An algebraic exercise with fractions and radicals 2008-11-18
From Rubén:
Question from Rubén, a teacher:

I have the ecuation:

U = [yb / (ab+a^2)]^1/2 + [ya / (ab+b^2)]^1/2

I know for sure this reduces to

U = [y (1/a + 1/b)]^1/2

but I cannot find a way to get into that result!

Thanks

Equations involving radicals 2004-11-16
From Merin:

I am quite confused about solving radical equations. This is what I understand:
___
V x-3 = 3

Then you would square each side to get ride of the radical sign and then you solve the problem from there. (x=12 right?)

However, what about a problem with two radicals? For example:
___ ____
V x-2 + V 3x-3 = 3

No matter what I try I cant get the right answer!! Please help!!!

Where will we use this in the real world? 2000-10-11
From Jane Ann Musgrove:
As a teacher of mathematics, I am always asked "Where will we use this in the real world?". I am seeking ideas/sites via the internet where students can find answers to this type of question. Can you help me?

To be more specific, right now I am interested in finding careers where the employees would use the concepts of "Radicals", "Matrices", and "Logarithms". This information will be used by students to make presentations to the class on their findings from internet searches.

Square Roots and Functions. 1997-04-23
From Ed:
1. In most texts the solution to a question such as square root x = -6 is

x is undefined.

Yet when teaching to solve
xsquared = 36
x = +6 or -6

There appears to be a contradiction here. My question is when, where and why do we use the principle square root, not both + and -? This often occurs as the extraneous root in the solution of radical equations and in stating the domain and range of functions involving square roots.

2. Are there any simple rules for determining whether equations are functions without graphing them and doing a vertical line test?
Answered by Harley Weston.
