This post is slightly defective, since it does not describe what you want from the tutors.
But if you want to ask us whether this equation has a solution, then the answer is "NO".
This equation has no solution in real numbers,
because its left side is always non-negative for all values of variable 'r',
while the right side is a constant negative number.
