Solve.
1. x5/2 = 32 2. x2/3 + 15 = 24
3. 4x3/4 = 108 x3/4 = 27
(x5/2 )2/5 = 322/5
x2/3 = 9
x = 22
x = (321/5)2
x = 4
(x2/3)3/2 = 93/2
x = (91/2)3
x = 33
x = 27
(x3/4)4/3 = 274/3
x = (271/3)4
x = 34
x = 81
7.5 Solving Radical Equations7.5 Solving Radical Equations
Objective - To be able to solve square root and other radical equations.
Radical Equation: an equation that has a variable in a radicand or a fractional exponent
Solve: x – 4 = 0Solve: x – 4 = 033
( x) = 4( x) = 43333 33
x = 64x = 64
Example 1:
x = 4x = 433

Example 2:
Solve: 2xSolve: 2x3/23/2 = 250 = 250
xx3/23/2 = 125 = 125
(x(x3/23/2))2/32/3 = 125 = 1252/32/3
x = 125 x = 125 2/32/3
x = 25x = 25
x = 5x = 522
Example 3:
Solve: 3x + 2 – 2 x = 0Solve: 3x + 2 – 2 x = 0
3x + 2 = 2 x3x + 2 = 2 x
( 3x+2)( 3x+2)2 2 = ( 2 x )= ( 2 x )22
3x + 2 = 4x3x + 2 = 4x
2 = x2 = x
Example 4:
Solve: x – 4 = 2xSolve: x – 4 = 2x
(x – 4)(x – 4)22 = ( 2x ) = ( 2x )22
xx22 – 8x + 16 = 2x – 8x + 16 = 2x
xx22 – 10x + 16 = 0 – 10x + 16 = 0
(x – 2)(x – 8) = 0(x – 2)(x – 8) = 0
x – 2 = 0 and x – 8 = 0x – 2 = 0 and x – 8 = 0
x = 2 and x = 8x = 2 and x = 8
