What is the quadradic radical equation?
is this what you were looking for? there are many different types of quadratic formulas-- -b √ b^2 - 4ac = x (over) 2a
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.
What is the number called under the square root when the number is negative in the quadratic equation?
The term inside the square root symbol is called the radicand. There isn't a specific term for it based on its sign; whether it's positive or negative, it's still the radicand.I'm a little confused by your reference to the quadratic equation.If the radicand is negative, the root is an imaginary number, though that doesn't specifically have anything to do with the quadratic equation in particular.If the quantity b2 - 4ac is negative in the quadratic equation, the root of the quadratic equation is either complex or imaginary depending on whether or not b is zero.---------------------------Thank you to whoever answered this first; you saved me a bit of trouble explaining this to the asker :)However, in the quadractic equation, the number under the radical is called the discriminant. This determines the number of solutions of the quadratic. If the radicand is negative, this means that there are no real solutions to the equation.
What is the name of the number under the radical symbol in the quadratic formula?
The discriminant
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.

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

They are the same.

How do you determine the number of real solutions to a quadratic equation?
Put the equation in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0. Replace a, b, and c in the quadratic formula: x = (-b (plus-or-minus) root(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a. Look at the term under the radical sign, which I wrote as "root" here. If b2 - 4ac is...Positive: the equation has two real solutions.Zero: the equation has one ("double") solution.Negative: the equation has two complex solutions (and therefore no real solution).
The is the name of the number under the radical symbol in the quadratic formula?

What is the name of the number under the radical symbol in the quadratic formula?
The discriminant
What is the difference between a radical and a conservation?
Wrong question. Radicals can be either liberal or conservative; they just have to be radical, that is, pretty extreme.
What is the expression b2 4ac under the radical sign in the quadratic formula?
The discriminant.
When solving a radical equation you should first isolate the radical and then both sides?
Radical...Apex :)
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.
