Answer Key:
1. x +2
2. 2 x 2−7 x+5
3. x−1
B. Establishing a purpose for The teacher lets the students realize that factoring is an important skill needed
the lesson to solve for the roots of polynomial equations.
The teacher lets the students, in groups of three, do Activity 1 found on page 82
of the Learner’s Module. They will only answer items 1 to 5 and the guide
questions.
1. x−2=0
2. x +3=0
3. x ( x −4 )=0
C. Presenting examples/
instances of the new 4. (x +1)( x−3)=0
lesson 5. x 2+ x−2=0
Guide Questions:
1. What do you call the given equations?
2. Describe the roots of an equation.
3. In finding the roots of an equation with degree greater than 1, what have you
noticed about the number of roots? Can you recall a principle that supports this?
4. Describe how to solve for the roots of an equation.
5. How many roots does the equation x2 + 2x + 1 = 0 have?
D. Discussing new concepts The teacher discusses with the students the process of arriving at the answer of
and practicing new skills each exercise in Activity 1.
#1 Solution to item 1:
x−2=0
x−2+2=0+2
x=+2
Solution to item 2:
x +3=0
x +3−3=0−3
x=−3
Solution to item 3:
x ( x −4 )=0
x=0
x−4=0
x−4+ 4=0+4
x=+ 4
Solution to item 4:
( x +1 ) ( x−3 )=0
( x +1 )=0 ; ( x−3 )=0
x +1−1=0−1 ; x−3+3=0+3
x=−1 ; x=+3
Solution to item 5:
2
x + x−2=0
( x−2 ) ( x+ 1 )=0
( x−2 ) =0 ; ( x+1 ) =0
x−2+2=0+2 ; x+1−1=0−1
x=+2 ; x=−1
Guide Questions:
1. Polynomial equation
2. Each root satisfies the conditions of the equations.
3. The number of real roots in the equation is less than or equal to the
degree of the equation. A consequence of the Fundamental Theorem of
Algebra states that “Every polynomial equation of degree n has at most
n real roots.”
4. Express each polynomial as a product of linear factors. Then, apply
the Zero Product Property “If A ∙ B = 0, then A = 0 or B = 0. “For
each linear factor, properties of equality can be applied.”
5. Two roots
The teacher lets the students, in groups of three, do Activity 2 found on page 83
of the Learner’s Module. They will only answer items 1 to 3.
The teacher discusses with the students the process of arriving at the answer of
each exercise in Activity 2.
E. Discussing new concepts Solution to item 1 to 3:
and practicing new skills
