What’s In

Can you still recall how to multiply polynomials? Let us go over the following examples.

Example:

1. Multiply a) 5 (2𝑥 + 1) b) 2𝑥(𝑥 − 1)

*To multiply a binomial by a monomial, use the distributive property.

Solution: a) 5 (2𝑥 + 1) = 10𝑥 + 5

b) 2𝑥(𝑥 − 1) = 2𝑥 2 − 2𝑥

2. Give the product of (𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 − 4).

* To multiply a binomial by a binomial, also use the distributive property or the FOIL
Method.
Step 1 Multiply the first terms (F)

(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 − 4) = 𝑥 2
Step 2 Multiply the outer terms (O)

(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 − 4) = 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥
Step 3 Multiply the inner terms (I)
(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 − 4) = 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 3𝑥

Step 4 Multiply the last terms (L)

(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 − 4) = 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 3𝑥 − 12

Step 5 Combine similar terms

(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 − 4) = 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 3𝑥 − 12
= 𝑥 2 − 𝑥 − 12
Therefore, the product of (𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 − 4) is 𝑥 2 − 𝑥 − 12.

Follow-up Question:
Describe the equations that are not linear. What are the common characteristics do
they have?

_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________

What is It

A quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical sentence of degree 2 which

is written in standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0. It
is also called a second-degree equation since the highest exponent of the variable is 2.
In the equation, ax2 is called the quadratic term, bx is the linear term and c is the
constant term.

Examples:

1) x2 + 2x + 4 = 0 is a quadratic equation in standard form with a = 1, b = 2 and

c = 4.
2) x2 + 2x = 0 is a quadratic equation in standard form with a=1, b=2 and c=0.

3) 2x2 = 8 is a quadratic equation, but not in standard form. To write the equation in
standard form, simply apply addition property, that is, add both sides of the
equation with -8 to make the right side of the equation equal to 0.
2x2 + (-8) = 8 + (-8),
2x2 - 8 = 0,
therefore, a = 2, b = 0, and c = -8.

4) 2x(x - 3) = 15 is a quadratic equation, but it is not written in standard form. To write

the equation in standard form, apply distributive property of multiplication over
subtraction and addition property of equality.
2x (x - 3) = 15
2x2 - 6x = 15
2x2 - 6x – 15 = 0 , so a=2, b= -6, and c = -15.

4) (x + 2) (x + 3) =0 is a quadratic equation but is not in standard form. To write the

equation in standard form, use the FOIL method.
(x + 2) (x + 3) =0
x2 + 2x + 3x + 6 = 0
x2 + 5x + 6 = 0, therefore, a = 1, b= 5 and c = 6.

2. The standard form of a quadratic equation in the variable x is of the form
ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

Activity 3: Learn to Solve Quadratic Equations

Use the quadratic equations below to answer the questions that follow. Write your answers
in your notebook.

𝑥 2 = 49 𝑡 2 − 81 = 0 2𝑠 2 − 68 = 0
1. Describe and compare the following equations.
2. Solve each equation in as many ways as you can. Find the values of each variable to
make each equation true.
3. How did you know that the values of the variable really satisfy the equation?

What is It
Recall that a second-degree equation in one variable is an equation that can be
expressed in the form

ax2 + bx + c = 0

where a, b, and c are real numbers, and a ≠ 0. This form of the quadratic equation is said to
be in standard form since all the nonzero terms are on the left side of the equation and they
were arranged in descending powers of the variable.

There are two classifications of quadratic equations in two variables according to the
value of b in standard form

If b ≠ 0, the equation is a complete quadratic equation.

Example: x2 + 3x + 2 = 0
2x2 + 5x + 6 = 0

If b = 0, the equation is an incomplete quadratic equation.

Example: x2 - 4 = 0
x2 – 36 = 0
Note that incomplete quadratic equation can be written in the form ax2 = k, where a is
the numerical coefficient of the quadratic term and k is the constant.

Quadratic equations that can be written of the form x2 = k, can be solved by applying
the following properties:

1. If k > 0, then x2 = k has two real solutions or roots; x = ±√𝑘,

2. If k = 0, then x2 = k has one real solution or root; x = 0,

3. If k < 0, the x2 = k has no real solutions or roots.

Page | 11
 When extracting the square roots, there are always two principal roots, the positive and
the negative.
Steps in Solving Quadratic Equations by Extracting Square Roots
1. Rewrite the quadratic equation in x2 = k if necessary.
2. Use the Addition /Subtraction Property of Equality to isolate the constant on
the right side of the equation.
3. Apply the Square Root Property.

