A quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical sentence of degree 2 that can be written in
the following 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 – 6x – 15 = 0 is a quadratic equation in standard form with a =2 b = -6 and c =-15.
Example 2
2x (x – 4) = 18 is a quadratic equation. However, it is not written in standard form. To write the
equation in standard form, expand the product and make one side of the equation zero as shown
below.
2x(x – 4)= 18→ 2x2– 8x = 18
2x2 – 8x – 18 = 18 -18
2x2 – 8x – 18 = 0
The equation becomes
2x2 – 8x –18 = 0 which is in standard form.
In the equation
2x2 - 8x -18 = 0
a = 2, b = - 8, c = - 18.
Write each equation in standard form then identify the values of a, b, and c.

a. 2x + 5x – 3 = 0

b. 3 -2x = 7
c. x (4x + 6) = 28
d. (3x-7)(5x+2)
New houses are being constructed in CalleSerye. The residents of this new housing project use a
17m long path that cuts diagonally across a vacant rectangular lot. Before the diagonal lot was
constructed, they had to walk a total of 23 m long along the two sides if they want to go from one
corner to an opposite corner. Write the quadratic equation that represents the problem if the
shorter side is x. Identify the values of a, b, and c.

A quadratic equation is an equation of degree 2 that can be written in the form ax + bx + c = 0,
where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.
I. Evaluating learning
Write fact if the equation is quadratic and bluff if the equation is not quadratic.
