As you know, there are three birthdays which we can celebrate. The first birthday is our natural birth, the day we enter
this world. The second birthday is our spiritual birthday. This is when we receive baptism. By baptism, we are born again
by water, and in the Spirit, we become children of God. We enter the family of God. So, this is our second birthday. And, the
third birthday is the day of our death. We are born into eternal glory, eternal life. (Homily, August 15, 1991)

SITUATION
Mary and Joseph are doing a math project. Joseph can do the work twice as fast as Mary. If
they work together, they can finish the project in 4 hours. How long does it take Mary working
alone to do the same project?

Guide Questions:
1. If Mary can finish the job in x hours alone, how many hours will it take Joseph to do the
same job alone?
2. How would you represent the amount of work that Mary can finish in 1 hour? How about
the amount of work that Carol can finish in 1 hour?
3. If they work together, what equation would represent the amount of work they can finish
in 1 hour?
4. How would you describe the equation formulated in item 3?
5. How would you solve the equation formulated? What mathematics concepts and
principles are you going to use?

Note: This part must be discussed after soliciting the ideas from students.

Answers to the Guide Questions:


1. If Mary can finish the job in x hours alone, how many hours will it take Joseph to do the
same job alone?
Since “Joseph can do the work twice as fast as Mary” then he can do the job alone in 2x
hours.

2. How would you represent the amount of work that Mary can finish in 1 hour? How about
the amount of work that Carol can finish in 1 hour?

This is an equation that is transformable to quadratic equations. These equations may be


given in different forms. Hence, the procedures in transforming these equations to
quadratic equations may also be different.

Once the equations are transformed to quadratic equations, then they can be solved using
the techniques learned in previous lessons. The different methods of solving quadratic
equations, such as extracting square roots, factoring, completing the square, and using
the quadratic formula, can be used to solve these transformed equations.
(Students may express the same concept in various ways).

Note: The solution and answer to the problem should be presented to the students.

Lesson 1: Equations Transformable into Quadratic Equations

How to illustrate the process on how to solve equations transformable into quadratic equations?
Were you able to transform each equation above? Now it’s time to apply those equations to find
the solution of each equation in solving real-life problems.

How to solve equations transformable to quadratic equations (including rational algebraic


equations)?
Example 1: Solve x ( x – 10)=−21

This is a quadratic equation that is not written in standard form.

To write the quadratic equation in standard form, simplify the expression x(x – 10).
x ( x – 10)=−21 → x 2−10 x=−21

Write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form.


x 2−10 x=−21 → x 2−10 x+ 21=0

Use any of the four methods of solving quadratic equations in finding the solutions
of the equation x 2−10 x+ 21=0.

The roots of the equation x ( x – 10)=−21 are 3 and 7. Why? (To be discussed)

Check whether the obtained values of x make the equation x ( x – 10)=−21 true.

If the obtained values of x make the equation x ( x – 10)=−21 true, then the solutions
of the equation are x = 3 and x = 7.

Example 2: Solve ( x +1)2 +(x−3)2=15

The given equation is a quadratic equation but it is not written in standard form.
Transform this equation to standard form, then solve it using any of the methods of
solving quadratic equations.

To write the quadratic equation in standard form, simplify ( x +1)2 +( x−3)2=15.


( x +1)2 +(x−3)2=15 → x 2+ 2 x +1+ x 2−6 x+ 9=15

Write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form.


x 2+ 2 x +1+ x 2−6 x+ 9=15 → 2 x2 −4 x +10=15 → 2 x2 −4 x−5=0

Use any of the four methods of solving quadratic equations in finding the solutions
of the equation 2 x2 −4 x−5=0.

Lesson 2: Solving Problems Involving Quadratic Equations and Rational Algebraic Equations

How to represent real-life situations involving quadratic equations and rational algebraic
equations?
Many problems in other fields can be solved by means of quadratic equations. After forming an
equation from the given information in the problem, the solution can be derived using the
process discussed in the preceding sections.
MATHEMATICS G9_QUARTER 2

How to solve problems involving quadratic equations and rational algebraic equations?
Example 1: If the length of each side of a square is increased by 5 cm, the area is multiplied by 4.
What is the length of the original side of the square?

