  1. Solving Radical Equations Real-World Application: Finding the nozzle pressure of antifreeze used to de-ice a plane.

  2. Common Core State Standards: • A-REI.1 Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method. • A-REI.2 Solve simple rational and radical equations in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise.

  3. Using a Radical ModelYou work for a commercial airline and remove ice from planes. The relationshipamong the flow rate r (in gallons per minute) of the antifreeze for de-icing, thenozzle diameter d (in inches), and the nozzle pressure P (in pounds per squareinch) is shown in the diagram. You want a flow rate of 250 gallons per minute. • Find the nozzle pressure for a nozzle whose diameter is 1.25 inches. • Find the nozzle pressure for a nozzle whose diameter is 1.75 inches. • When you increase the diameter of the nozzle by 40%, do you also change the nozzle pressure by 40%? Explain.
