B. Review (Recitation)

Define Quadratic Equation: A quadratic equation is a second-degree polynomial equation written in

standard form as:

2
ax +bx +c=0

where a, b, and c represent real numbers and a ≠ 0.

That will be our lesson for today, on how to find the roots or solutions of a quadratic
equation by factoring and by extracting the roots.

III. Firm-up

A. Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

 Some previously learned concepts are important in solving quadratic equations. One of those
concepts is factoring. Your knowledge in factoring polynomial is an important tool in solving
quadratic equations.

1. The Principle of Zero Property

For any real numbers x and y,

if xy = 0, then x = 0 or y = 0; and
if either x = 0 or y = 0 then xy = 0.

2. Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

To solve quadratic equations by factoring, you must follow these steps:

1. Transform the quadratic equation in standard form.

2. Factor the polynomial side of the equation
3. Use the Zero-Product Property to equate each factor to zero.
4. Solve each resulting linear equation.
5. Check if the obtained roots are accurate by substituting.

3. Example (The Mona Lisa Painting)

Find the roots or solutions of the quadratic equation and dimensions of the Mona Lisa
painting by factoring. Show each step.

4. Practice Exercise

2. b − b−12=0

B. Solving Quadratic Equations by Extracting the Roots (60mins)

1. Explanation

The standard form of a quadratic equation is a x 2 +bx+ c=0 . However, there are
situations where a quadratic equation has a missing term. To solve quadratic equations
with a middle term missing, you must utilize the Square Root Method.

In general, the quadratic equation x 2−k =0, where k > 0 can be solved as:

2
x −k =0
2
x =k
x=± √ k
 The roots or solutions can also be written as x=+ √ k or x=− √ k

Notice that the quadratic equation of the form x 2−k =0 still has two roots. However, it is
noteworthy to mention that in these kinds of quadratic equations, it is possible that the
obtained roots are irrational numbers. There are also situations wherein the obtained roots
are imaginary.

2. Definition of Terms

a. Irrational Numbers

An irrational number is a type of real number which cannot be represented as a

simple fraction.

Examples: √ 2 , π , square root of prime numbers

b. Imaginary Numbers

An imaginary number is a real number multiplied by the imaginary unit i , which is

defined by its property i 2=−1or i=√−1.

Examples: 5 i, i, 2 i

1. Valuing

Be a critical thinker. The lesson teaches us that even how hard a situation or a problem is, don’t
forget that there will always be a solution to it. We just need to first, determine what the problem is.
Then simplify the problem. Identify the factors that causes that problem. Get the possible solutions
for the problem. And lastly, check if the solutions are effective or not.

2. Generalization

Before we end, can anyone sum up what we discussed today?

3. Self-evaluation

a. Were you able to define a quadratic equation?

b. Can you now illustrate quadratic equations?
c. Can you now solve quadratic equations by factoring?
d. Can you now quadratic equations by extracting the roots?

 Dolphins are some of the world’s most loving and intelligent animals.
In a dolphin show, the height h in feet reached by a dolphin t seconds after breaking the
surface water is given by:

h=−16 t 2+32 t
