Background Information for Learners

A. Illustrating Quadratic Equations in the form 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 = 𝟎

A quadratic equation in one variable is a Mathematical sentence in the second degree

power which is written in standard form 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 = 𝟎, where a, b, and c are real
numbers and 𝒂 ≠ 𝟎.

Examples of Quadratic Equation

a) 4𝑥2 − 𝑥 + 5 = 0 → variable x has the highest exponent of 2.

b) 2𝑚(3𝑚 − 1) + 3 = 4𝑚 + 5 → simplify and express in 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 = 𝟎

Distributive Property of Multiplication
6𝑚 − 2𝑚 + 3 − 4𝑚 − 5 = 4𝑚 − 4𝑚 + 5 − 5 →Addition Property of
2

Equality 6𝑚2 − 6𝑚 − 2 = 0 →reduce the equation by 2

3𝑚2 − 3𝑚 − 1 = 0 →variable m has the highest exponent of 2

B. Identifying Quadratic Term, Linear Term and Constant in a

Quadratic Equation

In the quadratic equation, 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 = 𝟎, 𝒂𝒙𝟐 is the quadratic term, 𝒃𝒙 is the linear
term and c is the constant.

Solving Quadratic Equations

Background Information for Learners

A. Solving Quadratic Equations By Extracting The Square Roots

Quadratic equations can be written in the form 𝑥 2 = 𝑘, where k is a real

number. The method of solving the quadratic equation in the form, 𝑥 2 = 𝑘 is called
extracting the square roots.
Example 1. Find the solution of the equation 𝑥2 − 16 = 0 by extracting the square roots.
Note: Quadratic
𝑥2 − 16 = equations
0 are equations with degree 2, therefore there are 2
roots or solutions.
𝑥 2 − 16 + 16 = 16 (Addition Property of Equality)
𝑥2 = 16
√𝑥2 = √16 (Extract the square root on both sides of the equation)
𝑥 = ±√16 (Since 16 is greater than 0, then the first property can be applied)
𝑥 = ±4
Answer: The equation 𝑥2 − 16 = 0 has roots/solutions: x= 4 and x= -4.

Example 2: Find the solutions of the equation (𝑥 − 4)2 − 25

= 0 (𝑥 − 4)2 − 25 = 0
(𝑥 − 4)2 − 25 + 25 = 25 (Addition Property of Equality)
(𝑥 − 4) = 25
2
(Write the equation in the form 𝑥 2 = 𝑘)
𝟐
√ 𝑥 − 4 = ±√25
𝑥 − 4 = ±5
𝑥=5+4 𝑥 = −5 + 4
𝑥=9 𝑥 = −1
Answer: The equation has solutions: 𝒙 = 𝟗 and 𝒙 = −𝟏.
Example 3: Solve for the roots of (𝑥 − 1)2 = 36
(𝑥 − 1)2 = 36
√(𝑥 − 1)2 = √36 (Extract the square root on both sides of the equation)
𝑥 − 1 = ±6

7
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
 𝑥=1+6 𝑥=1−6
𝒙= 𝟕 𝒙 = −𝟓
Answer: The equation has solutions: 𝒙 = 𝟕 and 𝒙 = −𝟓.

Example 4: Find the roots of 𝑥2 = 8

𝑥2 = 8 → √𝑥2 = ±√8 (Extract the square root on both sides of the equation)
𝑥 = ±√4 ∙ 2 (Since 8 is not a perfect square number, get the
factors of 8 which is a perfect square number) Factors of 8: 8∙ 1, 4 ∙ 2, where 4 is
a perfect square number.
𝑥 = ±2√2
Answer: The equation has solutions/roots: 𝒙 = 𝟐√𝟐and 𝒙 = −𝟐√𝟐.

