Module 1 Lesson 28: A Focus on Square Roots

Warm Up: Simplify.

Discussion

Jason solves the following problem and

says that the answer is x=4. Why is this

not true?

Extraneous solutions happen

when we solve problems

involving radicals because you

cannot take the square root of

a negative number. Any time

we remove a radical with an

even index, we should always

check for an extraneous

solution!
