Simplify Radicals and Rational Exponents

What is the first step to solving 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.

• Convert from radical form to rational exponent form
