Good morning everyone!

Before we start our class, may I
request everyone to please pick up pieces
of paper and kindly arrange your chairs.

Good Morning Maam!

Lets begin our session by offering a

moment with God. Lets stand up, bow
down our heads and feel the presence of
the Lord. Dear Almighty God, All these
we ask through Jesus name, Amen.
You may now take your seats.
Thank you, Maam.

Radical Equations
An Equation that contains a variable expression in a
radicand is a radical equation.
The following property of equality states that if two numbers
are equal, then the squares of the numbers are equal. This
property is used to solve radical equations.
Squaring Property of Equality
If a and b are real number and a = b, then

a =b .

Unfortunately, this property does not guarantee that all

solutions of the new equation will be roots of the original
equation. For example, the equations x=4 and x= - 4 have
the same resulting equation when we apply the squaring
property.

Therefore, the equation x2=16 has two solutions, 4 and -4.

For this reason, always check the proposed solutions in the
original equation.

D. Generalization

Teachers Activity
I will group you into 4, each group will
submit a sheet of paper with the name
of the members and at the back write the
things that you learn for today. This will
serve as your attendance.
IV. Evaluation
Simplify the following equations.

Yes, Maam!
