This is not true. Squaring any number gives only one solution. (-4)^2 will always be 16. It will never be anything else.
Radical equations must be checked because squaring both sides can give you two completely different solutions. If you don't check it, you could end up with an incorrect answer. See this website for more information -

What is the radical equation 4 equals x2-2-x?
It is a quadratic equation and can be rearranged in the form of:- x2-x-6 = 0 (x+2)(x-3) = 0 Solutions: x = -2 and x = 3
Sin2x - radical 2 cosx equals 0?
Sin2x = radical 2
How do you describe how to translate the graph y equals radical x to obtain the graph of each function?
You can move it up or down by adding a constant, call it c. Let c>0 Y=radical(x)+c move it up c and y= radical(x)-c moves it down c. You can move it to the right by subtracting c inside the radical sign. Let c>0 y=radical (x-c) moves it to the right c units. y=radical (x+c) moves it to the left c units.
How do solve a composite function that is a radical inside of a radical?
By radical, I am assuming that you mean square root, not cube root, quartic root, or otherwise. If this is the case, then we can use fractional exponents to help. Change sqrt(x) to x^(1/2), or x to the one half power. Then we take a radical of a radical which becomes sqrt(x^(1/2)) = (x^(1/2))^(1/2) = x^(1/4). When we raise a power to a power, we multiply exponents. So the answer to the square root of the square root of x is x to the one fourth power, or the 4th root of x.
What is x times radical x?
x√x=x^1.5
