MATHEMATICS 9: ILLUSTRATING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPTS
In this learning activity sheet, you are going to understand quadratic equations.

Quadratic equations in one variable is a mathematical sentence of degree 2 which has the
highest exponent of 2 and can be written in standard form ax 2+bx+c=0, where a, b and c are
real numbers and a≠0. In the equation ax 2 is the quadratic term, bx is the linear term and c
is the constant term.

Example: x 2+ 8 x+16=0 is a quadratic equation because the highest exponent is

2. It is also written in standard form because the value
of a, b and c can be found at the left side of the equal
sign or it is equated to zero.

 How to transform quadratic equation to standard form?

3 x 2−6 x=10
1. Identify the value of a, b and c. a= 3, b= -6, c= 10
2. Use the equation ax 2+bx -c=0, ax 2+bx -c=0, substitute 3 in a,
substitute the values identified in step 1. -6 in b and 10 in c
(3) x 2+ (-6)x – (10) = 0,

3 x 2 - 6x – 10 = standard form

Quadratic equations in Real Step

Example:

The length of a swimming pool in Virac Resort is 8m longer than its width and the area is 105 m 2.

Based from the situation:

Width is represented by x m(meter)

Length is x m + 8 m
Area is 105m 2

 The equation in the given situation is x(x+8)= 105, since the AREA of rectangle is length x width.
The resulting equation is x 2+ 8 x=105 and this is an example of quadratic equation since the
highest exponent is 2.

II. LEARNING SKILLS FROM THE MELCS

 Illustrates quadratic equation

III. ACTIVITIES
A. Tell whether the equation is quadratic or not. Use separate sheet of paper.
1. 3 x 3+ 4 x−5=0
2. 5 x 2+3 x +2=0
3. 2 x 4 +5 x−3=0
4. 6 x 5+ 4 x +1=0
5. 3 x 2+ x + 4=0

B. Write the following equation in standard form. Use separate sheet of paper.
1. 3 x 3+ 4 x−5=0
2. 3 x 3+ 4 x−5=0
3. 3 x 3+ 4 x−5=0

C. Give at least one situation that uses quadratic equation. (2 points) Use separate sheet of paper.

IV. REFLECTION
Is quadratic equation necessary in our daily life? How? Use separate sheet of paper.
