PA 3. 1 A radical equation is an equation in which the variable occurs in a square root, cube root, or any higher root. In this section, you will learn how to solve radical equations. When the variable occurs in a square root, it is necessary to square both sides of the equation. When you square both sides of an equation, sometimes extra answers creep in, called extraneous roots. For example, consider the following very simple original equation. Square both sides. Solve the equation. But -2 does not work in the original equation. Then 2 is an extraneous root. It’s like a hitchhiker that we picked up when we squared both sides. It works only in the squared form and is not a root of the original. ﺍﻟﺮﻳﺎﺿﻴﺎﺕ – ﺗﻔﻜﻴﺮ ﺳﻠﻴﻢ – ﺩﻗﺔ ﻭﺗﻌﺎﻭﻥ – ﺻﺒﺮ ﻭﻧﻈﺎﻡ – ﺗﺬﻭﻕ ﺍﻟﺠﻤﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﻌﻠﻤﻲ.

Throw out any extra (extraneous) roots from your solution set. Another thing that you should know is … if your equation contains two or more square root expressions, you will need to isolate one square root expression, square both sides, and then you may have to repeat the process. You may have to square both sides twice. ﺍﻟﺮﻳﺎﺿﻴﺎﺕ – ﺗﻔﻜﻴﺮ ﺳﻠﻴﻢ – ﺩﻗﺔ ﻭﺗﻌﺎﻭﻥ – ﺻﺒﺮ ﻭﻧﻈﺎﻡ – ﺗﺬﻭﻕ ﺍﻟﺠﻤﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﻌﻠﻤﻲ.
