Preliminary Activities
 Prayer
Good morning class, everybody please stand Let us put ourselves in the presence
up, let us pray. Please lead the prayer Ms. Cimeni. of God. In the name of the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit, Our Father,
who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will
be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and
forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against
us; and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen!

 Greetings
Again! Good morning Class!  Good morning Ms. Palua!
 Classroom Management
Please pick up the pieces of paper, and  Okay ma’am.
arrange your chairs.
 Checking of Attendance
Secretary in the Classroom, please give me  Yes ma’am! All of the
the attendance of the class. students are present.
Okay! Very Good Class!
 Review of the previous lesson
Everyone, do you remember our topic last  Our topic last meeting is
meeting? Anyone? about Factoring with
common monomial factor.
Okay! You have an idea in factoring.  Yes, ma’am.

1. Activity
Okay! So let us check your assignment last One student is raising her hand: I
time in factoring. volunteer ma’am!
Please answer to the board and explain. Any Student’s answer in the question is x2
volunteer? – 4x – 12 and 12 – 4x – x2 has the
same factors? Is no which is, the
factors of x2 – 4x – 12 are (x – 6)(x +
2), while 12 – 4x – x2 has (2 – x)(6 +
x) as its factors.
Okay! Very good!

2. Analysis
Okay! Everyone! Do you know how to  Yes, Ma’am!
factor, right?

Do you remember how to get the area of  No, ma’am!

polygons? Like area of a square?
Rectangle? Triangle? Etc.

Okay! So, we will discuss it in our topic

 today.
Any questions, so that we can proceed to our
next topic?  No, ma’am!

3. Abstraction
Please listen as I read this.
“In solving problems involving factors of
polynomials, it must be solved algebraically.
It needs time and great patience so that you
will be able to value its contributions to life
such as finding the dimension of an enclosed
field or box, sharing a cost, finding average
speed or average time covered, and solving
mixture or work problems.”

Our topic for today is all about Solving

Problem involving Factors of Polynomials,
please listen carefully and focus. I will give
you an example.

Solve the following word problems and answer the

questions that follow.

1. The length of a rectangular garden is 2x – 3

meters and its with is x - 1 meters. What is the total
area of the rectangular garden?
Solution: Length (l) = 2x – 3;
Width (w) = x – 1
Area of a Rectangle
=lxw
¿ ( 2 x−3 ) ( x −1 )¿ 2 x2 −2 x−3 x +3¿ 2 x2 −5 x +3

The total area of the rectangular garden is

Do you understand the question class?

Okay, first, we have to look at the question, what is  No, ma’am.

being asked here?

Very good!  The total area of the

Next, what are the given here? rectangular garden.
Yes! Very Good!
What is the area of the rectangle?
 Length (l) = 2x – 3; Width
(w) = x – 1
Very Good! And now, we are going to solve since
you already know how to factor and find the area of  Area of a Rectangle
a rectangle. =lxw

Class, remember, if you are going to read a problem.

You have to look first, what is asked, next is the
given in the problem and then the solution. Okay?
Do you get me?
Very good! Please take note!

Okay, next example so that you will really  Yes, ma’am!

understand.

2. The area of square garden is x2 – 14x + 49, find

its dimension.
Solution: Area of a Square = s2
s2 = Area of a Square

s=
 The garden has side of x – 7 meters in order to
have an area of x2 - 14x + 49. Therefore its
dimension is x – 7 meters by x – 7 meters.

So, again, what is being asked here?

Okay, very good!  Area of a square
Next! What are the given?
Okay, what is the area of a square?  x2 – 14x + 49
Okay, very good!  Area of a Square = s2
Next, we have the given, the area of a square and
now we will find the solution!
So we have s2 = Area of a Square

s=
In cancelling the squared in the left side, we have to
put a square root sign in the right side. Do you get
me?  Yes, ma’am.
Okay, next. We have
¿ √ x −14 x+ 49and then factor inside the square
2

root
¿ √(x−7)(x−7) since this is a perfect square, we
can write this one into this
√ 2
¿ ( x−7 ) next, we have to cancel the square root
sign, remember, you can not cancel is the sign inside
not 2. After we cancel, so we have our final answer,
which is:
¿ x−7

So do you understand? Do you get me?

4. Application
 Yes, ma’am.
How special product is applied to real life problems?
Is it important to you as a student? In what
particular way?
 Special product and
factoring techniques are
important tools for solving
real life problems such as
finding the dimension of an
enclosed field or box,
sharing a cost, finding
Very good! average speed or average
time covered, and solving
Any questions? mixture or work problems.

 No, ma’am.

IV. ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION
Answer the problem.(5 minutes)
1. What is the area of a square garden if it has a side of 2x – 5 meters?
Solution:
Area of Square = s^2
=(2x-5)^2
=(2x-5)(2x-5)
=4x^2-20x+25
∴The area of the square garden is 4x^2-20x+25.
V. ASSIGNMENT/AGREEMENT
Answer the following and show your solutions.

1. The area of a rectangular field is x2 +x – 6 meters and its length is x – 2 meters.

How long is its width?
2. What is the area of a square garden if it has a side of 3a + 6 meters? (9a2 + 30x
+25)
3. 2. The area of a rectangular field is x2 +14x + 49 meters and its length is x +7
meters. How long is its width? (x + 7)
