QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
Find each indicated product.

1. 3 (x2 + 7)
2. 2s (s – 4)
3. (w + 7) (w + 3)
4. (x + 9) (x – 2)
5. (2t – 1) (t + 5)
Activity 2: Another Kind of Equation!
Below are different equations. Use these equations to
answer the questions that follow.

a. x2 – 5x + 3 = 0
b. 9r2 – 25 = 0
c. c = 12n – 5
d. 9 – 4x = 15
e. 2s + 3t = –7
f. 6p – q = 10
A quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical
sentence of degree 2 that can be written in the following
standard form, ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real
numbers and a ≠ 0

In the equation, ax2 is the quadratic term, bx is the linear

term, and c is the constant term.

Example 1:

2x2 + 5x – 3 = 0 is a quadratic equation in

standard form with a = 2, b = 5, and c = -3.
Example 2: 3x(x – 2) = 10 is a quadratic equation.
However, it is not written in standard form. To write the
equation in standard form, expand the product and make one
side of the equation zero as shown below.

3x(x – 2) = 10 → 3x2 – 6x = 10
3x2 – 6x – 10 = 10 – 10
3x2 – 6x – 10 = 0
 
The equation becomes 3x2 – 6x – 10 = 0, which is in standard
form. In the equation 3x2 – 6x – 10 = 0,
a = 3, b = -6, and c = -10.
Example 3.
(x + 7)(x – 7) = –3x

Use FOIL method:

x2-7x+7x-49=-3x
x2-49=-3x
x2+3x-49=0

a= 1
b= 3
C= -49
ACTIVITY

Quadratic or Not Quadratic?

 
Identify which of the following equations are quadratic and
which are not. If the equation is not quadratic, explain.
 
1. 3m + 8 = 15 6. 25 – r2 = 4r
2. x2 – 5x + 10 = 0 7. 3x(x – 2) = –7
3. 12 – 4x = 0 8. 1/2 (h – 6) = 0
4. 2t2 – 7t = 12 9. (x + 2)2 = 0
5. 6 – 2x + 3x2 = 0 10. (w – 8)(w + 5)=14
