Learn how to solve an equation with a rational power by squaring both side

The video tutorial explains how to solve problems with rational roots using inverse operations. It begins by introducing the concept of inverse operations, such as the relationship between squaring and square roots. The tutorial then demonstrates how to isolate the variable X by raising it to the reciprocal power, effectively solving the equation. The process is verified by checking the solution, ensuring the method's accuracy. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of addressing negative solutions.
