Topic: Solving Quadratic Equations

A. Background Information for Learners

A.1 SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATION BY COMPLETING THE SQUARE

Not all quadratic equations can be solved by factoring or by extracting the square
roots. A method known as Completing the Square must be applied by this method a
perfect square trinomial is produced. To make an expression of the form x 2+ bx a

( )

1
Perfect Square Trinomial (PST), add b to it.

Example:
1. Given. (We can easily produce the PST for a=1) Refer to the first
x 2−2 x−8=0 module in identifying the value of a,b and c
Making the left side free from the constant term (Use the addition

2
property by adding positive 8 to both sides of the equation or
x −2 x=8
“transpose” −8 to the right side of the equation. Note: Once you
“transpose” the constant, do not forget to change the sign.)

( )

1
Making the left side a PST (use the formula b so, identify first
2
the value of your b so that we can substitute it to the given

2
formula. So, if you have x 2−2 x=8 your a=1 , b=−2 . Now,
x −2 x+1=8+1
substitute it to the given formula we have

b = (−2 ) = =(−1 ) =1 , that’s the reason why we add
2 2 2
positive 1 to the left side and right side of the equation.
( x−1 )2=9 Factoring the PST and simplifying the right side.
Applying the Square Root Property (Squared both side of the
√ ( x−1 ) =√ 9
2

equation.)
x−1=±3 Extracting the square root of both sides(Refer to the first module)
Solving for x . (Only the variable x will remain on the left side of
the equation. “Transpose” the constant to the right side of the
x=1 ±3
equation.So, you can get the value of x if x is equal to 1+3 and
1−3 )
 x=1+3 x=1−3
x=4 or x=−2
∴ the solutions ¿ the equation are 4∧−2
Checking:

2. 4 x2 −5 x −6=0 Given. (This is a case where a ≠ 1.)
2 Isolating the constant term on the right side of the equation.
4 x −5 x =6
(“transpose” −6 to the right side)
Factoring out 4 from the binomial. (If you’re going to

=6 distribute the constant 4 to x − x it will result to
4

4 x2 −5 x . )

Dividing both sides by 4 and simplify. (In order to eliminate

5 3 the constant term on the left side of the equation, we are
2
x − x= going to divide it by 4 . So, whatever the constant term
4 2
factored from the binomial is the same number that you’re
going to divide on both sides of equation.)
Making the left side a PST and apply the Addition Property of
Equality. ( Substitute the value of your b to the given formula

A.2 SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATION BY THE QUADRATIC FORMULA

Often, the method of completing the square is tedious especially when the values
of a , b and c are large quantities.
The solution to a x 2 +bx+ c=0 is given by the quadratic formula
−b ± √ b −4 ac
2
x= where a ≠ 0

Example:
2
x + 9 x+14=0
a=1 , b=9 ,c=14
−b ± √ b2−4 ac
x=
2a
−9 ± √ 9 −4 (1)(14)
