Section 6.7 – Solving Radical Equations & Inequalities
A ____________________ equation contains a ____________________ within a radical. Recall that you can solve quadratic equations by taking the square root of both sides. Similarly, radical equations can be solved by raising both sides to a ____________________.
|Solving Radical Equations |
|Steps |Example |
|1. Isolate the radical. |[pic] |
|2. Raise both sides of the equation to the power equal to the index of the |[pic] |
|radical. | |
|3. Simplify and solve. |[pic] |
|4. Check your answer for extraneous solutions. |[pic] |
Raising each side of an equation to an even power may introduce extraneous solutions, so you need to check your answer(s) by substituting it back into the original equation.
Example 1: Solve each equation.
|a. [pic] |b. [pic] |c. [pic] |

You can use similar methods to solve equations containing rational exponents. You raise both sides of the equation to the ____________________ of the exponent. You can also rewrite any expressions with rational exponents in radical form and solve as you would other radical equations.
Example 2: Solve each equation.
|a. [pic] |b. [pic] |c. [pic] |

A radical ____________________ is an inequality that contains a variable within a radical. You can solve radical inequalities by using algebra. Just remember, when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative, you need to ____________________ the inequality sign.
Example 3: Solve each inequality.
|a. [pic] |b. [pic] |c. [pic] |
