Description
- A page of Class Notes regarding solving radical equations, which includes a new concept called EXTRANEOUS SOLUTIONS (Solutions in certain algebraic problems that appear correct mathematically, but do not 'check out' if you were to attempt to verify an answer's accuracy/existence with its original equation). This topic is designed to be presented after the completion of certain Algebra 1 and/or Algebra 2 topics.
-- A 3-page worksheet of practice (With detailed answer key). See "View Preview" to view page one of this worksheet series.
-- 2 similar "Pop Quizzes" (With detailed answer keys) to assess how much information students retained of this topic.
**Note: For this topic, a modest to strong background knowledge of certain Algebra 1 and 2 concepts is already implied, such as the basic knowledge of radicals (simplifying, index and radicands), along with solving for variables through the use of squaring both sides of an equation, and factoring, for example.
Please also consider my precursor to this entry, the previous section:
"Binomial Radical Expressions, Multiply & Rationalize" (Click to view)
Student tested, teacher approved!**
**I have been a teacher now for over a collective 20 years, 15+ of those teaching each mathematical level in Pennsylvania schools ranging from Pre-Algebra to Pre-Calculus. All of my submissions have been used for my classes for multiple years to great success.
