Why is it important to check the solutions to a radical equation?


Create your own radical equation. Describe in complete sentences and demonstrate the process in finding its solution(s).

Answer 1

Sounds pretty radical, dude.

Answer 2

A radical equation is when a variable is present in the form of a root.

For example, the square-root of x + 8 = 12.





You solve them like a linear equation because you still have to try to isolate the variable by removing all the other operations around it.






Because often when you solve a radical equation, you end up taking the square along the way. This can introduce extraneous solutions.




x + 2 = y

Using the property of equality, I'm going to subtract 2 from both sides of the equal operator.

x + 2 - 2 = y - 2

Now, I'm going to simplify by combining like terms.

x = y - 2
