Definitions
Radical Equation:An equation involving the radical/square root
symbol √

Steps for Solvingradical (√) equations
1. Isolate the radical using the reverse order of operations.
2. Square both sides (the radical & the squared symbol cancel each other out)
3. Isolate the variable on one side & solve4. Check your answers for extraneous
solutions.

Equations with Extraneous SolutionsNote: The solution obtained by squaring both sides of the equation is not valid in the original equation.

No solution
Problem!
An isolated radical cannot equal a negative!

Steps for SolvingSquared ( )² equations
1. Isolate the variable on one side. 2. If it is squared, take the square root (√) of
both sides.3. Add the +/- sign in front of one of the
square root symbols (±√)For example: 2 + x² = 6
Step 1 -2 -2 x² = 4
Step 2 √x² = ±√4 x = ±2
