Let's determine the equation which contains radicals or rational exponents.
When an equation has radicals or rational exponents, it has the form below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt{2x+2}=\sqrt[3]{4x-6} \\ \\ OR \\ \\ (2x+3)^{\frac{1}{2}}=(2x-6)^{\frac{1}{3}} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The expressions which make up the equation are called radical expressions while the equation is called an radical equation.
Therefore, an equation that contains radicals or rational exponents is a radical equation.
ANSWER:
Radical equation.