Solution: Let s be the length of a side of the square,


then s2 is the area of the original square
s+5 is the side of the new square

Area of the new square is 4 times the area of the original square.
( s+5 )2=4 ( s2 )

Write the given equation in standard form.


( s+5 )2=4 ( s2 ) → s2 +10 s +25=4 s2 → 3 s 2−10 s−25=0

Use any of the four methods of solving quadratic equations in finding the solutions
of the equation 3 s 2−10 s−25=0 .

−5
The roots are 5and .
3

A side of the square is a physical quantity that cannot assume a negative value.
Hence, only s=5 is accepted.

The length of the original square is 5 cm.

Example 2: A man drives 500 km to a business convention. On the return trip, he increases his
speed by 25 km per hour and saves 1 hour of driving time. How fast did he go in
each direction?

Solution: Let r be the speed in going to the convention


then r +25 be the speed of the return trip
500
be the length of time in going to the convention
r
500
be the length of time in returning from the convention
r +25

On the return trip, he increases his speed by 25 km per hour and saves 1 hour of
driving time.
500 500

r r + 25

Combine the terms on the right side.


500 525+ r

Multiply both sides by the LCD, LCD = r (r + 25).


500 525+ r
( ( )) (
r ( r +25)
r
= r (r +25) ( ))
r + 25
Simplify and write the equation in standard form.
500(r + 25)=r (525+r )
500 ( r +25 )=r (525+r ) → 500 r +12500=525 r +r 2 → r 2 +25 r−12500=0

Use any of the four methods of solving quadratic equations in finding the solutions
of the equation r 2 +25 r−12500=0.

The roots are −125and 100.

Speed is another measurement that cannot be negative. Only r =100 is a permissible


value.

Hence, the man drives 100 kph in going to the convention and returns at 125 kph.

Lesson 3: Quadratic Inequalities

What are quadratic inequalities?

A quadratic inequality is an inequality that contains a polynomial of degree 2 and can be


written in any of the following forms:

a. ax 2 +bx +c >0
b. ax 2 +bx +c <0
c. ax 2 +bx +c ≥ 0
d. ax 2 +bx +c ≤ 0
e. ax 2 +bx +c ≠ 0
where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
How to illustrate quadratic inequalities?
Some examples of inequalities illustrating quadratic inequalities are the following.
1. 2 x2 +5 x +1>0
2. s2−9<2 s
3. −3 r 2 +r−5 ≥ 0
4. t 2+ 4 t ≤ 10
5. m 2 ≠ 9

A solution to a quadratic inequality is a real number that will produce a true statement when
substituted for the variable.

Illustrative Example
Are −3, −2, and −1 solutions to x 2−x−6 ≤ 0?

1. Solve the inequality as though it is an equation.
Note: The real solutions to the equation become boundary points for the solution to the
inequality
2. Make the boundary points solid circles if the original inequality includes equality;
otherwise, make the boundary points open circles.
3. Select points from each of the regions created by the boundary points. Replace these “test
points” in the original inequality.
4. If a test point satisfies the original inequality, then the region that contains that test point
is part of the solution.
5. Represent the solution in graphic form and in solution set form.

How to solve quadratic inequalities?


Example 1: Solve ( x−3)( x +2)> 0.
Solve ( x – 3)(x+ 2)=0. By the zero product property, 
x – 3=0 or x +2=0, x=3 or x=−2.

Make the boundary points. Here, the boundary points are open circles because the
original inequality does not include equality.

