OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simple example for an equation with extraneous solution: \(\sqrt x=-1\). Squaring both sides gives you \(x=1\); however, \(\sqrt1\not=-1\).

@SithsAndGiggles What do I say to explain the steps? btw thanks so much :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"Squaring both sides" is a step.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SithsAndGiggles Thanks alot :))), I just gave you a medal :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SithsAndGiggles What would be an example for non-extraneous solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Btw, you should probably explain why \(x=1\) is not a solution to the first example. For a non-extraneous solution, \(\sqrt x=1\) is a pretty simple example.

@SithsAndGiggles Again, thanks so much for the help :)
