FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you isolate a variable in a radical equation?

Back

To isolate a variable in a radical equation, you can square both sides of the equation to eliminate the radical, then solve for the variable.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation √(x + 3) = 5?

Back

The first step is to square both sides of the equation: (√(x + 3))^2 = 5^2, which simplifies to x + 3 = 25.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Solve the equation √(2x - 1) = 3.

Back

Square both sides: 2x - 1 = 9. Then, add 1 to both sides: 2x = 10. Finally, divide by 2: x = 5.