Select points from the different regions created. Try the following:
Interval (−∞,−2) (−2 , 3) (3 ,+∞ )
Inequality x < -2 -2 < x < 3 x>3
Test points x=−3 x=0 x=4
( x−3)(x +2)> 0 ( x−3)(x +2)> 0 ( x−3)(x +2)> 0
(−3−3)(−3+2)>0 (0−3)(0+2)>0 ( 4−3)(4+ 2)>0
Solution (−6)(−1)>0 (−3)(2)>0 (1)(6)>0

Since x = –3 satisfies the original inequality, the region x < –2 is part of the solution.
Since x = 0 does not satisfy the original inequality, the region –2 < x < 3 is not part

Lesson 5: Solving Problems Involving Quadratic Inequalities

How to represent real-life situations involving quadratic inequalities?


Let's go over some of the rules and key words for solving word problems.

1. Read through the entire problem and highlight the important information and key
words that you need to solve the problem.
Key words: at least, at most, no more than, no less than, is less than, is greater than,
etc…
2. Identify your variables and write the inequality.
3. Solve and write your answer in a complete sentence.
4. Check or justify your answer.
How to solve problems involving quadratic inequalities?
Example 1: A company decided to increase the size of the box for the packaging of their canned
sardines. The length of the original packaging box was 30 cm longer than its width,
the height was 12 cm, and the volume was at most 4,800 cm3.
a) What could be the dimensions of the box? Give the possible dimensions of at least
three different boxes.
b) What could be the greatest possible dimensions of the box if each dimension is in
whole numbers?

Let w be the width of the box


w +30 be the length of the box

Since V =LWH , then (12)(w)(w+30)≤ 4800. (for at most, use ≤)

Simplifying the inequality, (12)(w)(w+30)≤ 4800 → w (w+ 30) ≤ 400


w (w+ 30) ≤ 400 → w 2+ 30 w−400 ≤ 0

Solving the inequality following the previous lesson, we have the following regions:

region ¿ [−40 , 10] ¿ +∞¿


decision x  x

The solution to the inequality is within the interval [−40 , 10], but since we are
considering the width of a box, consider ¿.

Thus, the dimensions of the box could be:


 If w = 2, then the length will be 32, {2 cm, 32 cm, 12 cm}
 If w = 5, then the length will be 35, {5 cm, 35 cm, 12 cm}
 If w = 7.5 cm, then length will be 37.5, {7.5 cm, 37.5 cm, 12 cm}

The greatest possible dimensions of the box is when w = 10, {10 cm, 40 cm, 12 cm}

Example 2: Supposed Aven drops a ball off the top of a 10foot pool slide, and the ball follows the
projectile h(t) = -16t2 + 6, where t is the time in seconds, and h is the height of the
ball in feet. Her friend Riley needs to catch the ball at least 5 feet off the top of the
water (ground). What time should Riley try to catch the ball?

Simplifying the inequality, −16 t 2+ 6≥ 5 → −16 t 2+1 ≥ 0

Solving the inequality following the previous lesson, we have the following regions:

region ¿ −1 1 ¿ +∞¿
[ , ]
4 4
decision x  x

−1 1
The solution to the inequality is within the interval [ , ], but since we are
4 4
considering the time, consider ¿.

The catching time for at least 5 feet is at most ¼ second.

Example 3: If the product of two positive consecutive even integers is increased by 4, the result
is greater than 84. What is the smallest possible pair of these integers?

Let x be the width of the box


x +2 be the length of the box

The inequality is x ( x+ 2)+ 4>84.

Simplifying the inequality, x ( x +2 ) + 4>84 → x 2+ 2 x−80>0.

Solving the inequality following the previous lesson, we have the following regions:

region (−∞ ,−10) (−10 , 8) ¿ +∞¿


decision  x 

The solution to the inequality is within the interval (−∞ ,−10) or ¿ + ∞ ¿but since we
are considering the positive integers, consider the interval ¿ + ∞ ¿.

Thus, the smallest pair of these even integers is (10, 12).

Lesson 6: Quadratic Functions

What are quadratic functions?


We previously defined a linear function to be a function of the form f (x)=mx+b, where m
and b are real numbers. The equation defining a linear function is a first-degree equation.
We are now ready to extend the idea of the first-degree equations to second-degree
equations. These equations define quadratic functions.

