0
x=0 or x=-18
Your function is: 
Domain: $(-\infty, +\infty)-\{ 0 \}$ or $R-\{ 0 \}$
Range: $[-\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{1}{2}]$
Midline: $y=-1$
