Answered by GPT-4o mini
An extraneous solution of a rational equation is a solution that emerges during the solving process but does not satisfy the original equation. This often occurs when both sides of the equation are multiplied by an expression that could be zero, leading to solutions that are not valid in the context of the original equation.