B. Solving Quadratic Equation by Factoring

Some quadratic equations can be solved easily by factoring. To solve quadratic

equations, the following procedures can be followed:
1. Transform the quadratic equation into standard form if necessary,
2. Factor the quadratic expressions,
3. Apply the zero property by setting each factor of the quadratic expression equal to 0.
4. Solve each resulting equation.

Example 1: Common Monomial Factoring

Find the solutions of 𝑥2 + 9𝑥 = 0 by factoring.
𝑥 2 + 9𝑥 = 0 → 𝑥(𝑥 + 9) = 0 (Factor out the common monomial factor x)
𝑥=0 𝑥 + 9 = 0 (Equate each factor to 0)
𝒙= 𝟎 𝒙 = −𝟗

Example 2: Factoring Quadratic Trinomial

a) where 𝒂 = 𝟏
i. Find the roots of 𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 − 24 = 0 by
factoring. Factors of 24 are: 4∙ 6, 3∙ 8, 12∙ 2, 1∙ 24
Since the sign of the last term is negative, this requires you to get the factors whose
difference is 5 (middle term). Therefore, from the given factors above, 3∙ 8 has difference
of 5.
𝑥2 − 5𝑥 − 24 = 0
(𝑥 − 8)(𝑥 + 3) = 0 (Write the equation in factored form)
𝑥 − 8 = 0 𝑥 + 3 = 0 (Equate each factor to 0 and apply Addition Property of Equality)
𝑥−8+8=0+8 𝑥+3−3=0−3
𝒙= 𝟖 𝒙 = −𝟑

ii. FindNote:

factoring. Factors of 24: 1∙ 24, 2∙ 12, 3∙ 8, 4∙ 6

8
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
 Since the sign of the last term is positive, this requires you to get the factors
whose sum is 10 (middle term). Therefore, from the given factors above, 4∙ 6 has
sum of 10.
𝑥2 + 10𝑥 + 24 = 0
(𝑥 + 4)(𝑥 + 6) = 0 (Write the equation in factored form)
𝑥+4=0 𝑥 + 6 = 0 (Equate each factor to 0 and apply Addition Property of Equality)
𝒙 = −𝟒 𝒙 = −𝟔

b) where a≠1
Set in the standard form 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 = 𝟎
i. Solve for the roots of 2x2 + 3x − 2 = 0.
Factor the first and 3rd terms. Write them in to adjacent parentheses then get the
product of the extremes and means.
(2𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 + 2) = 0
Product of the Extremes 2𝑥 ∙ 2 = 4𝑥
Product of the Means (𝑥)(−1) = −𝑥
Since the sign of the last term is negative, get the DIFFERENCE of their
products.

4𝑥 − 𝑥 = +3𝑥 (Middle term)

(3𝑥 − 4)(2𝑥 − 3) = 0
Product of Extremes 3𝑥 ∙ −3 = −9𝑥
Product of Means 2𝑥 ∙ −4 = −17𝑥 (Middle Term)

Equate each factor into zero and solve for x

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Nature of the Roots of Quadratic Equations Using the Discriminant

Background Information for Learners

A. Determining the Discriminant of a Quadratic Equation
In the previous activities, you have learned the different ways on how to solve
quadratic equations. This lesson will teach you on how to determine the discriminant of a
quadratic equation.
The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the radicand in the quadratic formula
which is b2 – 4ac . Express all equations to ax2 + bx + c = 0 if necessary. To determine the
discriminant of a quadratic equation, take the following steps in the given equations below.
Examples:
Determine the discriminant of the following equations:
1. x2 - 8x + 16 = 0
The given quadratic equation is in the general form ax2 + bx + c = 0.
Then, we have a = 1, b = -8 and c = 16. Substitute the values of a, b, and c in the
expression b2 - 4ac.
b2 - 4ac = (-8)2 - 4(1)(16)
= 64 - 64
=0
So, the value of the discriminant = 0
00
2. 2x2 + 5x – 5 = 0 0
The given quadratic equation is in the general form ax2 + bx + c = 0,
where a = 2, b = 5 and c = -5. Substitute the values of a, b, and c in the expression
b2 - 4ac (discriminant).
b2 - 4ac = (5)2 - 4(2)(-5)
= 25 – 4(-10)
2
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
 = 25 + 40
= 65
So, the value of the discriminant = 65 and this is greater than 0.

