 What’s New

In learning this module, you will need your skills in adding and subtracting rational
algebraic expressions. Because of that, let’s recall these first.

Example: Find the sum of and .

x

Step 1: Write the expression

x x

Step 2: Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of the rational algebraic
expressions, and x.

2x = 2 · x
6x = 2 · 3 · x
2 · 3 · x = 6x

Therefore, the LCD is 6x.

Step 2: Rewrite the expression using LCD, 6x.

or
x x x x x x

 Solving Quadratic Equations That Are Not Written in Standard Form

Standard Form of Quadratic Equation: ax2 + bx + c = 0, where x is the variable and a, b and
c are constants (a ≠ 0)

Example 1: Solve

This quadratic equation is not written in standard form.

To write the quadratic equation in standard form:
 write the given equation = 36
 simplify the left side of the equation x2 - 5x = 36
 transform to standard form of quadratic equation

Use any of the four methods in finding the solutions of the quadratic equation

Try factoring in finding the roots of the equation.

 factor the left side of the equation
 equate each factor to zero or
 solve each resulting equation or

Check whether the obtained values of x make the equation true. If the
obtained values of x make the equation true, then the solutions of the
equation are: or .

Example 2: Find the roots of the equation

The given equation is a quadratic equation but it is not written in standard form.
Transform this equation to standard form, then solve it using any of the methods of
solving quadratic equations.
 write the given equation
 simplify the square of a binomial
 combine like terms
 transform to standard form of quadratic equation

 factor the left side of the equation

 equate each factor to zero or
 solve each resulting equation or
The solutions of the equation are or . These values of make the equation
true.

Solving Rational Algebraic Equations which can be transformed to Quadratic

Equations

Example 3: Solve the rational algebraic equation

The given rational algebraic equation can be transformed into a quadratic equation.
To solve the equation, the following procedure can be followed.
 write the given equation

 multiply both sides of the equation by the Least Common Denominator (LCD) 4x.

( )

  distribute 4x on the left side of the equation

 reduce the left side of the equation to its simplest form

 write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form

Find the roots of the resulting equation using any of the methods of solving quadratic
equations. Try factoring in finding the roots of the equation.

 equate each factor to zero or

 solve each resulting equation or

Check whether the obtained values of x make the equation true.

If the obtained values of x make the equation true, then the solutions of the equation
are: or .

Extraneous Solution of Rational Quadratic Equations

Example 4: Solve =
The given rational algebraic equation can be transformed into a quadratic equation.
To solve the equation, the following procedure can be followed.

 write the given equation =

 multiply both sides of the equation by

 simplify both sides of the equation to its simplest form

 write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form

 factor the left side of the equation

 equate each factor to zero 3x = 0, x - 4 = 0

 solve each resulting equation x =0 , x = 4

Check whether the obtained values of x make the equation = true. x = 4 is

the solution but x =0 is not a correct solution, thus 0 is an extraneous solution. Value of
x variable that does not make the original equation true.
