Cooling System Pressure Valve Calculation

A technician is automating a calculation for a cooling system pressure valve using the formula r+4r+2=0\sqrt{r+4} - r + 2 = 0. As part of the programming process, the technician must convert this radical equation into a standard quadratic equation. After isolating the radical and squaring both sides according to the four-step procedure, what is the resulting quadratic equation when written in standard form ($0 = ar^2 + br + c$)?
