ILLUSTRATING QUADRATIC
LESSON EQUATIONS

Start Lesson 1 of this module by assessing your knowledge of the

different Mathematics concepts previously studied and your skills in
performing mathematical operations. These knowledge and skills will
help you understand quadratic equations. As you go through this lesson,
think of this important question: “How are quadratic equations used in
solving real-life problems and in making decisions?’’ To find the answer,
perform each activity. If you find any difficulty in answering the exercises,
seek the assistance of your teacher or peers or refer to the modules you
have gone over earlier.

A quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical

sentence of degree 2 that can be written in standard form ax2
+ bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

Quadratic Equations in a Real Step

Mrs. Jacinto asked a carpenter to construct a
rectangular bulletin board for her classroom. She
told the carpenter that the board’s area must be 18
square feet. The length of the board is 7 ft. longer than its
width(x).

Based from the situation:

Width is represented by x ft. Can you formulate an equation?
Length is x + 7 ft
Area is 18 ft2 Can you describe the
formulated equation?
 5

The equation in the given situation is x(x + 7) = 18, since Area of rectangle
= lw. The result of the equation is x2 + 7x = 18 and this is an example of a quadratic
equation, since the equation has degree 2.

A quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical sentences of

degree 2 that can be written in standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and
c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

In the equation, ax2 is the quadratic term, bx is the linear term and c is the
constant term.

Example 1: 2x2 + 5x = 3
Standard form: 2x2 + 5x – 3 = 0 or Standard form: -2x2 - 5x + 3 = 0
a=2 b=5 c = -3 a=-2 b=-5 c=3

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

in standard form.
Solution: 3x(x – 2) = 10 Given
3x2 – 6x = 10 Apply Distributive Property
3x2 – 6x – 10 = 0

Standard form: 3x2 - 6x – 10 = 0 or Standard form: -3x2 + 6x + 10 = 0

a=3 b = -6 c = -10 a = -3 b=6 c = 10

Example 3: The equation (2x + 5)(x – 1) = -6 is also a quadratic equation but it

is not written in standard form.
Solution: (2x + 5)(x – 1) = -6 Given
2x2 – 2x + 5x – 5 = -6 By FOIL Method
2x2 + 3x – 5 + 6 = -6 + 6 Addition 2roperty of Equality
2x2 + 3x + 1 = 0

Standard form: 2x2 + 3x + 1 = 0 or Standard form: -2x2 - 3x - 1 = 0

a=2 b=3 c=1 a = -2 b = -3 c = -1
 6

When b = 0 in the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, it results to a quadratic

equation of the form ax2 + c = 0.

When c = 0 in the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, it results to a quadratic

equation of the form ax2 + bx = 0.

Examples:
Equations such as x2 + 5 = 0, -2x2 – 6 = 0 and 12x2 + 8 = 0 are
quadratic equations of the form ax2 + c = 0. In each equation, the value of b
= 0.

Equations such as x2 + 2x = 0, -3x2 – 16x = 0 and 4x2 + 8x = 0 are

quadratic equations of the form ax2 + bx = 0. In each equation, the value of
c = 0.
