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)

It is an equation containing a fractional power. Square roots and cube roots are typical examples but any fraction - positive or negative - will result in a radical equation.

How is a radical equation similar to a linear equation?

Technically,no. A radical equation has a radical (Square root) in it, and has two solutions because the square root can be positive or negative.


When solving a radical equation you should first isolate the radical and then both sides?

Where is the index in a radical equation?

the index in a radical equation appears above and left of the root symbol and tells you what kind of root the radicand is.


How do you solve a radical equation with a variable beside the number inside of the radical?

Square both sides of the equation to get rid of the radical sign. Then just solve as you normally would. Good luck! :-)


What is the difference between a radical equation and a quadratic equation?

radical equations have sq roots, cube roots etc. Quadratic equations have x2.


In general when solving a radical equation should you first isolate the radical and then both sides?

It often helps to isolate the radical, and then square both sides. Beware of extraneous solutions - the new equation may have solutions that are not part of the solutions of the original equation, so you definitely need to check any purported solutions with the original equation.

What are radical terms?

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.


What is an equation that has two radical expressions and no real roots?

It is simply an equation with non-rational solutions. There is no special name for it.
