EQUATION

Lesson 3.1 Solving Quadratic Equations That Are Not Written in Standard
Form
Quadratic Equation is an equation of degree 2, which means the highest
exponent of this equation is 2. It can be written in the form ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a,
b and c are all real numbers and a cannot be 0. Examples of Quadratic Equations
include all of these:
1 1
x 2 – 4x + 3 = 0 s 2 = 100 y2 - y -1 =
9 4
0
x 2 + 6x + 9 = 0 x 2 – 7x + 12 = 2 8x2 = 30x – 25

Solving Quadratic Equations That Are Not Written in Standard Form

Example 1: Solve x (x – 6) = 16.
This is a quadratic equation that is not written in standard form. So, to transform the
equation in standard form the following steps can be followed.
A. Write the equation into standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0
x (x – 6) = 16 x2 – 6x = 16

B. Write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form.

x 2 – 6x = 16 x2 -6x – 16 = 0

C. Use any of the four methods of solving quadratic equations in finding the
solutions of the equations x2 -6x – 16 = 0.
D. Try factoring in finding the roots of the equation.
x 2 -6x – 16 = 0. (x – 8) (x + 2) = 0
E. Solve each resulting equation.
x–8=0 x=8
x+2=0 x = -2

2
 F. Check whether the obtained values of x make the equation x (x – 6) = 16 true.
So, If x = 8.
x(x -6) = 16 8(8 -6) = 16
8(2) = 16
16 = 16
If x = -2.
x(x -6) = 16 -2(-2 - 6) = 16
-2 (-8) = 16
16= 16
G. If the obtained values of x make the equation x (x – 6) = 16 true, then the
solutions of the equation are: x = 8 or x = -2
Example 2: Find the roots of the equation (x + 5)2 + (x – 2)2 = 37.
This equation is a quadratic equation but not written in standard form.
A. Write the equation into standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0
(x + 5)2 + (x – 2)2 = 37 (x + 5) (x + 5) + (x – 2) (x – 2) = 37
x 2 + 10x + 25 + x2 – 4x + 4 = 37
Combined like terms x 2 + x2 + 10x -4x + 25 + 4 = 37
2x2 + 6x + 29 = 37
B. Write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form.
2x2 + 6x + 29 = 37 2x2 + 6x + 28 - 37 = 0
2x2+ 6x -8 = 0
C. Use any of the four methods of solving quadratic equations in finding the
solutions of the equations 2x2 + 6x – 8 = 0
D. Try factoring in finding the roots of the equation.
2x2 + 6x – 8 = 0 (2x – 2) (x + 4) = 0
E. Solve each resulting equation.
2x 2
2x – 2= 0 2x = 2 = x=1 x + 4= 0 x = -4
2 2
F. Check whether the obtained values of x make the equation (x + 5) 2 + (x – 2)2
= 37 true.
G. If the obtained values of x make the equation (x + 5) 2 + (x – 2)2 = 37 true, then
the solutions of the equation are: x = 1 or x = -4.

Lesson 4
PROBLEM SOLVING INVOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS AND
RATIONAL ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS

Lesson 4.1 Solves problems involving quadratic equations

The concept of quadratic equations is illustrated in many real-life situations.
Problems that arise from these situations, such as those involving areas, work,
profits, and many others, can be solved by applying the different mathematics
concepts and principles previously studied including quadratic equations and the
different ways of solving them.
Example 1: A rectangular table has an area of 27ft 2 and a perimeter of 24ft.
What are the dimensions of the table?
Solution:
The product of the length and width of the rectangular table represents its
area. Hence, length (l) times width (w) = 27 or lw = 27.
Also, twice the sum of the length and the width of the table gives the
perimeter. Hence, 2l + 2w = 24.
If we divide both sides of the equation 2l + 2w = 24 by 2, then l + w = 12.
We can think of lw = 27 and l + w = 12 as the equations representing the
product and sum of roots, respectively, of a quadratic equation.
Remember that if the sum and the product of the roots of a quadratic equation
are given, the roots can be determined. This can be done by inspection or by
using
2 b c
x + x+ =0
a a

5
 By inspection, the numbers whose product is 27 and whose sum is 12 are 3
and 9.
Product: (3) ( 9) = 27
Sum: 3 + 9 = 12
The roots of the quadratic equation then are 3 and 9. This implies that the
width of the table is 3ft and its length is 9ft.
Another method of finding the roots is to use the equation
2 b c −b
x + x+ =0. Let =12
a a a
Then substitute these values in the equation.
2 b c
x + x+ =0
a a
x 2+(-12)x +27=0
x 2 -12x +27=0
Solve the resulting equation using any of the methods of solving quadratic
equation. Try factoring.
x 2 -12x +27=0
(x-3) (x-9)=0
X-3=0 x–9=0
X – 3+3=0+3 or x - 9+9 = 0+9
X=3 x=9
With the obtained roots of the quadratic equation, the dimension of the table
then are 3ft and 9ft, respectively.
Example 2: An amusement park wants to place a new rectangular billboard to
inform visitors of their new attractions. Suppose the length of the billboard to be
placed is 4m longer than its width and the area is 96m 2 . What will be the length
and the width of the billboard?
Solution:
If we represent the width, in meters, of the billboard by x, then its length is x +
4. Since the area of the billboard is 96m2 , then xx  4  96
The equation is a quadratic equation that can be written in the form ax2  bx  c 0
xx  4  96

x2  4x = 96

x2  4x – 96 = 0

6
 Solve the resulting equation.
x2  4x – 96 = 0

 x -8 x +12 = 0

X–8=0 x +12=0

x-8+8 = 0+8 x+12-12=0-12

x=8 x=-12

The equation x2  4x – 96 = 0has two solutions: x = 8 or x = -12.

However, we only consider the positive value of x since the situation involves
measure of length. Hence, the width of the billboard is 8m and its length is 12m.
Lesson 4.2 Solving problems involving Rational Algebraic Equation
Word Problems Involving Rational Equations
Example 1: Seven divided by the sum of a number and two is equal to half
the difference of the number and three. Find all such numbers.
Let's begin by defining our variable. Let x = the number
Now we can set up our equation.

*Seven divided by the sum of a number and two
x+2
x−3
is equal to half the difference of the number and three =
2
7 x−3
Therefore, the Equation is =
x+2 2
Before we solve, take note that there's a variable in the denominator which
means we will have a restricted value. So, x≠−2 because that would make the
denominator zero which would make the expression undefined. Now we can
cross multiply and solve!

 Finally, we state our answer. The numbers are 5 and −4.
Example 2.
One type of problem is when one person can work at a certain rate, and
another person can work at a different rate, and you have to calculate how long it
would take if these two people worked together.
The first problem is:
 Sandra can paint a kitchen in 6 hours and Roger can paint the same
kitchen in 7 hours. How long would it take for both working together
to point the kitchen?
We start by setting up some rates per hour.
It says that Sandra can paint 1 kitchen in 6 hours, or:16 kitchen/hour
Roger can paint 1 kitchen in 7 hours, or:17 kitchen/hour
Finally, let's let t be the time it takes when they work together. So they can paint 1
kitchen in t hours, or:1t kitchen/hour
If they work together, this is the same as their rates being added, so we get the
1 1 1
equation: + =
6 7 t
Solving for t:

1 1 1
+ =
6 7 t

So, it takes approximately 3.23 hours for them to paint the kitchen together.
