Evaluating nth rootsWhen evaluating a radical expression , the sign of a
and the index n will determine possible outcomes.If a is nonnegative, then , where and bn = a.If a is negative and n is even, then there is no real-number root.If a is negative and n is odd, then , where b is negative and bn = a.
n a
n a b 0b
n a b
nth root: The number b is an nth root of a number a if bn = a.

Some roots, like are called irrational because we cannot express their exact value using rational numbers. In fact, writing with the radical sign is the only way we can express its exact value. However, we can approximate using rational numbers.

Solution Since the index is even, the radicand must be nonnegative.
Solution The radicand must be nonnegative.

3 9 0x 3 9x
3x
Domain: 8 , or [8, )x x
Domain: 3 , or ( ,3]x x
Conclusion The domain of a radical function with an even index must contain values that keep its radicand nonnegative.

Power Rule for Solving EquationsIf both sides of an equation are raised to the same integer power, the resulting equation contains all solutions of the original equation and perhaps some solutions that do not solve the original equation. That is, the solutions of the equation a = b are contained among the solutions of an = bn, where n is an integer.
Radical equation: An equation containing at least one radical expression whose radicand has a variable.

Solving Radical EquationsTo solve a radical equation,1. Isolate the radical if necessary. (If there is more
than one radical term, isolate one of the radical terms.)
2. Raise both sides of the equation to the same power as the root index of the isolated radical.
3. If all radicals have been eliminated, solve. If a radical term remains, isolate that radical term and raise both sides to the same power as its root index.
4. Check each solution. Any apparent solution that does not check is an extraneous solution.
