Hi. Please, can someone help me? I solved a pair of simultaneous
equations that should give a value greater than zero but less than r
to be valid. But I get 1.15r, which is off the range but I think is
correct (the problem is wrong). My question, what is the correct name
of this case? Please excuse my ignorance.

Error.

And for that question: you are talking about numerical things, yes?
If you expect a sound answer you may post details.

The problem is in classicak mechanics, and the correct answer should
be between zero and 1r.

In article
<1d665ee2-dcdb-4036...@o14g2000vbo.googlegroups.com>,
In linear programming, values outside the range allowed by the
inequalities are called "infeasible".

In German, such a solution that doesn't correspond to physical reality
is often called "unphysikalisch". For translations into English see:
