MODULE NO.

1:
QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
AND INEQUALITIES
Was there any point in your life when you
asked yourself about the different
real life quantities such as costs of goods or
services, incomes, profits, yields and
losses, amount of particular things, speed,
area, and many others? Have you ever
realized that these quantities can be
mathematically represented to come up
with
practical decisions?
LEARNING GOALS AND TARGETS:
After going through this module, you
should be able to demonstrate
understanding of key concepts of
quadratic equations, quadratic
inequalities, and rational algebraic
equations, formulate real-life problems
involving these concepts, and solve these
using a variety of strategies. Furthermore,
you should be able to investigate
mathematical relationships in various
situations involving quadratic equations
and quadratic inequalities.
LESSON NO. 1: ILLUSTRATIONS OF
QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

What to KNOW
Start Lesson 1 of this module by
assessing your knowledge of the
different mathematics concepts
previously studied and your skills in
performing mathematical operations.
These knowledge and skills will help
you in understanding quadratic
equations. As you go through this
lesson, think of this important question:
“How are quadratic equations used in
solving real-life problems and in
making decisions?”
Activity 1: Do You Remember These Products?
Directions: Find each indicated product then
answer the questions that follow.
How did you find each product?
b. In finding each product, what
mathematics concepts or
principles did you apply?
Explain how you applied these
mathematics concepts or
principles.
c. How would you describe the
products obtained?
d.Are the products polynomials? If
YES, what common characteristics
do these polynomials have?
Were you able to find and describe
the products of some polynomials?
Were you able to recall and apply the
different mathematics concepts or
principles in finding each product?
Why do you think there is a need to
perform such mathematical tasks?
You will find this out as you go through
this lesson.
