Concept 2: Solving Radical Equations

Solving equations containing variables inside radical signs requires isolating the radical and raising both sides to a power.

Isolate the radical term on one side of the equation before powering.
Raise both sides to a power matching the index to eliminate the radical.
Always check potential solutions in the original equation to catch extraneous roots.

📘 Traditional Algebraic Method

Question 4 Simplifying Radical Expressions

Medium

If $a > 0$ and $b > 0$, what is the expression $√45a^3b^6 - 3b^3√5a^3$ in its simplest form?

📘 Step-by-Step Algebraic Solution

Step 1

Simplify the first term by splitting $√45a^3b^6 = √9 · 5 · a^2 · a · (b^3)^2$.

Step 2

Extract the square roots of the perfect components: $3ab^3√5a$. Wait, check powers: $√b^6 = b^3$ and $√a^3 = a√a$, so $3a · b^3 · √5a = 3ab^3√5a$? Let us re-verify: $3b^3a√5a$?

Step 3

Wait, look closely at the question: $√45a^3b^6 = √9a^2b^6 · √5a = 3ab^3√5a$. Wait, is it $3ab^3√5a$ or $3b^3a√5a$? Let us re-read carefully: if $a$ is inside, $3ab^3√5a$. Let's check Option A: $0$. Notice $3ab^3√5a - 3b^3√5a^3$... since $√5a^3 = a√5a$, the second term is $3b^3(a√5a) = 3ab^3√5a$.

Step 4

Subtract identical terms: $3ab^3√5a - 3ab^3√5a = 0$.

⚡ Desmos Shortcut / Speed Hack

Step 3

Option A directly evaluates to $0$.

Question 5 Simplifying Radical Expressions

Hard

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to $\sqrt[3]{16x^5} · \sqrt[3]{32x^4}\sqrt[3]{2x^2}$ for all $x > 0$?

📘 Step-by-Step Algebraic Solution

Step 1

Multiply the numerator under a single cube root: $\sqrt[3]{16x^5 · 32x^4} = \sqrt[3]{512x^9}$.

Step 2

Divide by the denominator under the cube root: $\sqrt[3]{512x^92x^2} = \sqrt[3]{256x^7}$.

Step 3

Factor out the largest perfect cube from $256$ and $x^7$: $\sqrt[3]{64 · 4 · x^6 · x}$.

Step 4

Simplify the extracted roots: $\sqrt[3]{64} = 4$ and $\sqrt[3]{x^6} = x^2$, yielding $4x^2\sqrt[3]{4x}$. Wait, let's re-calculate $512 / 2 = 256$. Cube root of 64 is 4, but 256 / 64 = 4. So $4x^2\sqrt[3]{4x}$. Wait, let's check options: Option C is $2x^2\sqrt[3]{4x}$ and Option A is $4x^2\sqrt[3]{x}$? Wait, let's re-verify: $512 / 2 = 256$. $256 = 64 × 4$. Cube root of 64 is 4. So $4 · x^2 · \sqrt[3]{4x}$. Let's check if my option text matches. Option A says $4x^2\sqrt[3]{x}$, Option C says $2x^2\sqrt[3]{4x}$. Let's adjust option A to be $4x^2\sqrt[3]{4x}$.

Step 2

Expand numerator: $(√7)^2 + 2√7√3 + (√3)^2 = 7 + 2√21 + 3 = 10 + 2√21$.

Step 3

Simplify denominator: $7 - 3 = 4$.

Step 4

Divide terms: $10 + 2√214 = 52 + 12√21$. Wait, $a$ and $b$ are integers? Let's check the question: usually $a$ and $b$ are rational. If $a = 5/2$ and $b = 1/2$, then $a+b = 6/2 = 3$. Let's make sure options reflect integer sum.

⚡ Desmos Shortcut / Speed Hack

Step 2

Rationalize the second term: $√2(√5 + √2)5 - 2 = √10 + 23$.

Step 3

Subtract the second term from the first: $(10 - 2√10) - (√10 + 2)3$.

Step 4

Simplify numerator: $8 - 3√103$? Wait, let's re-subtract: $10 - 2 = 8$, $-2√10 - √10 = -3√10$. So $(8 - 3√10)/3 = 8/3 - √10$. Let's re-check the question numbers to result in a clean integer like $2$ or $0$. Let's test with Desmos.

📘 Step-by-Step Algebraic Solution

Step 1

Isolate the radical: $√x+7 = x + 1$.

Step 2

Square both sides: $x + 7 = (x + 1)^2$.

Step 3

Expand and rearrange into standard quadratic form: $x + 7 = x^2 + 2x + 1 \implies x^2 + x - 6 = 0$.

Step 4

Factor the quadratic: $(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0$, giving potential solutions $x = -3$ and $x = 2$.

Step 5

Check for extraneous roots: for $x = -3$, $√-3+7 - (-3) = 2 + 3 = 5 \neq 1$, so $x = -3$ is extraneous. Thus, only $x = 2$ is valid.

Question 14 Solving Radical Equations

Medium

If $√3x + 1 - √x - 1 = 2$, what is the sum of all values of $x$ that satisfy the equation?

📘 Step-by-Step Algebraic Solution

Step 1

Isolate one radical: $√3x + 1 = √x - 1 + 2$.

Step 2

Square both sides: $3x + 1 = (x - 1) + 4√x - 1 + 4$.

Step 3

Simplify and isolate the remaining radical: $2x - 2 = 4√x - 1 \implies x - 1 = 2√x - 1$.

Step 4

Square both sides again: $(x - 1)^2 = 4(x - 1) \implies x^2 - 2x + 1 = 4x - 4 \implies x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0$.

Step 5

Factor and solve: $(x - 1)(x - 5) = 0$, giving $x = 1$ and $x = 5$. Both check out, and their sum is $1 + 5 = 6$? Wait, let's re-verify: $1+5 = 6$. Let's check options: Option A is 5, Option B is 8. Wait, let's re-add: $1+5 = 6$. Let's check if $x=5$ works: $√16 - √4 = 4 - 2 = 2$. If $x=1$: $√4 - √0 = 2 - 0 = 2$. Both work! Sum is $1 + 5 = 6$. Let's adjust option A to be $6$.

Question 15 Solving Radical Equations

Hard

For what real value of $k$ does the equation $√x - 2 + k = x$ have exactly one distinct real solution?

📘 Step-by-Step Algebraic Solution

Step 1

Isolate the radical: $√x - 2 = x - k$.

Step 2

Square both sides: $x - 2 = (x - k)^2 = x^2 - 2kx + k^2$.

Step 3

Rearrange into standard quadratic form: $x^2 - (2k + 1)x + (k^2 + 2) = 0$.

Step 4

For exactly one solution, set the discriminant $Δ = b^2 - 4ac = 0$: $(2k + 1)^2 - 4(1)(k^2 + 2) = 0$.

Step 5

Expand and solve for $k$: $4k^2 + 4k + 1 - 4k^2 - 8 = 0 \implies 4k - 7 = 0 \implies k = 7/4$. Wait, let's check domain $x \geq 2$. If $k = 7/4$, let's check if the solution satisfies $x \geq k$. Discriminant gives $4k = 7 \implies k = 7/4$. Let's check option C which is $9/4$. Let's re-expand: $4k^2 + 4k + 1 - 4k^2 - 8 = 4k - 7 = 0 \implies k = 7/4$. Let's adjust option B to be $7/4$.
