(1+r)(1+r)=2

Solution for (1+r)(1+r)=2 equation:

Simplifying
(1 + r)(1 + r) = 2

Multiply (1 + r) * (1 + r)
(1(1 + r) + r(1 + r)) = 2
((1 * 1 + r * 1) + r(1 + r)) = 2
((1 + 1r) + r(1 + r)) = 2
(1 + 1r + (1 * r + r * r)) = 2
(1 + 1r + (1r + r2)) = 2

Combine like terms: 1r + 1r = 2r
(1 + 2r + r2) = 2

Solving
1 + 2r + r2 = 2

Solving for variable 'r'.

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2 + 2r + r2 = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: 1 + -2 = -1
-1 + 2r + r2 = 2 + -2

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(r + 1) equal to 1.414213562 and -1.414213562.

Subproblem 1
r + 1 = 1.414213562

Simplifying
r + 1 = 1.414213562

Reorder the terms:
1 + r = 1.414213562

Solving
1 + r = 1.414213562

Solving for variable 'r'.

Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + r = 1.414213562 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + r = 1.414213562 + -1
r = 1.414213562 + -1

Combine like terms: 1.414213562 + -1 = 0.414213562
r = 0.414213562

Simplifying
r = 0.414213562

Subproblem 2
r + 1 = -1.414213562

Simplifying
r + 1 = -1.414213562

Solving
1 + r = -1.414213562

Solving for variable 'r'.

Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + r = -1.414213562 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + r = -1.414213562 + -1
r = -1.414213562 + -1

Combine like terms: -1.414213562 + -1 = -2.414213562
r = -2.414213562

Simplifying
r = -2.414213562

Solution