3. x2 + 9 = 0
In the equation, the values of a,b,c are 1, 0, and 9 respectively. Since b= 0, therefore
the equation is an incomplete. Use these values to evaluate b2 - 4ac.
b2 - 4ac = 02 – 4( 1) (9)
= 0 – 36
= -36
So, the value of the b2 - 4ac is a negative number and this is less than 0

4. -5x – 12 = -2x2
This is a quadratic equation that is not written in standard form. So, transform the
equation in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 . The resulting equation is 2x2 .- 5x -12 = 0.
The value of a, b, c are 2, -5 and -12, respectively. Substitute these values to evaluate
b2 - 4ac.
b2 - 4ac = -52 – 4(2) (-12)
= 25 + 96
= 121
So, the value of the discriminant = 121 and this is greater than 0.

B. Determining The Nature of the Roots of A Quadratic Equation

In the previous activities you have learned how to find the discriminant of a quadratic
equation. This lesson will teach you on how to determine the nature of the roots of a
quadratic equation.
Recall that the roots of a quadratic equation in standard form, ax2 + bx + c = 0, can be
−𝑏±√𝑏 2−4𝑎𝑐
found using the quadratic formula: 𝑥 = where the radicand b2 – 4ac is called the
2𝑎
discriminant of the quadratic equation. This aids us in determining the nature of the roots of
quadratic equation
The following are to be considered in determining the nature of the roots of quadratic
equation:
If : Then the roots are:
b – 4ac = 0
2
two equal real roots
b – 4ac > 0
2
two unequal real roots
b – 4ac < 0
2
two unequal imaginary roots

Examples: Determine the nature of the roots of the following equations using the
discriminant: 1. 5x2 - 10x +5 = 0
This equation is written in standard form. To determine the nature of its roots,
evaluate b2 – 4ac ,
b2 – 4ac = -102 – 4(5)(5)
= 100 – 100

2
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
 =0
Since the value of b2 – 4ac is zero, we can say that there are two equal real roots
2. x2 - 4x = 0
Substitute the values of a,b,c to evaluate b2 – 4ac.
b2 – 4ac = -42 – 4(1) (0)
= 16 – 0
= 16
The obtained value of b2 – 4ac is 16 and this number is greater than 0 , therefore
there are two unequal real roots.

3. x2 = - 2x – 5
Since the equation is not written in standard form. Transform it first into the form
ax2 + bx + c = 0 . Then, substitute the values of a,b, and c in the expression b 2 – 4ac .
x2 = - 2x – 5 To transform this equation, equate it into zero (0)
x + 2x + 5 = 0
2
Substitute the values of a. b, and c in the expression
b2 – 4ac
b2 – 4ac = 22 – 4( 1) ( 5)
= 4 – 20
= -16
The obtained value of the discriminant (b2 – 4ac) is less than 0, the quadratic
equation x2 = - 2x – 5 has no real roots or the roots are two unequal and imaginary roots.

Solving Equations Transformable to Quadratic Equations (Including
Rational Algebraic Equations)

Background Information for Learners

This lesson aims to help you understand the steps on how to solve equation
transformable to quadratic equations which includes rational algebraic equations. From your
previous year level you have learned that quadratic equations are in the form 𝑎𝑥2+bx+c=0. In
this lesson an equation will be given then you will be required to transform it to its standard
form 𝑎𝑥2+bx+c=0 then solve for its values.
Let us have some examples.

