  • A common formula for a human's body surface area is  BSA = W H 3600 ,  where  W is weight in kilograms and  H is height in centimeters. If the average BSA for a man is 1.9 m and the average height of a man is 175 centimeters, what is the average weight of a man in kilograms 1
    ::人体表面面积的通用公式是BSA=WH3600,其中W是公斤重量,H是厘米高度。如果男性的平均BSA为1.9平方米,而男性的平均高度为175厘米,那么男性的平均重量是多少?

    We need to solve an equation to answer this question—an equation with a square root . We see how to do that below.

    Solving Radical Equations
    ::解决激进等号

      Steps for Solving a Radical Equation
    ::解决激进等同的步骤

    1. Isolate the radical expression on one side of the equation.
    ::1. 孤立方程式一边的激进表达。

    2. Use the power rule of exponents to undo the radical, that is, 
    ::2. 利用推手的权力规则来消除激进,即:

    a 1 n = b ( a 1 n ) n = b n a = b n .

    ::an=b(a1n)n=bna=bn。

    3. Solve the equation.
    ::3. 解决等式。

    4. Check for extraneous solutions.
    ::4. 寻找不相干的解决办法。

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Solve 2 x 5 + 7 = 16 .
    ::解决 2x-5+7=16。

    Solution: To solve for x , we need to isolate the radical. Subtract 7 from both sides.
    ::解答: 要解决x, 我们需要分离激进分子。 从两边减去 7 。

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

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

    Now, we can square both sides to undo the radical. 
    ::现在,我们可以让双方平分 来推翻激进派

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

    :sad2x-5)2=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

       WARNING
    ::警告

    ALWAYS check your answers when solving radical equations. Sometimes you will solve one equation, get a solution, and then plug it back in, and it will not satisfy the equation. These types of "solutions" are called extraneous solutions and are not actually solutions. 

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Solve 3 x 8 3 2 = - 14 .
    ::解决 3x-83-2=14。

    Solution: Again, isolate the radical 1st. Add 2 to both sides and divide by 3.
    ::解决方案:再次将激进的一号隔离开来。 双方加2号,分3号,分3号。

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

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

    :sadx-8)33=(-4)3x-8=-64x=-56)

    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=12-2=14

    ::Greg Stiffler用立方根演示如何解析激进方程式。

     

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Solve  3 x + 11 4 2 = 3 .
    ::解决 3x+114-2=3。

    Solution: In this problem, we have a 4th root. That means, once we isolate the radical, we must raise both sides to the 4th power to eliminate it.
    ::解决问题:在这个问题上,我们有一个第四根根。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=3(3x-114)4=543x-11=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

    Example 4
    ::例4

    A common formula for a human's body surface area is B S A = W H 3 , 600 ,  where W is weight in kilograms and H is height in centimeters. If the average BSA for a man is 1.9 m 2 and the average height of a man is 175 centimeters, what is the average weight of a man in kilograms 1  
    ::人体表面面积的通用公式是BSA=WH3,600,其中W是公斤重量,H是厘米高度。如果男性的平均BSA为1.9平方米,而男性的平均高度为175厘米,那么男性的平均重量是多少?

    Solution:  Let's substitute the known values and then solve for W.
    ::解决方案:让我们取代已知的价值观,然后解决W。

    1.9 = W 175 3 , 600 1.9 = W 175 60 1.9 = .220 W 8.636 = W ( 8.636 ) 2 = ( W ) 2 74.587 = W
    The average man weighs about 74 kilograms.

    Example 5
    ::例5

    Solve  5 2 x 1 + 1 = 26 .
    ::解决52x-1+1=26。

    Solution: Isolate the radical by subtracting 1 and then dividing by 5.
    ::解决方案: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

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

    :sad2x-1)2=(5)22x-1=252x=26x=13)

    Check: 5 2 ( 13 ) 1 1 = 5 26 1 1 = 5 25 1 = 5 5 1 = 25 1 = 24
    ::检查: 52(13) - 1 - 1=526 - 1=1=1=1=525 - 1=5_5=1=1=1=1=5=1=1=25=1=24

    The solution does not check. Therefore , it is an extraneous solution . There are no solutions to this equation.
    ::解决方案无法校正。 因此, 它是一个不相干的解决办法 。 此方程式没有解决方案 。