A quadratic function is a function defined by the equation of the form ( x)=¿ ax 2 +bx +c , where
a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

How to identify/represent whether the given function is a quadratic function or not given: (a)
table of values; (b) graph; (c) equation?
A quadratic function is a function if:
 given the table of values, equal differences in x produce equal second differences in y.

Thus, the example above is a quadratic function.

 given the graph, any function that can be written in the form y = ax 2 + bx + c is called a
quadratic function. The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola opening upward or
downward.
 given the equation, it is a function if it can be written in the form y = ax2 + bx + c.

Illustrative Examples
State whether each of the following illustrates a quadratic function or not.
1. y = 2(x + 3)(x – 2)

Lesson 7: Vertex Form of a Quadratic Function

How to transform the quadratic function defined by y=a x2 +bx +c into the form y=a ( x – h )2+ k
and vice versa?

The vertex form of a quadratic is given by  y=a ( x – h )2+ k, where (h , k ) is the vertex. 
The "a" in the vertex form is the same "a" as in  y=a x2 +bx +c  (that is, both a's have exactly the
same value). The sign on "a" tells you whether the quadratic opens up or opens down. 

Example 1: Express y=3 x 2 – 4 x+1 in the form y=a(x−h)2+k form and give the values of h
and k.
Solution:
y=3 x 2 – 4 x+1
y=(3 x 2 – 4 x)+1 Group together the terms containing x.

Hence, y=x 2−4 x−10 can be expressed as y= ( x −2 )2−14 .

In the example y=x 2−4 x−10, a=1, b=−4 and c=−10.

By substituting the solved values of h and k in y = a(x - h) + k, we obtain y = (x –

Example 3: Rewrite the equation y = 3(x – 2)2 + 4 in the general form y = ax2 + bx + c.

Solution: Expand y = 3(x2 – 4x + 4) + 4.


Simplify y = 3x2 – 12x + 16.

Example 4: Rewrite the equation y = -2(3x – 1)2 + 5x in the general form y = ax2 + bx + c.

Solution: Expand y = -2(9x2 – 6x + 1) + 5x.


Simplify y = -18x2 + 17x – 2.

Exodus 19: 20-25 “The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So, Moses
went up and the Lord said to him, “Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see the Lord
and many of them perish. Even the priests, who approach the Lord, must consecrate themselves, or the Lord will break
out against them.” Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, ‘Put
limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’” The Lord replied, “Go down and bring Aaron up with you. But the
priests and the people must not force their way through to come up to the Lord, or he will break out against them.”

FR. AL’S MESSAGE:


You will receive this Visitor, this Guest, this Holy Spirit and He will give you these gifts of charity, wisdom and courage. As
the apostles, you, too, will be able to speak of Jesus to your friends, your brothers, your sisters, to your families and to your
neighbors, always with charity, with love, with wisdom, with courage, with strength. We must prepare our hearts to
receive this Visitor from heaven. (Homily, April 16, 1989)

Lesson 8: Graphing Quadratic Functions

What are the properties of the graph of a quadratic function?


To better understand the properties of the graph of a quadratic function, study some key
concepts below.

Regardless of the format, the graph of a quadratic function y=a x2 +bx +c is called parabola.
1. It has a turning point called vertex which is either the lowest point or the highest point
of the graph. You have noticed that the parabola opens upward or downward. If the
value of a> 0, the parabola opens upward and has a minimum point. If a< 0, the
parabola opens downward and has a maximum point. If the quadratic function is
expressed in the form y=a ( x −h )2 +k , the vertex is the point (h , k ).
Note: The value of k is the maximum or the minimum value of the function.
2. There is a vertical line passing through the vertex called the axis of symmetry which
divides the graph into two parts such that one-half of the graph is a reflection of the
other half. If the quadratic function is expressed in the form y=a ( x – h )2+ k , line x=h is
the axis of symmetry.
3. The domain of a quadratic function is the set of all real numbers. The range depends on
whether the parabola opens upward or downward. If it opens upward, the range is the
set { y : y ≥ k }; if it opens downward, then the range is the set { y : y ≤ k }.
4. The y-intercept of a graph is where it touches the y-axis. You will notice that whenever
a graph touches the y-axis, its x – value is equal to zero.
5. The x-intercept of a graph is where it touches the x-axis. You will notice that whenever
a graph touches the x-axis, its y – value is equal to zero.

