D. Short Discussion
Good day my dear student’s! We are now on the first week of the school year 2021-
2022. But before you start reading your module and answering your learning activity sheets, let’s pray
first to our Almighty Father for the blessings that we received day by day and asking for forgiveness
for all the wrong things we’ve committed.
Our topic for this week talks about quadratic equations wherein you were able to
encounter this one on your 8th grade. Thus, for this week we will be dealing on how to solve the
unknown variable of the quadratic equation through the different methods and techniques to be used.

A.1 Quadratic Equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree. A quadratic equation in one
variable is an equation of the form a x 2 +bx+ c=0 , where a, b, c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

Examples: Non-examples:

1. x 2−2 x=0 1.) x +2 x=0

2. 3 x 2−5=0 2.) 3(x + y + z )=0

3
3. 2 x2 −5 x +1=¿ 3.) =x
4
If b ≠ 0, the equation is a complete quadratic equation. Examples of a complete quadratic equations
are 2 x2 +3 x−2=0 and x 2−5 x+ 4=0 .
If b=0, the equation is a pure or incomplete quadratic equation. Examples of an incomplete
equations are 2 x2 −8=0 and x 2+ 1=0
A.2
Extracting Square Roots
Equations such as x 2=9 , x 2=16 , and x 2=25 are in the simplest forms of quadratic equations. It
can be solved by extracting square roots of both sides.
Examples:
Solve for x.
1. x2 =64
√ x 2=√ 64 Find the square root of 64
x=± 8
Therefore the answer is x=8∨x=−8
2
2. 3 x −27=0 Given
2
3 x −27+27=0+27 Addition property of equality (Add 27 to both sides)

( 13 ) 3 x =27( 13 )
2
Multiplication Property of Equality

x 2=9
√ x 2=√ 9 Squared both sides
x=± 3

A.3
Factoring - if the equation can be reduced into the form x 2+ bx+ c=0 ; where a x 2 +bx+ c is factorable.
Recall that the test for factorability of a trinomial of the form a x 2 +bx+ c states that if the discriminant
2
D=b −4 ac is a perfect square, then the trinomial is factorable.

Ex.
6 x + x+ 8=0 , where a=6 , b=1, c=8, is not factorable since
2

D=b2−4 ac
2
¿ ( 1 ) −4 ( 6 ) ( 8 )
¿ 1−192
¿ 191 not a perfect square (not factorable)

2
x −6 x +8=0, where a=1, b=−6 , c=8, is factorable since
2
D=b −4 ac
¿ (−6 )2 −4 (1)( 8)
¿ 36−32
¿4 a perfect square (factorable)

Zero Factor Property

The product AB=0 , if A=0 or B=0 or both A and B are equal to zero.

Examples:
2
A. x −6 x +8=0
( x−4 ) ( x−2 )=0

x−4=0, x−2=0
x=4 x=2
 Checking:

if x=4 If x=2

x 2−6 x +8=0 x 2−6 x +8=0

( 4 )2−6 ( 4 ) +8=0 2
(2) −6 ( 2 ) +8=0
16−24+8=0 4−12+ 8=0
0=0 true 0=0 true

C. Objectives/ Learning Targets
At the end of the activity, the leaners must be able to:
 Find the third term of a pure/incomplete quadratic equation
 Solve quadratic equation by completing the square;
 Solve quadratic equation by using the quadratic formula.
D. Short Discussion
Good day my dear students! We are now on the third(3 rd) and fourth(4th ) way of solving
our quadratic equations, We will be discussing first by the use of completing the square to be
followed by using the quadratic formula.
In order to solve the quadratic equation by completing the square, we are going to add

( )
2
1
the constant term on the left and right side of the equation. How? By following the formula b
2
that will be added the both side of the equation.
If we are dealing with large quantities of the quadratic equation, we are going to use the
quadratic formula which will be introduced later in this module.

A.1 SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATION BY COMPLETING THE SQUARE

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 2
( )
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

( ) [ ] ( )
2
1 2 1 −2 2
b = (−2 ) = =(−1 )2=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:

16−16=0 8−8=0
0=0 True 0=0 True

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

( 4 x 2−
5x
4 ) =6 2 5
constant 4 to x − x it will result to 4 x2 −5 x . )
4

Dividing both sides by 4 and simplify. (In order to eliminate the constant
5 3 term on the left side of the equation, we are going to divide it by 4 . So,
x 2− x=
4 2 whatever the constant term 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 ± √ b2−4 ac
x= where a ≠ 0

Example:
2
x + 9 x+14=0

−b ± √ b −4 ac
