Solving Radical Equations Video 1

Author: John Fisk

This video explains how to solve radical equations and why we must check that our answers are within any restrictions caused by an even root. The problems below are solved to demonstrate the process. You can try to solve the problems before watching the video and click "Reveal Answer" to see if you are correct.

Problem: Solve the equations.

  1. \(\sqrt[3]{x}=-3\)
  2. \(\sqrt[4]{x}=4\)
  3. \(\sqrt[6]{x}=\sqrt[6]{2x+3}\)

  1. \(x=-27\)
  2. \(x=256\)
  3. No solution