Example 1.
x(x+5)=14
(x)(x) +(x)(5) = 14 (Transform into its standard form then solve for the value of x)
𝑥 2+ 5x= 14. (Apply the distributive property for multiplication)
𝑥 2+ 5x-14= 14-14 (Addition Property of Equality)
𝑥2+ 5x -14 =0
(x+7)(x-2)=0 (Use factoring)

Solve for the value of x by addition property. Equate the factors to zero.
x+7=0
x+7=0-7
x= -7
x-2=0
x-2=0+2
x= 2
Therefore x=-7 and x=2

Example 2.
2x(x-2) = 3 (Transform in standard form then solve for the value of x)
(2x)(x) -(2x)(2) = 3 (Apply distributive property for multiplication)
2𝑥2-4x= 3
2𝑥2-4x-3= 3-3 (Using Addition Property of Equality)
2𝑥 2- 4x -3 =0

(Note: You can either use factoring or apply the quadratic formula to solve for x.)

Example 3.

(x)(x)+(x)(1)= (3)(x)+(3)(1) (Apply distributive property for multiplication)
𝑥2+ x= 3x+3
𝑥 2+ x-3x-3= 3x+3 -3x-3 (Use Addition Property of Equality)
𝑥 + x -3x-3 =0
2
(Combine like terms)
𝑥 -2x-3 =0

Solve for the quadratic equation 𝑥2-2x-3 =0 using factoring.

By factoring it will become (x-3)(x+1)=0.

To solve for the value of x, use addition property and equate the factors to zero.
x-3=0
x-3=0+3
x= 3
x+1=0
x+1=0 - 1
x = -1
Therefore x=3 and x=-1

Solving Problems Involving Quadratic Equations and Rational
Algebraic Equations

Background Information for Learners

From the previous topic you had learned about quadratic equations. In this lesson we
will still be applying quadratic equation however there is a need for you to analyze the
problems to come up with the correct representation. In this topic you need to understand
some mathematical expressions in the formulation of the representation.
a. 2 Consecutive even /Odd Numbers :
First number is represented by x
Second number is represented by x+2

b. 2 Consecutive numbers
First number is represented by x
Second number is represented by x+1

c. Pythagorean Theorem = represented by 𝑎 2+ 𝑏 2= 𝑐 2, it is used to solve missing sides of a

right triangle.

d. Areas of polygon
Area
Triangle A= 1 (𝑏ℎ), where b- base, h-height
2
Square A= 𝑠2, where s- side
Rectangle A= 𝑙𝑤, where l-length, w-width

To further explain the topic let us have examples.

Example 1.
The product of two consecutive positive integers is 5 more than three times the larger.
Find the integers.
1st step: Formulate representation
x → first integer
x+1 → second integer
The representation of the product of the two positive integers will be

4
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
x(x+1), then it says three times the larger so it will become 3(x+1) +5

x(x+1)= 3(x+1) +5 (Formulate equation)

x(x)+(x)(1)= 3(x)+(3)(1) +5 (Distributive Property)
𝑥2+x =3x+3+5
𝑥 2+x =3x+8 (Combine like terms)
𝑥2+x-3x -8=3x+8-3x -8 (Addition Property of Equality)
𝑥2-2x -8=0
(x-4)(x+2)=0 (Factor the quadratic equation)
Therefore the values of x are 4 and -2.

Note: Since the problem requires positive integer therefore the value of x is 4

Going back to the representation:

The first integer is x which is equal to 4 then the second integer is (x+1) and 4 +
1=5.Therefore the two positive integers are 4 and 5.

