Solving Radical EquationsSolving Radical Equations
A radical equation is an equation thatcontains a variable within a radical. Inthis course, you will only study radicalequations that contain square roots.
Recall that you use inverse operations to solve equations. For nonnegative numbers,
squaring and taking the square root are inverse operations. When an equation
contains a variable within a square root, square both sides of the equation to solve.

Squaring both sides of an equation may result in an extraneous solution —
a number that is not a solution of the original equation.
Suppose your original equation is x = 3.
Square both sides.
Now you have a new equation.
Solve this new equation for x by taking the square root of both sides.
Now there are two solutions. One (x = 3) is the original equation. The other (x = -3) is extraneous—it is not a
solution of the original equation. Because of extraneous solutions, it is important to check your answers.
