LESSON 5: EQUATIONS

TRANSFORMABLE TO
QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
OBJECTIVES:
Solves equations transformable to quadratic
equations (including rational algebraic
equation). (M9AL-Ic-d-1
a. Transform quadratic equation into standard
form
b. Find the solutions of equations
transformable to quadratic equations
c. Show cooperation and display interests
when working in groups.

(-x)(x) = ( x – 3)(4) Cross Multiply
-x2 = 4x – 12 Simplify
-x2 – 4x + 12 = 0 Apply APE
x2 + 4x – 12 = 0 Apply MPE
(x + 6)(x – 2) = 0 Factor out
x + 6 = 0, x – 2 = 0 Equate each factor to 0
x1 = -6, x2 = 2 Solve for x
∴ The roots are -6 and 2
