What This Module is About

Real-world problems can be solved with the help of mathematical equations such as
where a rocket ship will land, predicting the maximum height of the fireworks, how much to
charge for a product and a wide variety of applications

This module is about quadratic equations and how they are illustrated in real-life. The
lesson provided you with opportunities to discuss quadratic equations using practical situations
and their mathematical representations. Moreover, you were given the chance to formulate
quadratic equations as illustrated in some real-life situations. Your understanding of this lesson
and other previously learned mathematics concepts and principles will facilitate your learning of
the next lesson, solving quadratic equations.

What Is It

A quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical sentence of degree 2

that can be written in the following standard form.

ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a 0.

In the equation, ax2 is the quadratic term, bx is the linear term, and c is the
constant term.

Why do you think a must not be equal to zero? What happens to the
equation when a is equal to zero?
 The value of a must not be equal to zero because it is the numerical
coefficient of the quadratic term.

Example 1: 3x2 + 7x – 1 = 0 is a quadratic equation in standard form with

a = 3, b = 7, c = -1.

Example 2: 2x(x - 4) = 12 is a quadratic equation. However, it is not written in

standard form. To transform it to its standard form, use distributive
property and make one side of the equation zero as shown below.
2x(x - 4) = 12 2x2 – 8x = 12 , by distributive
property
2x2 – 8x – 12 = 12 – 12 , by subtraction
property
2x2 – 8x – 12 = 0
The standard form of 2x(x - 4) = 12 is 2x 2 – 8x – 12 = 0 where a = 2, b
= -8, and c = -12.

Example 3: (x + 1)(x - 8)= -9 is also a quadratic equation but is not written in

standard form. Just like in Example 2, transform it to its standard form
using distributive property and make one side of the equation zero as
shown below.
(x + 1)(x - 8)= -9 x2 – 7x - 8 = -9 ,by distributive property
x2 – 7x – 8 + 9 = -9 + 9 , by addition property
x2 – 7x + 1 = 0
The standard form of (x + 1)(x - 8)= -9 is x 2 – 7x + 1 = 0 where a = 1, b
= -7, and c = 1.
When b = 0 in the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, it results to a quadratic equation
of the form ax2 + c = 0.
Examples: Equations such as 3x2 – 1 = 0, -5x2 + 3 = 0, and x2 - 1 = 0 are quadratic
equations of the form ax2 + c = 0. In each equation, the value of b = 0.
While, equations such as 4x2 – x = 0, -x2 + 5x = 0, and -2x2 – 5x = 0 are
quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx = 0. In each equation, the value
of c = 0.

Activity 3: Am I Quadratic or Not?

Directions: Determine whether each equation is Quadratic or Not quadratic. Write Q
if it is quadratic and N if it is not quadratic.

1. C = d 6. (s + 1) = 0
2. 2(x + 3) = 0 7. (t + 4)(t+7) = 0
3. x + 3x2 = 0 8. (x – 5)2 – 3 = 0
4. 5x – 4 = 0 9. x2 – 7 = 0
5. -2m2 + m = 1 10. 5(m – 8) + 1 = 0

Process Questions:
a. Were you able to identify which equations are quadratic and not quadratic?
b. What makes the equation not quadratic? Differentiate a quadratic equation
from an equation that is not quadratic.

2
9. (x + 5)(x - 9) = 21
5. 4x2 – 2 = 0 10. x(2x – 4) = (x – 2)(x – 2)

quadratic equation in standard form? Discuss how you applied these
mathematics concepts or principles.
b. Write the steps in transforming a quadratic equation to its standard form.
c. Which quadratic equations did you find difficult to write in standard form?

Activity 5: Discovery Method!

Directions: Consider the situation below and fill in the table.

Staying at home is the best way to keep yourself safe during this COVID-19
pandemic. To keep you and your siblings cool at home during this summer break,
your mother decided to construct a swimming pool in your backyard. She asked you
to make a layout of a rectangular pool whose area is 28m 2. She specified that the
length of the pool must be 3 m more than its width.

Length = 3m more than its width

Width = x
Area = 28m2

Guide Questions Your Answer

1. If x represents the width of the Width = x

rectangular pool, how would you Length = x + 3
represent the length?

A = 28, w = x, l=x+3
2. You know that the formula for the A = lw
area of the rectangle is A = lw. 28 = (x+3)(x)
How would you represent the
area of the rectangular pool?

Solutions:
3. What are the dimensions of the (x+3)(x) = 28
pool? x2 + 3x = 28
x2 + 3x – 28 = 28 - 28
x2 + 3x – 28 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 4) = 0
x+7=0 x–4=0
x+7–7=0–7 x–4+4=0+4
x = -7 x=4

We will just take the positive value of x

since we are looking for a
measurement.

So, x = 4. Thus,
Width = x = 4
Length = x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7.
 Therefore, the dimensions of the
swimming pool are 7m by 4m.

Activity 7: Does It Illustrate Me?

Directions: Tell whether or not each of the following situations illustrates quadratic
equations. Justify your answer by representing each situation by a
mathematical sentence.

1. The square of a number is added to two times the number and the sum is
24.
Answer: Quadratic; x2 + 2x = 24 x2 + 2x – 24 = 0
2. The width of a rectangle card is 2cm less than the length and the area is
35cm2.
Answer: Quadratic; (x)(x – 2) = 35 x2 - 2x – 35 = 0
3. A flowerbed is to be 3m longer than its width. The flowerbed will have an
area of 70m2.
Answer: Quadratic ; (x + 3)(x) = 70 x2 + 3x – 70 =
0
4. Angela is 4 years younger than Genesis. Four years later, Genesis will be
twice as old as Angela.
Answer: Not Quadratic; x + 4 = 2(x) x–4=0
5. A rectangular bahay-kubo with the dimension of 11m more than its width
built in a rectangular backyard. The area of the bahay-kubo is 85m 2.
Answer: Quadratic; (x + 11)(x) = 85 x2 + 11x – 85 = 0

1. How are quadratic equations different from linear equations?

Answer: Quadratic equations are mathematical sentences of degree 2
while linear equations are mathematical sentences of degree 1.

2. How do you write quadratic equations in standard form? Give at least 2

examples and identify the values of a, b, and c.
(Check students’ explanations and examples they will give. Their
answers might be different and all are correct.)

3. The following are the values of a, b, and c that Angela and Genesis got when
they expressed 4 – 7x = x2 in standard form.
Angela: a = -1; b = -7; c = 4
Genesis: a = 1; b = 7; c = -4
Who got the correct values of a, b, and c? Justify your answer.
Answer: Angela and Genesis are both correct. The equation 4 – 7x = x 2
can be written in standard form in two ways, -x 2 – 7x + 4 = 0 or x2 + 7x -
4 = 0.

4. Can the equation -1 + 9x = 4x 2 be written in standard form in two different

ways? What are the two possible answers?
Answer: Yes. -4x2 + 9x – 1 = 0 or 4x2 - 9x + 1 = 0.