Example 2.
A rectangular building measuring 30m by 25m is going to have its area increased by
200𝑚 by adding a strip of uniform width to all four sides. Determine the width of the strip.
2

For the diagram of this situation, we have a smaller rectangle (the original building)
surrounded by a larger rectangle (the new building).We will let x represent the unknown
width of the strip.
If the dimension of the original building were 30 m by 25 m , then the dimension of the new
building will be 30 +2x by 25 by 2x.
x
25+2x

30+2x

If the area of the original building was 750𝑚2, then the area of the new building will be
950𝑚2. Since the new building is still a rectangle therefore the area is length multiplied by
width,
A=l x w.
950=(30+2x)(25+2x)
950=750 +60x +50x+4𝑥2 (Distributive Property)
0=4𝑥 + 110x -200
2

4𝑥2 + 110x -200=0 (arrange the equation into its standard form)
2𝑥 + 55x -100=0
2
(Reduce by 2)

By applying the quadratic formula,

The width of the strip is 1.7m.

Note: Disregard the -29.2 since the width cannot be negative.

Example 3:
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 3 cm longer that one of the legs, and 6 cm longer that the
other leg, find the length of the three sides of the triangle.

Let x represents the length of the hypotenuse, the longer leg would be x-3, and the shorter leg
would be x-6.

x-6 x

x-3
The relationship between the three sides of a right triangle is described by the Pythagorean
Theorem
𝑎2+ 𝑏2= 𝑐2

𝑥2-6x+9+ 𝑥2-12x+36= 𝑥2
𝑥2-18x+45=0 (Combine like terms)
(x-15)(x-3) =0 (Factor out the quadratic equation)
x = 3 and 15.
Note: Disregard 3 because it will generate leg length of 0 cm and -3 cm.
Therefore the value of longest is 15cm, longer leg is 12 cm and the shorter leg is 9cm.
Example 4:

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
The length of a rectangle is 3 meters more than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle
is 35𝑚2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

2w+3
Representation
w → width
2w+3 → length

Area of a rectangle is A=l x w

Therefore,
35= (2w+3)(w)
35= 2𝑤 2+ 3w (Distributive Property of Multiplication)
35 −2𝑤 - 3w = 2𝑤 + 3w- 2𝑤 - 3w (Addition Property of Equality)
2 2 2

2𝑤2+ 3w-35=0
(w+5)(2w-7)=0 (Factor the Quadratic equation)
(w+5)=0 , w=-5 (Equate the equation to 0)
(2w-7)=0 w=3.5

Note : Disregard negative value because we cannot have a negative length.

Therefore,
w=3.5 → width
2w+3
2(3.5)+3= 7+3=10 m → length
To solve for the other side, apply the area of rectangle.

Checking:
A=l x w
35𝑚2= (10m) (3.5 m)
35𝑚2=35𝑚2

Illustrating Quadratic Inequalities

Background Information for Learners

Quadratic inequality is an inequality that contains a polynomial of degree 2 and can

be written in the forms 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 > 0 (read as 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐greater than 0)
𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 ≥ 0 (read as 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐greater than or equal to 0)
𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 < 0 (read as 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐less than 0)
𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 ≤ 0 (read as 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐less than or equal to 0)

Examples: 1. 𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 2 > 0 is read as 𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 2 is greater than zero

2. 𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 2 ≥ 0 is read as 𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 + 2 is greater than or equal to zero

Remember this in illustrating Quadrating Inequalities:

greater than the solutions go in opposite Unshaded circle (the
> directions on the number number is not included in
line the solutions)
greater than or the solutions go in opposite Closed/Shaded circle (the
≥ equal to directions on the number number is included in the

Solving Quadratic Inequalities in One Variable

Background for Learners

To solve a quadratic inequality in one variable, find the roots of its corresponding
equality, then illustrate in a number line.
Use factoring to solve for the roots in its corresponding equality.

A. Solving Quadratic Inequalities in One Variable

Examples:
1. 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 15 > 0 → use quadratic trinomial factoring
(𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 + 5)
3, 5 → roots
Illustrations

-5 3
Note: The solutio ns go on opposite directions because of > as symbol of inequality.
represent the soluti Arrows ons.
Solutions:
𝒙 > 𝟑and 𝒙 < −𝟓 or −𝟓 > 𝒙 > 𝟑
Che cking:
Let 𝑥 = 4
Substitute 𝑥2 + 2𝑥 − 15 > 0 , Therefore,
(4)2 + 2(4) − 15 > 0
16 + 8 − 15 > 0
24 − 15 > 0
9 > 0 TRUE
Therefore, 4 is a solution.