Lesson 9: Transformations of a Quadratic Function

How to analyze the effects of changing the values of a, h and k in the equation y=a ( x −h )2 +k of a
quadratic function on its graph?
The coefficient a controls the speed of increase (or decrease) of the quadratic function from the
vertex; a bigger positive a makes the function increase faster and the graph appear more closed
(or narrower). The coefficients a and b together control the axis of symmetry of the parabola.

 These movements are


called transformations. Transform 
means change, and
these transformations change the
simple function by moving
(translation), flipping (reflection)
and making the graph appear more
or less steep (dilation).

What is the effect of changing the values of a in the equation y=a ( x −h )2 +k on its graph?

 In the graph of y=a ( x −h )2 +k , the larger the


¿ a∨¿ is, the narrower is the graph.

 In the graph of y=a ( x −h )2 +k, the smaller the


¿ a∨¿ is, the wider is the graph.

 In the graph of y=a ( x −h )2 +k , when a> 0, the


graph is pointing upward.

 In the graph of y=a ( x −h )2 +k, when a< 0, the


graph is pointing downward.

What is the effect of changing the values of h in


the equation y=a ( x – h )2+ k on its graph?
 For a> 0, the parabola opens upward. To
graph y=a ( x −h )2, slide the graph of y=a x2
horizontally h units.

 If h> 0, slide it to the right, if h< 0, slide it to


the left. The graph has vertex (h , 0) and its
axis is the line x=h.
2 2
 In the example, f 1 ( x)=( x−3 ) is 3 units to the right of f (x)= x2 and f 2 ( x)=( x +3 ) is 3 units to
the left of f (x)= x2.

What is the effect of changing the values of k in the equation y=a ( x – h )2+ k on its graph?
 To graph y=a x2 +k , slide the graph of y=a x2 vertically k
units. If k > 0 slide it upward; if k < 0, slide it downward. The
graph has vertex (0 , k ) and its axis of symmetry is the line
x=0 (y – axis).
 In the example, y=x 2 – 2 (red) is 2 units below the graph of
y=x 2 (blue).

Note:
 To graph y=a ( x – h )2+ k , slide the graph of y=a x2 horizontally h units and vertically k units.
The graph has a vertex (h , k ) and its axis of symmetry is the line x=h.
 If a< 0, the parabola opens downward. The same procedure can be applied in transforming
the graph of a quadratic function.
 In standard form f (x)=a ( x−h )2 +k , the vertex (h , k ) can be directly obtained from the values
of h and k.

 In general form f (x)=a x2 +bx +c, the vertex (h , k ) can be obtained using the formulas h=

Lesson 10: Finding the Quadratic Function Given the Table of Values, Graph or Zeros

How do we define and illustrate maximum and minimum?

Let f be a quadratic function with standard form f (x)=a ( x – h )2+ k . The maximum or
minimum value of f occurs at x=h.

Let f be a quadratic function with standard form f (x)=a x2 +bx +c. The maximum or minimum
−b
value of f occurs at x= .
2a

Illustrative Examples
Consider the quadratic function f (x)=5 ( x – 3 )2 + 4 at the right. Since the coefficient of x 2 is
positive, f has a minimum value. The minimum value is at f (3)=4.
How to determine the equation of a quadratic function given: (a) a table of values; (b) graph; (c)
zeros?
You can go over the illustrative examples below to better understand the procedure on how to
determine the equation of a quadratic function given the table of values, graphs and zeros.

Illustrative Example 1: Find a quadratic function whose zeros are −1 and 4.

