Explain why proposed solutions of radical equations mustbe checked.ExampleFor Exercises 97 through 100, see the example below.Solve 1t2 - 3t2 - 22t2 - 3t = 0.SolutionSubstitution can be used to make this problem somewhat simpler.Since t2 - 3t occurs more than once, let x = t2 - 3t.1t2 - 3t2 - 22t2 - 3t = 0x - 22x = 0x = 22xx2 = 122x22x2 = 4xx2 - 4x = 0x1x - 42 = 0x = 0 or x - 4 = 0x = 4Now we undo the substitution.x = 0 Replace x with t2 - 3t.t2 - 3t = 0t1t - 32 = 0t = 0 or t - 3 = 0t = 3x = 4 Replace x with t2 - 3t.t2 - 3t = 4t2 - 3t - 4 = 01t - 421t + 12 = 0t - 4 = 0 or t + 1 = 0t = 4 t = -1
