3
What inverse operation is needed to solve each of the following? addition subtraction division multiplication square root squaring
4
When solving radical equations you must square both sides of the equation to remove the square root sign (undo the radical symbol). Squaring is the inverse operation of square root!
5
When solving radical equations you must square both sides of the equation to remove the square root sign (undo the radical symbol). CAUTION: CAUTION: Squaring both sides of an equation can introduce a solution to the squared equation that does not satisfy the original equation. Such a solution is called an extraneous solution. When you solve by squaring both sides of an equation, check each solution in the original equation. Check