Solution: If the zeros are −1 and 4, then x=−1 or x=4. It follows that x +1=0 or x−4=0,
then ( x +1)( x −4)=0 or x 2−3 x−4=0.

The equation of the quadratic function f (x)=( x 2−3 x−4 ) is not unique since there are
other quadratic functions whose zeros are −1 and 4 like f ( x )=2 x 2−6 x−8 ,
f (x)=3 x 2−9 x−12 and many more. These equations of quadratic functions are obtained
by multiplying the righthand side of the equation by a nonzero constant.

Thus, the answer is f (x)=a(x 2−3 x−4) where a is any nonzero constant.

Illustrative Example 2: Determine the equation of the quadratic function represented by the
table of values below.
x −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3
y 24 16 10 6 4 4 6

Solution: Notice that you can’t find any zeros from the given table of values. In this case,
take any three ordered pairs from the table, and use these as the values of x and y in the
equation y=a x2 +bx +c . Let’s say

Using the point (1, 4), 4=a ( 1 )2 +b (1)+ c


4=a+b+ c (Equation 1)

Using the point (-1, 10), 10=a (−1 )2+ b(−1)+c


10=a−b+c (Equation 2)

Using the point (2, 4), 4=a ( 2 )2+ b(2)+ c


4=4 a+ 2b +c (Equation 3)

We obtain a system of 3 equations in a, b, and c. Add corresponding terms in equation 1 and


equation 2 to eliminate b.

4=a+b+ c (Equation 1)
10=a−b+c (Equation 2)
_________________
We have 14=2 a+2 c (Equation 4)

Multiply the terms in equation 2 by 2 and add corresponding terms in equation 3 to eliminate
b.
20=2 a−2 b+2 c (Multiply equation 2 by 2)
4=4 a+ 2b +c (Equation 3)
_____________________
We have 24=6 a+ 3 c (Equation 5)

Notice that equation 4 and equation 5 constitute a system of linear equations in two variables.
To solve for c, multiply the terms in equation 4 by 3 and subtract corresponding terms in
equation 5.
42=6 a+6 c (Multiply equation 4 by 3)
24=6 a+ 3 c (Equation 5)
_________________
We have 18=3 c
c=6

Substitute the value of c in equation 4 and solve for a.


14=2 a+2(6)
14=2 a+12
2 a=14−12
a=1
Substitute the value of c and a in equation 1 and solve for b.
4=a+b+ c
4=1+ b+6
4=7 +b
b=4 – 7
b=−3

Thus, a=1, b=−3, and c=6. Substitute these in f (x)=a x2 +bx +c; the quadratic function is
f (x)= x2−3 x +6 .

When the vertex and any point on the parabola are clearly seen, the equation of the quadratic
function can easily be determined by using the form of a quadratic function y=a ( x −h )2 +k .

Illustrative Example 3: Find the equation of the quadratic function determined from the graph
below.

Solution: The vertex of the graph of the quadratic function is (2 ,−3). The graph
passes through the point (5,0). By replacing x and y with 5 and 0, respectively,
and h and k with 2 and −3, respectively, we have
2
y=a ( x −h ) +k
0=a ( 5−2 )2 +(−3)
2
0=a ( 3 ) −3
3=9 a
1
a=
3

1 2 1 2 4 5
Thus, the quadratic equation is y= ( x−2) −3 or y= x − x− .
3 3 3 3

Aside from the method presented above, you can also determine the equation of a quadratic
function by getting the coordinates of any 3 points lying on the graph. You can follow the
steps in finding the equation of a quadratic function using this method by following the
illustrative example presented previously in this section.

Lesson 11: Solving Problems Involving Quadratic Functions

How to model real-life situations using quadratic functions and solve problems involving
quadratic functions?

Illustrative Example 1: What are the dimensions of the largest rectangular field that can be
enclosed by 80 m of fencing wire?

Solution: Letl and w be the length and width of a rectangle. Then, the perimeter P of a
rectangle is P = 2l + 2w.

