2.9 × 1.7 = 4.93
After 1.7 seconds, the puck's speed would be 4.93 meters per second.
31.2
steps:
9.36/3 = 31.2
quotient is the solution to division
Assuming what is meant by "infinite solutions" are infinite number of solutions of a logarithmic equation.

and

For a;

For b;

If my calculations are incorrect, then sorry ;/

R^2+2r-33=0 move constant to other side by adding 33 to both sides
r^2+2r=33 halve the linear coefficient, square it and add to both sides, in this case it is just one
r^2+2r+1=34 now the left side is a perfect square...
(r+1)^2=34 take the square root of both sides...
r+1=34^(1/2) subtract 1 from both sides
r=-1+34^(1/2) and -1-34^(1/2)
