Radical equations contain variables under a radical (e.g., √(x+1)=x–3). Generally, isolate the radical, then square both sides carefully. For instance, √(x+1)=x–3 implies x+1=(x–3)²= x²–6x+9, giving x²–7x+8=0. Solutions must be checked to exclude extraneous ones introduced by squaring. This approach appears in geometry (distance formulas), physics (velocity or acceleration equations), and advanced algebra. Consistent practice ensures you systematically remove radicals, preserving correct solutions without false inclusions.
