r=4r2-1

Solution for r=4r2-1 equation:

r=4r^2-1

We move all terms to the left:

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

We get rid of parentheses

-4r^2+r+1=0

a = -4; b = 1; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 12-4·(-4)·1
Δ = 17
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$r_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$r_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$r_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)-\sqrt{17}}{2*-4}=\frac{-1-\sqrt{17}}{-8}
$
$r_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(1)+\sqrt{17}}{2*-4}=\frac{-1+\sqrt{17}}{-8}
