Definition
An equation that has a variable in a radicand is called a radical equation.
For example, the equations ñx = 25, x 1 3, and 2x – 1 3x 5 are radical equations. Let us look at some examples of how to solve radical equations.
EXAMPLE 19 Solve x 1 3.
Solution ( x 1)2 32 (take the square of both sides) x 1 9
