Practice some problems that involve thinking about the conditions for obtaining extraneous solutions while solving radical equations. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a...

The steps to solving a rational equation are presented along with an explanation of extraneous roots.

The lesson examines solving absolute value equations and inequalities. Students learn about extraneous solutions, conjunctions, and disjunctions. Definitions, formulas, examples, and a quiz are included.

A thorough look at radical equations and how to solve them, including examples of several of the trickier types of problems and several of the common mistakes students make while solving them. Two interactive quizzes are provided for the...

An explanation on how to solve fractions in rational equations which mentions what to do when extraneous solutions occur when solving.

This section builds from previous sections on simplifying, multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting rational expressions, and it investigates how to apply those skills to solving rational equations. It also covers several...

The purpose of the task is to show students a situation where squaring both sides of an equation can result in an equation with more solutions than the original one, because it is possible to have two unequal numbers whose squares are...