2. 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 < 0 → by Common Monomial Factoring

𝑥(𝑥 − 6)
0, 6 → roots
Illu stration:
Note: The solutions go toward each
other because of < as symbol of
inequality. 52

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all

 Solutions:
𝑥 > 0, 𝑥 < 6 or 6 > 𝑥 > 0 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Checking:
Let 𝑥 = 2
Substitute 𝑥2 − 6𝑥 < 0
(2)2 − 6(2) < 0
4 − 12 < 0
−8 < 0 TRUE
Therefore, 2 is a solution.

3. 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 − 12 ≥ 0 → by Quadratic Trinomial Factoring

(𝑥 − 6)(𝑥 + 2)
-2, 6 → roots
Illustration:
Note: -2 and 6 are included as
solutions because the circles are
-2 6
Solutions:
𝒙 ≥ 𝟔, 𝒙 ≤ −𝟐 or −𝟐≥ 𝒙 ≥ 𝟔
Checking:
Let 𝑥 = 6
Substitute 𝑥2 − 4𝑥 − 12 ≥ 0
(6)2 − 4(6) − 12 ≥ 0
36 − 24 − 12 ≥ 0
36 − 36 ≥ 0
0 ≥ 0 TRUE
Therefore, 6 is a solution.
B. Quadratic Inequalities in Two Variables
These inequalities can be written in the following forms:
𝑦 > 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, 𝑦 ≥ 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐
𝑦 < 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐,
2
𝑦 ≤ 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐
In this topic, you will determine if a point is a solution of a given quadratic inequality
in two variables.
Example 1. Determine whether or not each given point is a solution of the given
quadratic inequality 𝑦 < 2𝑥2 − 𝑥 + 3
a) Point (-3, 1), x = -3, y = 1
Substitute in 𝑦 < 2𝑥2 − 𝑥 + 3
1 < 2(−3)2 − (−3) + 3
1 < 2(9) − 3 + 3
1 < 18 + 6
1 < 24 TRUE
Therefore, (-3, 1) is a solution.

53
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
 b) Point (2, 10), x = 2, y =10
Substitute in 𝑦 < 2𝑥2 − 𝑥 + 3
10 < 2(2)2 − (2) + 3
10 < 2(4) − 2 + 3
10 < 8 − 2 + 3
10 < 9 FALSE
Therefore, (2, 10) is NOT a solution.
Example 2: Determine whether or not each given point is a solution of the given
quadratic inequality 𝑦 ≥ 3𝑥2 − 7
a) Point (1, -4), x = 1 , y = -4
Substitute in 𝑦 ≥ 3𝑥2 − 7
−4 ≥ 3(1)2 − 7
−4 ≥ 3 − 7
−4 ≥ −4
−4 = −4 TRUE
Therefore, (1, -4) is a solution.
b) Point (-2, 12) x = 2, y = 12
Substitute in 𝑦 ≥ 3𝑥2 − 7
12 ≥ 3(−2)2 − 7
12 ≥ 3(4) − 7
12 ≥ 12 − 7
12 ≥ 5 TRUE
Therefore, (-2, 12) is a solution.

