  1. Section 7.6 Solving Radical Equations

  2. Extraneous Solutions • Raising both sides of an equation to a power may create extraneous or false solutions • When you solve radical equations, it is important to check your answers in the original equation • If an answer does not make the equation true, it is called an extraneous solution

  3. Solve the equation and check for extraneous solutions.

  4. X –7 = 53 X = 125 +7 = 132

  5. Solve the equation and check for extraneous solutions. (3x-8)1/2 = 5

  6. (3x-8)1/2 = 5 ((3x-8)1/2)2 = (5)2 3x – 8 = 25 3x = 33 x = 11

  7. The sales of a certain product after an initial release can be found by the equation S=14 + 61, where S represents the total sales and t represents the time in weeks after release. How many weeks will pass before the product sells about 175 units? Round your answer to the nearest week.
