This document discusses how to solve radical equations in algebra. It provides rules for the order of operations and explains that to "undo" a root, you raise both sides of the equation to the reciprocal power. This can sometimes lead to extraneous solutions that do not fit in the original equation. It then provides 5 examples of solving radical equations step-by-step.

Radicals
This document discusses powers and radicals. It defines a radical as an expression denoted as , where n is the index and a is the radicand. There are different cases for the number of roots of a radical depending on if the radicand is positive or negative and if the exponent is even or odd. Radicals can be expressed as powers by making the denominator of a fractional exponent equal to the index of the radical. Equivalent radicals are obtained by multiplying or dividing the index and exponent by the same natural number. Simplifying radicals involves dividing out common factors between the index and exponent. Adding and multiplying radicals requires them to have the same index and radicand, while dividing involves reducing to a common index first.
A26 1 exponents
Exponents rules state that when multiplying the same base, add the exponents, when dividing the same base subtract the exponents, and when raising a product or quotient to a power, raise all factors or divisors to that power. A negative exponent moves the expression to the denominator.
0.2.p,r,l
Powers raise a number or symbol to an exponent by multiplying it by itself. Negative powers produce fractions. The product, power, and quotient rules describe how to manipulate exponents when multiplying, raising to a power, or dividing terms with the same base. A root extracts a root of a number by raising it to a fractional exponent. Common and natural logarithms are two types that describe the power to which bases of 10 or e must be raised to obtain a given number. Logarithm rules allow logarithms of multiplied, divided, or raised terms to be expressed in terms of the logarithms of their components.
Calc 5.5a
This document discusses exponential functions with bases other than e. It explains how to differentiate and integrate functions with other bases using the rules of exponents. It also provides examples of using exponential functions to model radioactive decay and compound interest over time.
Rationalising radicals
This document discusses three cases of rationalizing radicals, or removing radicals from denominators. Case 1 is when the radical is a square root, which is removed by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the square root. Case 2 is when the radical is not a square root, requiring multiplying by a power of the radical. Case 3 is when the denominator has a sum or subtraction of square roots, handled by multiplying numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. Exercises are provided for each case.

Bessel’s equation
Bessel's equation describes functions that arise in various physical problems, such as vibrating membranes and radar. The equation can be solved using an extended power series method to derive Bessel functions of the first kind, which are characterized by their orthogonality properties and represent solutions as a sum of integer powers of x.
Division of a fraction by a fraction
To divide one fraction by another, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This always yields an answer in lowest term. Examples are provided where fractions such as 6/8, 4/5, 7/8, and 5/6 are divided by fractions like 1/8, 2/3, 1/2, and 2/5 by using this rule of multiplying by the reciprocal.

To add fractions with unlike denominators, you must first find a common denominator by multiplying each fraction's denominator by the other fraction's denominator. Then add the numerators and place the sum over the common denominator. When multiplying fractions, the new numerator is the product of the original numerators and the new denominator is the product of the original denominators, which can then be simplified if possible. The reciprocal of a fraction is formed by switching the original numerator and denominator.

Integrating exponential functions requires applying the inverse rules of derivatives of exponential functions. When integrating expressions with e^u, the integral is simply e^u/du. For integrals with a constant multiple, the constant is placed in the numerator and the denominator is adjusted accordingly. Definite integrals of exponential functions can be used to find areas bounded by the functions, which may require evaluating by hand to obtain exact answers.

An equation contains an equal sign and is used to represent a relationship between quantities, where setting a variable equal to an expression allows you to solve for the variable. An expression does not contain an equal sign. To solve an equation means to find the solution, or value of the variable that makes the statement true. Solving an equation involves isolating the variable on one side of the equal sign. A variable stands for an unknown number, while a formula is an equation with two or more variables.

To find the product of two complex numbers in polar form, multiply the moduli and add the amplitudes. For the quotient of complex numbers in polar form, divide the first moduli by the second and take the difference of the amplitudes. The product or quotient's modulus is the product or quotient of the original moduli, and its amplitude is the sum or difference of the original amplitudes.
complex numbers
Complex numbers are numbers of the form a + bi, where a is the real part and bi is the imaginary part. Complex numbers can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided. When multiplying complex numbers, the real parts and imaginary parts are multiplied separately and combined. The conjugate of a + bi is a - bi. When a complex number is multiplied by its conjugate, the result is a real number equal to the modulus (magnitude) of the complex number squared. Complex numbers can also be expressed in polar form as r(cosθ + i sinθ), where r is the modulus and θ is the argument.

PC 1 continuity notes
A continuous function is defined as one that is defined at a point c, where the limit exists and the function approaches the same y-value from both sides of point c. A function may be discontinuous due to an infinite jump, a jump, or a point discontinuity. Rational functions are defined as the quotient of two polynomial functions. They have asymptotes which occur where the denominator is zero, creating either a vertical or horizontal asymptote in the graph. The end behavior of functions can be determined by considering whether they are increasing or decreasing over different intervals.
