Radical Equations
Radical equations are equations involving the radical symbol . In this section we will discuss
four types of Radical Equations. First we obtain radical free equation then solve it. The solutions of
radical-free equation contain the solutions of given radical equation. Solutions of radical free
equations, which do not satisfy the given radical equation, are called extraneous roots, because of
involvement of extraneous roots we have to carry out the process of checking. Only roots satisfying
the given equation are to be considered as the root of equation and be written in solution set.