Since P = 80 m, thus,
2 l+ 2 w=80
l+w=40
l=40−w
Expressing the length as a function of w.
f (w)=40−w

Substituting in the formula for the area A of a rectangle


A(w)=wl
A(w)=w (40 – w)
A(w)=−w2 +40 w
By completing the square,
A(w)=−(w−20)2+ 400

The vertex of the graph of the function A(w) is (20, 400). This point indicates a maximum
value of 400 for A(w) that occurs when w = 20. Thus, the maximum area is 400 m 2 when the
width is 20 m. If the width is 20 m, then the length is (40 – 20) m or 20 m also. The field with
maximum area is a square.

How to model real-life situations using quadratic functions and solve problems involving
quadratic functions?

Illustrative Example 2: From a 96-foot building, an object is thrown straight up into the air then
follows a trajectory. The height S(t ) of the ball above the building after t seconds is given by the
function S(t )=80 t – 16 t 2.
1. What maximum height will the object reach?
2. How long will it take the object to reach the maximum height?
3. Find the time at which the object is on the ground.

Solution:
1. The maximum height reached by the object is the ordinate of the vertex of the parabola
of the function S(t )=80 t – 16 t 2. By transforming this equation into the completed square
form we have,
S( t )=80 t – 16 t 2
S ( t ) =– 16 t 2+ 80 t
S ( t ) =– 16(t 2−5 t )
25
S ( t ) =– 16( t ¿ ¿ 2−5t + )+100 ¿
4
2
5
( )
S ( t ) =−16 t− +100
2

The vertex is ( 52 , 100). Thus, the maximum height reached by the object is 100 ft from the
top of the building. This is 196 ft from the ground.

2. The time for an object to reach the maximum height is the abscissa of the vertex of the
parabola or the value of h.
S ( t ) =– 16 t 2+ 80 t
5 2
( )
S ( t ) =−16 t− +100
2
5
Since the value of h is or 2.5, then the object is at its maximum height after 2.5 seconds.
2

3. To find the time it will take the object to hit the ground, let (t)=−96 , since the height of
the building is 96 ft. The problem requires us to solve for t.
S ( t ) =– 16 t 2+ 80 t
−96=– 16 t 2 +80 t
16 t 2−80 t−96=0

t 2−5 t−6=0
(t−6)(t +1)=0
t=6∨t=−1

Thus, it will take 6 seconds before the object hits the ground.

Illustrative Example 3: A garments store sells about 40 t-shirts per week at a price of Php 100
each. For each Php 10 decrease in price, the sales lady found out that 5 more t-shirts per week
were sold. Write a quadratic function in standard form that models the revenue from t-shirt
sales. What price produces the maximum revenue?

Solution: Let x be the number of additional number of t-shirts sold.


You know that Revenue R( x ) = (price per unit) × (number of units produced or sold).

Therefore, Revenue R( x ) = (Number of t-shirts sold) (Price per t-shirt)


Revenue R( x )=(40+5 x)(100 – 10 x )
R ( x )=−50 x 2+100 x +4000

If we transform the function into the form y=a ( x −h )2 +k


R( x )=−50 ( x−1 )2 +4050
The vertex is (1 , 4050).

Thus, the maximum revenue is Php 4,050

The price of the t-shirt to produce maximum revenue can be determined by


P( x )=100 – 10 x
P( x )=100 – 10(1)=90

Thus, Php 90 is the price of the t-shirt that produces maximum revenue.

Illustrative Example 4: A number is 20 more than another number. Find the two numbers such
that the product is the minimum.

Solution: Let x be the number, then x +20 is the other number.


P( x )=x ( x+ 20)
P( x ) = x 2+ 20 x
P( x )=¿ ( x +10)2−100
The vertex is (−10 ,−100).

Thus, the minimum product is when the number is −10 and the other number is 10.

Illustrative Example 5: Find two consecutive odd integers such that the sum of their squares is
minimum.

Solution: Let x be the number, then x +2 is the other number.


