Activity 13: Summary

Lesson Closure

This lesson made me learn brand new ways in enhancing my application skills in solving
different radical equations with the help of the basic skills in adding, multiplying and
dividing radicals--depending on the way it is presented in an equation, and made me
open my eyes along side my mind about properly and correctly solving these kinds of
problems. Yet, I still learned something new that gave me a clear reason why does this
skill necessary in solving or simplifying the radical equation. One key ideas is that we
should always place in mind that both sides of an equation should always be equal to
satisfy the equation. It is important because, if a value from either side of the equation is
not changed the same as the other, the equation would turn out false. Another key idea
about this lesson is that to remove the radical sign/s in the equation, never forget to
raise the term to nth power as of the index to and always be aware about the law of
equality. In sum, this lesson was a worth-while achievement of having to finish ‘til the
end, yet the things that I learned will be very useful in the future. In solving/simplifying
rational equations, we should keep in mind that we should first, always be aware in the
laws of equality and second, remove the radical sign/s from the equation by raising the
term to the nth power as associated with the value of the index.
