Transcript

• TO SOLVE AN EQUATION CONTAINING ONE RADICAL, WE WILL ISOLATE THE RADICAL ON ONE SIDE OF THE EQUATION. THEN WE'RE GOING TO RAISE BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION TO THE POWER OF THE INDEX. THIS WILL UNDO THE RADICAL. THEN WE'LL SOLVE THE RESULT OF THE EQUATION AND CHECK OUR SOLUTIONS. SO FOR THE FIRST EXAMPLE WE HAVE THE SQUARE ROOT OF THE QUANTITY X + ... Read More
