Learn how to solve an equation where both sides are raised to 1 half power

The video tutorial explains the concept of rational powers and their equivalence to square roots. It demonstrates solving a linear equation by applying the power rule, where exponents are multiplied. The instructor then rewrites the equation using square roots to verify the solution, ensuring no extraneous solutions are present.
