r2=81 which means r is either 9 or -9.

Explanation:

Given the equation 4r2+1=325, we are going to look for r2

So to find r2 we are going to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Step 1:

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

4r2+11=3251

So we get 4r2=324

Step 2:

Divide both sides by 4

4r24=3244

So now we isolated have r2 isolated

r2=81

r=±9
