    The document discusses solving radical equations, beginning with a shortcut for expanding perfect square trinomials. It provides examples of solving radical equations by isolating the radical term and then squaring both sides to remove the radical. It stresses the importance of checking that any solutions work in the original equation, as there may be extraneous solutions. Finally, it lists practice problems for radicals equations from a textbook.

    Lesson 4-7: Radical Equations


    Quick skill SHORTCUT for expanding perfect square trinomials: (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

    Try

    (x + 10)2

    (2x + 1)2

    (x - 5)2

    (2 +x)2
