Solve Radical Equations

In this video we learn to solve equations with radicals. There are a few steps: 1. Isolate the radical (the term under the square root or cube root symbol). 2. Raise both sides to a power that will eliminate the radical. For example to eliminate a square root - square both sides. To eliminate a cube root - cube both sides. 3. The final step is to check for extraneous solutions. Sometimes when we raise both sides to a power, extraneous solutions are created. To check for these, plug your solutions into the original equation and see if they actually work.
