Question

Solve the radical equation 13 minus fourth root of x equals 10 Check for extraneous solutions

hintHint:

Rearrange the equation and then solve for x.

The correct answer is: x = 81 works


    Complete step by step solution:
    Here we have the equation 13 minus fourth root of x equals 10
    On rearranging, we have fourth root of x equals 3

    not stretchy rightwards double arrow x to the power of 1 fourth end exponent equals 3
    To make the power of the equation as 1, we have to raise the equation by 4
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow x to the power of 1 fourth cross times 4 end exponent equals 3 to the power of 4
    ⇒ x = 81
    On substituting the value of x in the equation, we get
    13 minus fourth root of 81 equals 13 minus 3 equals 10
    Hence x = 81 works.
    Hence there is no extraneous solution.
