LESSON 1: ILLUSTRATIONS OF QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

Today’s lesson it presents mathematical concepts in direct, straightforward,

and clear manner, which you can easily follow the key concepts of quadratic
equations. It will give you an essential understanding about analyzing and solving a
quadratic equation. The most important of which is the use of activities that harness
your critical thinking skills through a variety of exercises.

 Equation - a statement that the values of two mathematical expressions

are equal (indicated by the sign =).

 Factoring - finding what to multiply together to get an expression. It is

like “splitting” and expression into a multiplication of simpler expressions.

 Quadratic - comes from “quad” meaning square, because the variable

gets squared (like x2).

 Root - in mathematics, a solution to an equation, usually as a number or

an algebraic formula.

Let’s start with an activity by answering the following questions. This will help you
later in the lesson about quadratic equation.

Activity 1: Read and answer each question. Write your answer before the number.

1. Is the equation 9 – 4x = 15 quadratic?

a. Yes c. No
b. Maybe d. Linear
2
2. Is the equation x – 5x + 3 = 0 quadratic?
a. Yes c. No
b. Maybe d. Not at all
3. In the equation 3x2 + 11x = 2, what is the value of c?
a. -2 c. 2
b. 3 d. -3
2
4. In the equation 2x -3x – 5 = 0, what is the value of a?
a. 2 c. -2
b. -3 d. 3
5. Identify the given equation m2 – 5 = 20.
a. Quadratic c. Linear
b. Function d. system of linear

A quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical

sentence of degree 2 that can be written in the Why do you think a

must not be equal to
following standard form.
zero in the equation
ax2 + bx + c = 0?
ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real

numbers and a ≠ 0.
2
In the equation, ax is the quadratic term, bx is the linear term, and c is the constant term.

Example 1: 2x2 + 5x – 3 = 0 is a quadratic equation in standard form with

a = 2, b = 5, and c = -3.

Example 2: 3x(x – 2) = 10 is a quadratic equation. However, it is not written in

standard form.

To write the equation in standard form, expand the product and

make one side of the equation zero as shown below.

Activity 1: (Be guided with the rubric 1.1 below)

Identify which of the following equations are quadratic and which are not. If the equation
is not quadratic, explain.

1. 3m + 8 = 15 __________

2. x2 – 5x + 10 = 0 __________

3. 12 – 4x = 0 ___________

4. 2t2 – 7t = 12 ___________

5. 6 – 2x + 3x2 = 0 ___________

Activity 2: (Be guided with the rubric 1.1 below)

Write each quadratic equation in standard form, ax2 + bx + c = 0 then identify the values
of a, b, and c.

1. 3x – 2x2 = 7
Solution:

2. 5 – 2x2 = 6x
Solution:

3. (x + 3)(x + 4) = 0
Solution:

4. (2x + 7)(x – 1) = 0
Solution:

5. 2x(x – 3) = 15
Solution:

MATHEMATICS 9 Page 3
 6. (x + 7)(x – 7) = -3x
Solution:

7. (x – 4)2 + 8 = 0
Solution:

8. (x + 2)2 = 3(x + 2)
Solution:

9. (2x – 1)2 = (x + 1)2

Solution:

10. 2x(x + 4) = (x – 3)(x – 3)

Solution:
