radical equations have sq roots, cube roots etc. Quadratic equations have x2.
It is simply an equation with non-rational solutions. There is no special name for it.
A "radical" equation is an equation in which at least one variable expression is stuck inside a radical, usually a square root. The "radical" in "radical equations" can be any root, whether a square root, a cube root, or some other root. Most of the examples in what follows use square roots as the radical, but (warning!) you should not be surprised to see an occasional cube root or fourth root in your homework or on a test.
The roots of the equation
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is zero then it will have 2 equal roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is greater than zero then it will have 2 different roots. If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is less than zero then it will have no roots.
They are actually to the one half power. You can take a factor in the radical and sqrt it and put in on the outside... Ex. sqrt(28) = sqrt(4 * 7) = sqrt(22 * 7) = 2sqrt(7) sqrt(28) = 2 * sqrt(7)

You need to check for extraneous solutions when solving equations containing variables in denominators or within radical expressions. These solutions may arise from introducing new roots or excluded values during manipulations, which need to be verified to ensure they are valid in the original equation.
Details may vary depending on the equation. Quite often, you have to square both sides of the equation, to get rid of the radical sign. It may be necessary to rearrange the equation before doing this, after doing this, or both. Squaring both sides of the equation may introduce "extraneous" roots (solutions), that is, solutions that are not part of the original equation, so you have to check each solution of the second equation, to see whether it is also a solution of the first equation.

Simplest radical form means simplifying a radical so that there are no more square roots, cube roots, 4th roots and such left to find. It also means removing any radicals in the denominator of a fraction.
Radical roots
A quadratic equation has two roots. They may be similar or dissimilar. As the highest power of a quadratic equation is 2 , there are 2 roots. Similarly, in the cubic equation, the highest power is 3, so it has three equal or unequal roots. So the highest power of an equation is the answer to the no of roots of that particular equation.

The process of removing roots from a mathematical equation is called "solving" the equation.
