Problem-Solving Task

Radical Equations:

To engage this task meaningfully, students must be aware of the convention that the square root of "a" for a positive number "a" refers to the positive square root of "a". The purpose of this task is to show students a situation where squaring both sides of an equation can result in an equation with more solutions than the original one.