Solving Problems Involving Quadratic Inequalities

Background Information for Learners

Quadratic Inequalities are mathematical sentences that can be written in any of the
following forms: 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 > 0, 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 < 0, 𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 ≥ 0, 𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 ≤ 0.
In solving problems involving quadratic inequalities, the following must be considered:
1. Analyze and Represent the Problem
2. Write the mathematical inequality
3. Solve the Problem
4. Check
Inequality symbols should be represented correctly.
REMEMBER:
< less than, fewer than, up to
> greater than, more than, exceeds, in excess of
≤ Less than or equal to, at most, not more than
≥ Greater than or equal to, at least, not less than

EXAMPLE:
One leg of a right triangle is 7cm shorter than the other leg. How long should the
shorter leg be to ensure the hypotenuse is at least 13cm?
SOLUTION:
Inequality: (At least)→ ≥ c
a
Let 𝑥 → 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑔
𝑥 − 7 → 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑔 b

The given problem above is about right triangle, wherein Pythagorean Theorem is
applied. Pythagorean Theorem: 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 = 𝑐 2 ,
𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑔𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑦𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑠𝑒
Thus, 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 ≥ 𝑐2
𝑥 2 + (𝑥 − 7)2 ≥ 132 (Substitution)
𝑥 + 𝑥 − 14𝑥 + 49 ≥ 169 (Simplify)
2 2

2𝑥2 − 14𝑥 + 49 − 169 ≥ 0 (Combine like terms)

2𝑥 2 − 14𝑥 − 120 ≥ 0 (Simplify)

59
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
Since, the entire quadratic inequality had a common factor, we divide each term by the GCF,
thus,
2𝑥 2 14𝑥 120
− − ≥ 0 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑢𝑙𝑡 𝑖𝑠 (𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 − 60) ≥ 0
2 2 2
(𝑥 − 12)(𝑥 + 5) ≥ 0 (Factor)
Therefore, 𝒙 ≥ 𝟏𝟐, 𝒙 ≤ −𝟓 (𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒔),

In illustration,
Checking: -5 0 12

𝑥 ≥ 12, let’s try 𝑥 = 13

Substitute from the
original equation.
𝑥2 + (𝑥 − 7)2 ≥ 132
(13)2 + (13 − 7)2 ≥
132
169 + 36 ≥ 169
205 ≥ 169
TRUE
𝑥 ≤ −5, let’s try 𝑥 = −5
Substitute from the
original equation.
𝑥2 + (𝑥 − 7)2 ≥ 132
(−5)2 + (−5 − 7)2 ≥
132
25 + 144 ≥ 169
179 ≥ 169
TRUE

This means that the solution set is 𝒙 ≥ 𝟏𝟐, 𝒙 ≤ 𝟓 𝒐𝒓 − 𝟓 ≥ 𝒙 ≥ 𝟏𝟐

Modelling Real-Life Situations Using Quadratic Functions

Background Information for Learners

Have you ever tried shooting a basketball to the rim? Have you ever wondered why
Stephen Curry, an NBA player is good at shooting the ball? Have you ever experienced
launching an improvised rocket during a Science experiment? Or simply, throwing a stone
upward to hit a mango fruit?
One of the most interesting topics in Mathematics is the quadratic function. It has
many applications and has played a fundamental role in solving many problems related to
human life. This can be helpful in the fields of sports, medicines, business and others.
For example, try to look at the figure below. A basketball player is trying to shoot the
basketball to the rim with a distance of approximately 5 meters. For him to score, he needs to
throw needs to throw the ball vertically upward towards the rim.

4
Height in

1
1 2 3 4 5 6

Horizontal distance in meters

The path of the ball is parabolic. It arcs up in the air .The maximum height required
for a perfect shot is 6 meters.
In physics, the distance S (in meters) travelled by a freely falling body after t seconds
can be modelled as S = 4.9t². The two quantities are related quadratically.
Quadratic functions can be also applied in area related problems. For example, the
area A of a rectangular tulip garden has length 5 units longer than thrice its width. This can
be modelled as:

65
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
 w

3w + 5

Since the area formula is just multiplying the length and the width,
A = w( 3w + 5).
A = 3w² + 5w

Representations of Quadratic Functions

Background Information for Learners

A. Representing a Quadratic Function Using Table of Values, Ordered Pairs,
Mapping

Quadratic Function is in the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐

where: x values are called DOMAIN
y values are called RANGE
Ordered Pair: (𝑥, 𝑦 ) 𝑜𝑟 (𝑑𝑜𝑚𝑎𝑖𝑛, 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒)

