Reflection: Math Success

Solve It! This equation contains an infinite radical.
Square each side. You get a quadratic equation that also contains an infinite radical.
Are the two solutions of the quadratic equation also solutions of this equation? Explain.
Hint: consider substitution from one equation into the other.
No. By substitution:
Therefore, the solutions of the quadratic equation are both positive and negative, as follows:
The solution to the original equation is positive.
Yes. Given that
and that radicals simplify to only real numbers that are positive, as shown here:
both equations must have the same solutions.

Problem 1 Got It? Reasoning: Explain why a negative real number b has no real nth roots if n is even.
Any negative number squared is a positive number. Therefore, there can be no real nth roots (where n is even) for a negative number b.
By the rational root theorem and since b can be written as the following polynomial:
it follows that the only rational roots of b will be the factors of b over the factors of 0, which equal 0.
By Descartes' Rule of Signs and since b can be written as the following polynomial with no sign changes:

it follows that there can be at most 0 real nth roots.
