Which of the following graphs shows the solution to ?

Interpret the Solution(s) on the Graph: How would the solution(s) appear on the graph of ?

Continue Solving: After both sides of the equation are squared, the next step is to collect all terms on one side of the equation. Which of the following is the equation that results when all terms have been collected on one side?

Interpret the Solution(s) Graphically: The graph below was generated by sketching functions from the radical equation . The blue curve is the function  and represents the left side of the equation. The red curve is the function  and represents the right side of the equation. The dotted gold curve is the function . This represents the bottom half of the parabola that is NOT part of the equation. Click on the part of the graph that shows the actual solution to the radical equation .

Solve the Quadratic Equation: Since the function on the left side is a 2nd degree trinomial, the equation can be solved by either or . The solution(s) to this quadratic equation are (smaller value) and (larger value). The solutions to the quadratic equation are potential solutions to the square root equation.
