Solving Radical Equation and its Applications

Example 4

Radical Equation with an Expression

Example 5

An extraneous solution is a solution derived from an equation that is not a solution of the original equation. Therefore, you must check all solutions in the original equation when you solve radical equations.

Checking

In solving radical equations, remember to always CHECK your answer. You may have solved it correctly, but you will only determine whether your answer is a solution when checked

Activity 2:

Include Me Not

Instructions: Solve the equation. Write NO SOLUTION if the value is an extraneous root.
