Introductory Message

Welcome to Mathematics Grade 9!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Roxas City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The Mathematics 9 Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-
learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)
with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be
made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.

For the learner:

The Mathematics 9 Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even
if you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and
engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read
and understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

Solving Quadratic Equation Using the Quadratic

Formula

I. Learning Competency with Code

 Solves quadratic equations by using the quadratic formula. 9AL-Ia-b-1

II. Background Information for Learners

Though the method of completing the squares can be applied to almost all
forms of quadratic equations, problem arises if the values of a, b, or c are large
numbers. In this case using Quadratic Formula is recommended.
−b ± √b 2−4 ac
The quadratic formula is given by x = . It is used to solve
2a
quadratic equations in the form ax 2 + bx + c = 0 by identifying the values of a, b, and
c, and substituting these values in the formula.
To solve the quadratic equations by quadratic formula, the following steps
must be followed.

Steps in Solving Quadratic Equations by Quadratic Formula

1. Write the equation in standard form.
2. Determine the values of a, b, and c.
3. Substitute the values of a, b and c in the quadratic formula.
4. Solve for x.
5. Check the solutions obtained.

Example 1: Find the solutions of the equation 2 x2 +7 x=−6 using the quadratic
formula.

Step 1: Write the equation in standard form.

2 x2 +7 x=−6 → 2 x2 +7 x +6=0
Step 2: Determine the values of a, b and c.
2 x2 +7 x +6=0 → a=2 ; b=7 ; c=6

Example 2: Find the roots of the equation 9 x 2−6 x=−1 using the quadratic
formula.
Step 1: Write the equation in standard form.
9 x 2−6 x=−1 → 9 x 2−6 x +1=0
Step 2: Determine the values of a, b and c.
9 x 2−6 x +1=0 → a=9 ; b=−6 ; c=1
Step 3: Substitute the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic formula.
