C. EXPLORE
DERIVING THE FORMULA
Angelo is told that the length of a rectangular slab of foam insulation is 1 meter more
than four times its width. Its area is 27.5 sq meters.
He is asked to find its length and width.

Angelo writes this:

Area=lenght x width
27.5=( 4 x +1 ) ( x )
2
27.5=4 x + x Rewrite in standard form
2
4 x −x+27.5=0 Multiply the equation by 2.
8 x 2+ 2 x−55=0

Now, he needs to solve the quadratic equation 8 x 2+ 2 x−55=0.

But he finds the completing the square methods messy and tedious to do. How can he
solve the quadratic equation in a more efficient way?
D. EXPLAIN
Angelo can solve the equation using the Quadratic Formula.
The Quadratic Formula is a general formula in solving the quadratic equation
2
ax +bx +c=0 wherea ≠ 0. We will use the completing the square method to derive the
formula.
ax 2 +bx +c=0

ax +bx=−c Rearrange the terms

ax bx −c

E. ELABORATE (Think -Pair-Share)

What happens if b 2−4 ac give a negative answer? That would mean that the
quadratic equation has no real solution. Can you explain why?
If b 2−4 ac< 0, the quadratic equation ax 2 +bx +c=0 , a ≠ 0 has no real solution.
If b 2−4 ac ≥ 0, the real solutions(s) of this equation is (are) given the quadratic
formula.

The solution to Angelo’s problems in the Explore activity is shown as Example 1.

Example 1 Solve 8 x 2+ 2 x−55=0
In the equation,
a=8 (the coefficient of x 2)
b=2 (the coefficient of x); and
c=−55 (the constant term).

−b ± √ b −4 ac

Since length cannot be negative, we say that the width of the rectangular slab is 2.5 m and its
length is 11 m since 4 ( 2.5 ) +1=11

Check: Area=length x width

27.5=11× 2.5
27.5=27.5
Note that we used the condition in the original problem for checking.
