Warm – Up 4.5 • Factor the following. • x2–9x + 20
Algebra 3 Lesson 4.5 Objective: SSBAT solve radical equations. Standard: M11.D.2.1.1
Radical Equation • An equation that has a variable in the radicand or has a variable with a rational exponent. Examples: NOT a radical equation
Solving Radical Equations: ( • Isolate the radical - ( • 2. Raise BOTH sides of the equation to the index number • 3. Solve for the variable
When you raise an Expression to a power you have to check each answer to make sure it is not an extraneous solutions.
4. Continued * Check each in original problem * Answer: x = 7
5. Continued. * Check each in original problem * Answer: x = 13
Solving radical equations with fractional exponents Isolate the expression raised to the fraction 2. Raise both sides to the reciprocal power 3. Solve for the variable
Solve the equation. = 9 x – 2 = 27 x = 29
Solve the equation. = 7 = 2x + 3 = 49 2x = 46 x = 23
Solve the equation. = 4 = x + 6 = 32 x = 26
