15 8.6 Solving Equations with Radicals Solve radical equations by using the power rule. Objectives Power Rule for Solving an Equation with Radicals 4 Solve radical equations by using the power rule. Solve radical equations that require additional steps. Solve radical equations with indexes greater than. Use the power rule to solve a formula for a specified variable. If both sides of an equation are raised to the same power, all solutions of the original equation are also solutions of the new equation. The power rule does not say that all solutions of the new equation are solutions of the original equation. They may or may not be. Solutions that do not satisfy the original equation are called extraneous solutions. They must be rejected. When the power rule is used to solve an equation, every solution of the new equation must be checked in the original equation. Slide 8.6- EXAMPLE Solve Using the Power Rule Check: Solve radical equations by using the power rule. Solving an Equation with Radicals Step Isolate the radical. Make sure that one radical term is alone on one side of the equation. Step Apply the power rule. Raise each side of the equation to a power that is the same as the index of the radical.

Recognize subsets of the complex numbers. The relationships among the various sets of numbers. Thus, the set of real numbers is a subset of the set of complex numbers. If a = 0 and b 0, the complex number is said to be a pure imaginary number. For example, i is a pure imaginary number. A number such as 7 + i is a nonreal complex number.
