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

1. How is the square of a binomial obtained without using the long method of

2. Explain how the quadratic function in the form y = a(x - h)2 + k can be transformed into
the form y = ax2 + bx +c.
Note: Connect the activity on how the quadratic function in the form y = ax 2 + bx +c can be
transformed into the form y=a ( x −h )2 +k .
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.

SCRIPTURAL MESSAGE:
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.”

a. Given the quadratic functions y=x 2 – 2 x – 3 and y=−x2 + 4 x – 1, transform them into the
form y=a ( x – h )2+ k .
y=a x2 +bx +c y=a ( x – h )2+ k
y=x 2−2 x−3
y=−x2 + 4 x−1
e. Which of the 2 quadratic functions has a minimum point? maximum point? Indicate
below.
Quadratic Function Vertex (Turning Point) Maximum or Minimum
2
y=x −2 x−3
y=−x 2+4 x−1
f. Observe each graph. Can you draw a line that divides the graph in such a way that one
part is a reflection of the other part? If there is any, determine the equation of the line?
g. Take a closer look at the minimum point or the maximum point and try to relate it to the
values of h and k in the equation y=a ( x – h )2+ k of the function. Write your observations.
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.

Note: Let one representative from each group introduce the task assigned to them and discuss
the answers to the guide questions. You are expected to clarify some concepts presented by the
reporter that may not help in answering the task.
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.
What is the effect of changing the values of a in the equation y=a ( x −h )2 +k on its graph?
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.

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

a. Describe the graph.
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
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.
Discussion Guide
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?
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.
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.
Thus, the minimum product is when the number integers are −1 and 1.

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

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.

Note: Explain to the students that the situation above illustrates a combined variation. As
another physical relationship among variables, from the name itself, this is the kind of variation
that involves both the direct and inverse 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,
