1. WARM UP

2. Essential Question: How do you solve equations with exponents and radicals? SOLVING EQUATIONS WITH EXPONENTS AND RADICALS

3.  The inverse of an exponent is its matching root.  When matching an exponent with its matching root, they will cancel. HOW ARE EXPONENTS AND RADICALS CONNECTED?

4.  Step 1:  Isolate the variable (move numbers not attached to the variable)  Step 2:  Eliminate co-efficients (Move numbers attached to the variable)  Step 3:  Simplify STEPS OF SOLVING AN EQUATION

5.  To eliminate an exponent from a variable, you must use its matching root.  If it’s an odd exponent, there is 1 solution. If it’s an even exponent, there are 2 solutions. SOLVING EQUATIONS WITH EXPONENTS

6. EXAMPLE

7.  How do you solve an Equation with an Exponent?

8.  To eliminate a root, you must use its matching exponent.  There is only one solution when solving equations with roots. SOLVING EQUATIONS WITH ROOTS
