Activity 1
X2 + 15 = 8x
X2 + 15 – 8x = 8x – 8x
X2 + 15 – 8x = 0
X2 – 8x + 15 = 0
(x - 3)(x - 5) = 0
(x - 5) = 0 or (x – 3) = 0
X – 5 + 5 = 0 + 5 or x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3
x = 5 or x = 3
Activity 2
1. H = height
2. A = base times height or 24 = (h+10)(h)
3. 24 = (h^2 + 10h)
4. 24-24 = h^2+10h-24
0 = h^2 + 10h - 24
5. 0 = (h+12)(h-2)
6. h + 12 = 0 or h - 2 = 0
7. h + 12 - 12 = 0 - 12 ; h - 2 + 2 = 0 + 2
h = -12 ; h = 2

Activity 3
1. (2w – 5) (w – 3) = 55 - w will be the width of original rectangle while; 2w will be the length of
the original rectangle
2. 2w2 – 11w + 15 = 55 - (3x^5)(4x^2)=(3*4)(x^5*x^2)=(12)(x^5+^2)=(12x^7)
3. 2w2 – 11w – 40 = 0 - The first one cannot be factored while the 2nd one can be factored. The
factors are (2w+5) and (w-8)
4. (2w+5) (w-8) = 0 -
5. W=8 or w= -5/2 - W= A÷L
L= A ÷ W
6. Width is 8 meters
Length is 16 meters -