Square Root Property

For any real number k, if 𝑥 2 = 𝑘, then 𝑥 = ±√𝑘

3. Solve the resulting equation.

4. Check your answer by substituting the obtained value with the variable in
the original equation.
Examples:

1. x 2 − 9 = 0

Step 1 𝑥2 − 9 = 0
Step 2 𝑥2 − 9 + 9 = 0 + 9
Step 3 𝑥2 = 9
𝑥 = ±√9
𝑥 = ±3
Step 4 at 𝑥 = 3 at 𝑥 = −3
2
3 −9 = 0 −32 − 9 = 0
9−9 =0 9−9=0
0=0 0=0
The roots are ±3.
Since k > 0, therefore, it has 2 roots.

2. s 2 + 1 = 1
Step 1 s 2 + 1 − 1=0
s2 = 0
Step 2 s2 = 0
Step 3 𝑠2 = 0
𝑠 = ±√0
𝑠=0
Step 4 at 𝑠 = 0
02 + 1 = 1
1=1
The only root is 0.
Since k = 0, therefore, it has only 1 root.

Page | 12
 3. 𝑑 2 + 16 = 0
Step 1 𝑑 2 + 16 = 0
Step 2 𝑑 2 + 16 − 16 = 0 − 16
Step 3 𝑑 2 = −16
𝑑 = √−16
Step 4 There are no square roots of negative
numbers.
Since k < 0, therefore, the roots are
imaginary.

5. 4h2 – 3 = 2h2 + 15______ 10. 2(u + 5)2 = 242______

What I Have Learned

1. A complete quadratic equation in one variable is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0,

where a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0. If b = 0, the quadratic equation is incomplete.
2. The solutions of incomplete quadratic equation can be solved using the square
root property.

SOLUTIONS OF QUADRATIC
3 EQUATIONS BY FACTORING

What’s In
Another method in finding the solutions of a quadratic equation is by factoring. If the
left side of a complete quadratic equation is in standard form and can be factored into two
linear factors, the roots or solutions of the quadratic equation can be obtained quickly and
easily. But before we will go further, let us try to answer the following activities.

Activity 1: What Made Me?

Activity 2: “Set Me to Zero”

1. Compare the three equations.

___________________________________________________________________

2. What are the values of x that will satisfy the given equations?

Equation 1: __________

Equation 2: __________

Equation 3: __________

3. How would you know if the value of x obtained is the solution/s of the given equations?

___________________________________________________________________

4. Are the solutions of x + 7 =0 and x – 4 = 0 the same as the solutions of

(x+7)(x-4)=0?

______________________________________________________________

What is It

Recall that the test for factorability of a trinomial of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 states
that if the discriminant D= b2 – 4ac is a perfect square, then the trinomial is factorable.

For instance, the trinomial x2 + 3x + 2 = 0, where a=1, b=3 and c=2 is factorable since
D=b2 – 4ac
= 32 – 4(1)(2)
=9–8
=1

The principle involved in solving quadratic equations by factoring rests on the following
property of real numbers.

Page | 16
 Zero Factor Property
The product AB=0, if A=0 or B=0 or both A and B are equal to zero.

Some quadratic equations can be solved using factoring.

Steps in Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

1. Rewrite the quadratic equation into standard form if necessary.
2. Check the given equation if factorable using the discriminant.
3. Factor the left side of the quadratic equation.
4. Equate all the factors to 0.
5. Solve each resulting equation.
6. Check your answer by substituting the values obtained to the variable in
the original equation.
Examples:
a. Find the solutions of x 2 + 5x = −6.
Step 1 𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 + 6 = 0
Step 2 𝐷 = 𝑏 2 − 4𝑎𝑐
𝐷 = 52 − 4(1)(6)
𝐷 = 25 − 24
𝐷 = 1 𝑓actorable
Step 3 (𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 + 2) = 0
Step 4 𝑥+3= 0 𝑥+2 =0
Step 5 𝑥+3= 0 𝑥+2 =0
𝑥 = −3 𝑥 = −2
Step 6 at 𝑥 = −3 at 𝑥 = −2
2
−3 + 5(−3) + 6 = 0 −22 + 5(−2) + 6 = 0
9 − 15 + 6 = 0 4 − 10 + 6 = 0
−6 + 6 = 0 −6 + 6 = 0
2
The solutions of the equation x + 5x = −6 are -3 and -2.

b. Solve 5b2 – 15b = 0.

Step 1 The equation is written in standard form.

Step 2 𝐷 = 𝑏 2 − 4𝑎𝑐
𝐷 = 152 − 4(5)(0)
𝐷 = 225 − 0
𝐷 = 225 𝑓actorable
Step 3 5𝑏(𝑏 − 3) = 0
Step 4 5𝑏 = 0 𝑏−3 =0
Step 5 5𝑏 = 0 𝑏−3 =0
𝑏=0 𝑏=3
Step 6 at 𝑏 = 0 at 𝑏 = 3
[5(0)][(0 − 3)] = 0 [5(3)][(3 − 3)] = 0
0(−3) = 0 15(0) = 0
0=0 0=0
The solutions of the equation 5b2 – 15b = 0 are 0 and 3.
