    Solving Radical Equations
    ::解决激进等号

    Solving radical equations are very similar to solving other types of equations. The objective is to get x by itself. However, now there are radicals within the equations. Recall that the opposite of the square root of something is to square it.
    ::解决激进方程式与解决其他方程式非常相似。 目标是自己获得 x 。 但是, 现在方程式中存在激进方程式 。 回顾某方方程式的正方根对面是正方方形 。

    Let's determine if  x = 5  is the solution to 2 x + 15 = 8 .
    ::让我们确定 x=5 是否是 2x+15=8 的解决方案 。

    Plug in 5 for x to see if the equation holds true. If it does, then 5 is the solution.
    ::x 的插件在 5 中, x 看看方程式是否正确 。 如果是, 5 是解决方案 。

    2 ( 5 ) + 15 = 8 10 + 15 = 9 25 8

    We know that 25 = 5 , so x = 5 is not the solution. 
    ::我们知道25=5,所以x=5不是解决办法。

    Now, let's solve the following equations for x.
    ::现在,让我们解决x的以下方程式。

    1. 2 x 5 + 7 = 16
      ::2x-5+7=16

    To solve for x , we need to isolate the radical. Subtract 7 from both sides.
    ::要解决x,我们需要隔离激进分子,从两边减7

    2 x 5 + 7 = 16 2 x 5 = 9

    ::2x-5+7=162x-5=9

    Now, we can square both sides to eliminate the radical. Only square both sides when the radical is alone on one side of the equals sign.
    ::现在,我们可以让双方平分来消灭激进分子。 只有激进分子独自站在平等标志的一方时,双方才能平分。

    2 x 5 2 = 9 2 2 x 5 = 81 2 x = 86 x = 43

    ::2 - 52=922x-5=812x=86x=43

    Check: 2 ( 43 ) 5 + 7 = 86 5 + 7 = 81 + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16
    ::检查:2(43)-5+7=86-5+7=81+7=7=9+7=16

    ALWAYS check your answers when solving radical equations. Sometimes, you will solve an equation, get a solution, and then plug it back in and it will not work. These types of solutions are called extraneous solutions and are not actually considered solutions to the equation. 
    ::ALWAS 在解答激进方程式时检查您的答案。 有时, 您会解答方程式, 找到一个解决方案, 然后插入它, 它不会起作用 。 这些类型的解决方案被称为不相干解决方案, 而实际上不被认为是公式的解决方案 。

    1. 3 x 8 3 2 = 14
      ::3-83-214

    Again, isolate the radical first. Add 2 to both sides and divide by 3.
    ::再次将激进先锋孤立开来。 双方加2,分3,分2。

    3 x 8 3 2 = 14 3 x 8 3 = 12 x 8 3 = 4

    ::3 - 83 - 2 143x - 83 12x - 83 4

    Now, cube both sides to eliminate the radical.
    ::现在 立方两边消灭激进分子

    x 8 3 3 = ( 4 ) 3 x 8 = 64 x = 56

    ::x- 833=(- 4)3x-864x56

    Check: 3 56 8 3 2 = 3 64 3 2 = 3 4 2 = 12 2 = 14
    ::检查: 3-56- 83-2=3- 643-2=3- 4-2}12-214

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were asked to find  the length of the leg with  the unknown value. 
    ::早些时候,有人要求你用未知的值来寻找腿的长度。

    Use the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for x then substitute that value in to solve for the leg with the unknown.
    ::使用 Pythagorean 理论并解析 x , 然后用未知值替换此值, 以未知值解析腿 。

    3 2 + ( 2 x ) 2 ) = 5 2 9 + 4 x = 25 4 x = 16 x = 4

    ::32+(2x)2=529+4x=254x=16x=4

    Now substitute this value into the leg with the unknown.
    ::现在将此值替换为未知值 。

    2 4 = 2 2 = 4

    Therefore the leg with the unknown has a length of 4.
    ::因此,未知的腿长为4。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Solve for x:  x + 5 = 6 . Check your answer.
    ::解决 x: x+5=6. 请检查您的答案 。

    The radical is already isolated here. Square both sides and solve for x .
    ::激进分子已经在这里被隔离了 将两侧平开 解决 x 。

    x + 5 2 = 6 2 x + 5 = 36 x = 31

    ::x+52=62x+5=36x=31

    Check: 31 + 5 = 36 = 6
    ::检查: 31+5=36=6

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Solve for x:  5 2 x 1 + 1 = 26 . Check your answer.
    ::x: 52x- 1+1=26。请检查您的答案 。

    Isolate the radical by subtracting 1 and then dividing by 5.
    ::将激进分子隔离,减去1,然后除以5。

    5 2 x 1 + 1 = 26 5 2 x 1 = 25 2 x 1 = 5

    ::52x-1+1=2652x-1=252x-1=5

    Square both sides and continue to solve for x .
    ::两边的广场 继续解决 x 。

    2 x 1 2 = 5 2 2 x 1 = 25 2 x = 26 x = 13

    ::2 - 12=522x-1=252x=26x=13

    Check: 5 2 ( 13 ) 1 + 1 = 5 26 1 = 5 25 + 1 = 5 5 + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26
    ::检查: 52( 13) - 1+1=126 - 1=525+1=525=1=5_5=5=5=5=5=5=5=5=5+5=1=25+1=26

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Solve for x:  3 x + 11 4 2 = 3 . Check your answer.
    ::x: 3x+114-2=3。 请检查您的答案 。

    In this problem, we have a fourth root . That means, once we isolate the radical, we must raise both sides to the fourth power to eliminate it.
    ::在这个问题上,我们有第四根根根,这意味着一旦我们孤立了激进分子,我们必须将双方推向第四势力,以消灭它。

    3 x + 11 4 2 = 3 3 x 11 4 4 = 5 4 3 x 11 = 625 3 x = 636 x = 212

    ::3x+114-2=33x-1144=543x-111=6253x=636x=212

    Check: 3 ( 212 ) + 11 4 2 = 636 11 4 2 = 625 4 2 = 5 2 = 3
    ::检查:3(212)+114-2=636-114-2=6254-2=5-2=3