P ( x ) =x 2+( x+ 2)2
P( x ) = x 2+ x2 + 4 x+ 4
P( x )=¿ 2 x2 + 4 x+ 4
P( x )=¿ 2(x +1)2 +2
The vertex is (−1 , 2).

Thus, the minimum product is when the number integers are −1 and 1.

This module will help the learners understand and realize these messages from the Holy Scriptures and from Fr. Al.

SCRIPTURAL MESSAGE:
2 Corinthians 9:4-14 “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap
generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or compulsion, for God loves a
cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in
every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” Now he
who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of
your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion and through us your
generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

FR. AL’S MESSAGE:


The Eucharist is the bread of life. We receive this divine life, this divine energy, this divine fire, this divine grace in the Eucharist if we
receive it with faith, it stirs up within us the will to accomplish something for God, to work, to do good. (Homily, Undated)

Lesson 12: Direct and Inverse Variation

What are direct variations? inverse variations? constant of variations?


One variable varies directly or is directly proportional to another variable if the ratio of a
value of the first to the corresponding value of the second remains.

y
If the two variables are x and y, then y varies directly as x if
=k or y=kx, where k is a non-
x
zero constant, the constant k is called the constant of variation or the constant of
proportionality.

One variable varies inversely or is inversely proportional to another variable if the product of
a value of the first to the corresponding value of the second remains.
k
If the two variables are x and y, then y varies inversely as x if xy=k or y= , where k is a non-
x
zero constant, the constant k is called the constant of variation or the constant of
proportionality.

Note: Let the students see and
understand the given situation taken
from the Activity 1 (A1).

If the distance d varies directly


as the time t, then the
relationship can be translated
into a mathematical statement
as d=kt, where k is the constant
of variation. Likewise, if the
distance d varies directly as the

How to solve problems involving direct variation?

Illustrative Example 3: The length (L) of a spring is directly proportional to the force ( f )
applied to it. If a force 4 kg stretches a spring to 8 cm, how much force is necessary to stretch
the same spring to 25 cm?
Solution:
a. Express the statement “the length (L) of a spring is directly proportional to the force (f
) applied to it” as L=kf .
b. Solve for k by substituting the given values in the equation.

L=kf
8=4 k
k =2 → constant of the variation or proportionality constant
c. Form the equation of the variation by substituting 2 in the statement, L=kf .
L=2 f → equation of the variation
d. Substitute the value of L=25 to the equation of variation L=2 f .
L=2 f
25=2 f
f =12.5
Therefore, the force needed to stretch the spring to 25 cm is 12.5 kg.

Illustrative Example 4: The weight (W ) of a slab of wood varies directly with its surface area (
S). If 0.8 square meters of that wood weighs 220g, what is the weight of a slab of wood with a
surface area of 2 square meters?
Solution:
a. Express the statement “the weight (W ) of a slab of wood varies directly with its surface
area (S)” as W =kS.
b. Solve for k by substituting the given values in the equation.

W =kS
220=0.8 k
k =275 → constant of the variation or proportionality constant
c. Form the equation of the variation by substituting 275 in the statement, W =kS.
W =275 S → equation of the variation
d. Substitute the value of S=2 to the equation of variation W =275 S.
W =275 S
W =275(2)
W =550
Therefore, a slab of wood with area 2 square meters weighs 550 g.

Lesson 15: Joint and Combined Variation

What are joint variations? combined variations?

Joint variation is just like direct variation, but involves more than one other variable.  All the
variables are directly proportional, taken one at a time. 

If a variable z varies directly as x p, where p>0 when y is held constant, and varies directly as
y q , where x is held constant, then z is said to vary jointly as x and y. Therefore, the equation is
written in the form z=k x p y q.

Combined variation describes a situation where a variable depends on two (or more) other
variables, and varies directly with some of them and varies inversely with others (when the
rest of the variables are held constant).

If a variable z varies directly as x p, where p>0 when y is held constant, and varies inversely as
y q , where x is held constant, then z is said to be an example of combined variation. Therefore,
k xp
the equation is written in the form z= q .
