Introduction: Equations with Radicals
Now that you understand how to combine radical terms and expressions using algebraic operations, you can solve equations that contain radicals. Soon, we will be able to help Joan figure out how tall the ladder needs to be! In this lesson you will use the addition and multiplication properties of equality as well as the rules for exponents.The learning outcomes for this lesson include:
- Isolate a radical term in an equation using algebra and rules for radicals and exponents
- Identify a radical equation with no solutions, or extraneous solutions
- Solve applications problems involving Kinetic Energy, Volume, Free-fall
