MAT-160 Lecture 4: 1.4 Radical Equations Notes
Document Summary
Provide a generalization to the terms listed in this section. Radical equations are equations that have a variable in a root square root, cubic root, etc These solutions occur when the apparent solution, after originally solving the equation, do not equal the original equations when plugged back in to check, which rechecking is the main point of solutions to con rm when dealing with radical equations. B 11 3 + 3 = 0 + 3. B 11 = 3 (cid:16) b 11(cid:17)2. 3v + 4 4 = 16 4. 3v + 4 + 10 = 6 p3(4) + 4 + 10 = 6. With and without extraneous solutions example c 7 = 2c + 1 (c 7)2 = (cid:0) 2c + 1(cid:1) c2 14c + 49 = 2c + 1. 2 c2 16c + 48 = 0 (c 12)(c 4) = 0 c2 14c + 49 (2c + 1) = 2c + 1 (2c + 1) c = 4, 12.
