  1. 11.3 Solving Radical Equations An equation that involves a radical expression with a variable in the radicand is a radical equation. To solve a radical equation, you need to isolate the radical on one side and then square both sides of the equation.

  2. Squaring both sides of the equation If a=b then Ex If

  3. Practice Makes Perfect (Check)

  4. Simplifying with radicals on both sides Always Check your solutions

  5. Try this one Don’t forget to __________

  6. Where in the world could I use this? If friction is ignored, the velocity v (in feet per second) of a roller coaster when it reaches the bottom of a hill, can be found using the formula , where h is the height (in feet) of the hill. The approximate velocity of one of the fastest roller coasters in the world is 176 ft/sec. Find the height of the hill.
