Radical Equations: Subtitle Goes Here

The document defines radical equations as any equation containing a radical expression. It illustrates examples of radical equations and discusses properties that can be used to solve them, such as the power, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division properties. The goal in solving radical equations is to isolate the variable by using these properties, then removing the radical sign and solving the resulting equation. Several sample problems are provided to demonstrate the steps of isolating the radical, combining like terms, removing the radical sign, and solving.

PROPERTIES
•  

Power Property of Equality


If a and b are real numbers, n is a positive
integer, and a = b, then a n = b n
PROPERTIES
•  

Addition Property
If a and b are real numbers, then a+c = b+c
such that c is a real number.
PROPERTIES
•  

Subtraction Property
If a and b are real numbers, then a-c = b-c
such that c is a real number.
.
PROPERTIES
•  

Multiplication Property
If a and b are real numbers, then (a)(c) = (b)
(c) such that c is a real number.
PROPERTIES
•  

 
Division Property
If a and b are real numbers, then such that c
is a real number.
NOTE
Whatever properties you
used on the left side of the
equal sign, then it should
be performed on the right
side!
The goal in solving
radical equations
is the same as the goal
in solving most equations.

Isolate the variable.
