DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES

A. Priming Activity
Try to get the roots of the following:
√ 100 = 10
√ 625 = 25
√ 1369 = 37
√3 64 = 4
√3 512 = 8
√3 2197 = 13
√4 1296 = 6
√4 81 = 3
2. ANALYSIS

Radicals is simply an expression like √ 49 and radicals has its parts:

This symbol represents the radical sign.
And the numbers and variables inside represents the radicands.
√ 49
Radical Equation is an equation in which the variable appears in a radicand.

Examples: a. √ x = 7
b. √ x+ 2 = 3
c. √ 2 x−3 = √ x+5

In solving radical equations, we can use the fact that if two numbers are equal, then their squares are
equal. In symbols; if a=b , thena 2=b2 .

Example:

If √ 9 = 3 are equal,
Then (√ 9 ¿2 = (3¿2 are equal.
As a result ¿ ¿ .
2
92 = 9
9=9
To solve for a Radical Equation:

Suppose we have x−6=√ x

Step 1. Arrange the terms of the equation so that one term with radical is by itself on one side of the
equation.
x−6=¿

Step 2. Square both sides of the radical equations.

¿
¿
x 2−12 x+36=x
Step 3. Combine like terms.

x 2−12 x−x=36=0
x 2−13 x+ 36=0

Step 4. Solve for the variable.

( x−9 )( x−4 ) =0
x=9 , x=4= 0

Step 5. Check apparent solutions in the original equation.

Checking:
x=9
x−6=√ x
9−6=√ 9
3=3

x=4
x−6=√ x
4−6= √ 4
−2 ≠2

Therefore, x=9 is the only solution and x=4is what we called extraneous root.
Another example of solving radical equation.

Suppose we have 4 + √ x−2=x

Step 1. Arrange
√ x−2=x−4
¿

Step 2. Square both sides

¿
¿
x−2=x2 −8 x+16
x 2−8 x +16=x −2

Step 3. Combine like terms.

x 2−8 x +16+2=0
x 2−9 x +18=0
Step 4. Solve for variable.
( x−6 )( x−3 )=0
x=6 , x=3
Step 5. Checking.

4 + √ x−2=x
4 = √ 6−2=6
4 + √ 4=6
4 +2=6
6=6

4 + √ x−2=x
4 + √ 3−2=6
4 + √ 1=6
4 +1=6
5≠3

Therefore, x=6 is the only solution and x=3 is the extraneous root.

3. ABSTRACTION

What are the parts of a radicals?

What is radical equation?
And lastly, how do we solve a radical equation.

4. APPLICATION

a. Fixing Skills
3
I have here another example, what if we have √ 2 x=4

To eliminate the radical we will cube both sides.

¿
2 x=64
x=32
Checking:
√3 2 (32 ) =4
√3 64=4
4=4
Therefore the value of x is 32.

Who wants to try this on the board? √3 5 x=4=3
