Answer:

The values of r = -3/2 ,7

Explanation:

2r2 - 11r - 21 = 0.

The is a quadratic equation in the form

2r²-11r -21= 0

Let's determine the value of r using factorization method

2r² -14r +3r -21= 0.

2r(r-7)+3(r-7)= 0

(2r+3)(r-7)= 0

2r+3= 0

2r= -3

r= -3/2

And

r-7= 0

r= 7

The values of r = -3/2 ,7
