An Alternative Approach to Solving Radical Equations.
Naraine, Bishnu
Mathematics Teacher, v86 n3 p204-05 Mar 1993
Explores the concept of extraneous roots in radical equations using an alternative to traditional algebraic methods. Using calculator- or computer-based graphs, accounts for extraneous roots by examining the four possible cases of systems of equations that can produce the solution to the radical equation. (MDH)
