New vocabulary Radical Equation: Equations with ___________ that have ____________ in the ___________________. Extraneous Solution: A number obtained as a ______________ that does not satisfy the _______________. Radical Inequality: Inequalities with ___________ that have ____________ in the _________________.
Steps to solving a radical equation Isolate the radical on one side of the equals sign. Raise each side of the equation to a power equal to the index of the radical. This eliminates the radical! Solve for the variable. Check your solution to ensure it is not extraneous!
