from how long you havn't been doing your hw?
-just wondering..

anonymous · Answer

I do all my homework.

anonymous · Answer

Oh how long I have been doing my homework? Is that what you are asking?

turingtest · Answer

lol
a radical equation has a radical sign on the variable, where as if the radical is only on a constant the equation just contains it.
$$\sqrt{x}+2$$ IS a radical eqn.$$x+\sqrt{2}=6$$ is NOT a radical eqn.

turingtest · Answer

i meant sqrt(x)+2=6 for the first eqn.

anonymous · Answer

Thank you very much, I had the answer similar to that, but I kept think it was wrong lol, I put this:
The difference between a radical equation and an quation the contains a radical is that with a radical equation it can have radicals with a variable inside the radicand while an equation that contains a radical only has a number, and no variable.

and for the first example: 
   ____
√x + 2 = 7

ah yes, quite close but, as with all mathematics, the devil is in the detail :)
