Given:


3u^2-24=0\text{ and }4r^2+432=0.

Aim:

We need to find the values of u and r.

Step-by-step explanation:


Consider\text{ }3u^2-24=0.

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.


\text{ }(3u^2)/(3)-(24)/(3)=(0)/(3).


u^2-8=0.

Add 8 to thte both sides of the equation.


u^2-8+8=0+8.
u^2=8

Take sqaure root on both sides.


√(u^2)=\pm√(8)
Use\text{ }√(u^2)=u\text{.}


u=\pm√(8)


u=\pm√(2*4)


u=\pm√(2*2^2)


u=\pm2√(2)


u=-2√(2),2√(2)


Consider\text{ }4r^2+432=0.

Divide both sides of the equation by 4.


(4r^2)/(4)+(432)/(4)=(0)/(4).
r^2+108=0

Subtract 108 from both sides of the equation.


r^2+108-108=0-108
r^2=-108

Take square root on both sides of the equation.


√(r^2)=\pm√(-108)


√(r^2)=\pm√((-1)*108)
We\text{ know that there is no real solution for }√((-1)).

Final answer:


u=-2√(2),2√(2)
r=DNE
