Answer:
[tex]r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex] and [tex]r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
when you solve for r in the given equation, you need to apply the square root property, which gives positive and negative answers (both should therefore be considered):
[tex]r^2=\frac{3}{16} \\r=+/-\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}} \\r=+/-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex]
then you need to include these two possible solutions:
[tex]r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex] and [tex]r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex]
