Rationals and Radicals Test

What is the 1st step for solving the radical equation?

• Isolate the radical then add 6 to both sides

• Isolate the radical then subtract 6 to both sides

• Isolate the radical then divide both sides by -6

Identify the LCD.

• x²(x - 2)

• x(x - 2)

• x

• (x - 2)

State the domain restrictions. 

• x ≠ -2

• x ≠ 2, 1

• x ≠ 2, -1

• x ≠ -2, 2, 1

What is the first step of Radical Equations?

• Check for extraneous solutions.

• Raise each side of the equation to the power of the index.

• Isolate the radical on one side of equations.

• Solve the remaining equation.