Examples: Note: A quadratic relation is NOT a quadratic function if the domain is

a) Set of ordered pairsrepeated, then it is considered a PURE RELATION.
(3, 2), (2, −3), (1, 0), (4, 2)
domain → 3, 2, 1, 4, → NOT REPEATED
range → 2, −3, 0, −2 → NOT REPEATED
It is a one-to-one correspondence, therefore the set of ordered pairs is a
FUNCTION.

b) Table of Values
X -3 -1 1 3
Y 5 0 5 3

domain → −3, −2, 1, 3 → NOT REPEATED

range → 5, 0, 5, 3 → REPEATED
It is many-to-one correspondence, therefore the table of values is a FUNCTION.

c) Mapping
X y domain → 2, 2, 3, 4 → REPEATED
2 -1
3 -2 range → −1, − 2, −3, −4 → NOT REPEATED

 B. Identifying Whether a Given Equation is a Quadratic Function

In the previous lesson of Quadratic Equation, you were informed how to identify an
equation in the form of 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐=0 This topic aims to broaden your knowledge to
quadratic function in the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 where a,b, and c are real numbers and a is
not equal to zero.
Consider that x is in the second degree power but not y.
Examples:
1. 𝑦 = 2𝑥2 − 𝑥 + 2 → QUADRATIC FUNCTION
2. 𝑦 = 𝑥(𝑥 − 3), simplify, the result is 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 → QUADRATIC FUNCTION
3. 𝑦 2 + 𝑥 2 = 3 , y is in the second degree → NOT QUADRATIC FUNCTION

C. Identifying Quadratic Functions Given Graphs

Vertical Line Test- a graph is a function if and only if a vertical line touches the graph only

Transforming Quadratic Functions From General Form To Vertex Form

And Vice Versa

Background Information for Learners

A. Transforming General Form of Quadratic Function 𝒚 = 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄 into

Vertex Form 𝒚 = 𝒂(𝒙 − 𝒉)𝟐 + 𝒌
Quadratic Function requires vertex and shall be considered as point on its graph. The
vertex form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘 will help you work on problems involving the vertex of the
graph of a quadratic function.
Vertex Form: 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘, where: k is the range,
a is the coefficient of quadratic term,
h is the line/axis of symmetry
Note: (x,y)→ ordered pair or a point
(h,k)→vertex of the graph
𝒃
Consider these in solving for h and k: ℎ=− 4𝑎𝑐−𝑏2
𝟐𝒂 and 𝑘= 4𝑎
Examples:
1. 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 3 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −2, 𝑐=3
Solve for h and k:
𝒃 −2
ℎ=− Substitute: ℎ = − [ =−( ) =1, 𝒉=𝟏
𝟐𝒂 −2 2
]
2( 1)
4(1)(3)− 8
4𝑎𝑐−𝑏2 Substitute: 𝑘= 12−4 = , 𝒌=𝟐
𝑘 = 4𝑎 2
(−2) = 4 4
Vertex: (1,2) 4(1)

Substitute to 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘

𝑦 = (𝑥 − 1)2 + 2
Note: a=1, so there is no need to write it in the vertex form.
Therefore, the general form 𝒚 = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟑has vertex form 𝒚 = (𝒙 − 𝟏)𝟐 + 𝟐

2. 𝑦 = −3𝑥2 + 𝑥 − 5𝑎
a= -3, b=1, c= -5

Vertex: 𝟓𝟗
(,− )
𝟔 𝟏𝟐
The general form 𝒚 = −𝟑𝒙𝟐 + 𝒙 − 𝟓 has the vertex form 𝒚 = −𝟑(𝒙 − 𝟏𝟐 𝟓𝟗
𝟔) − 𝟏𝟐

B. Transforming Vertex Form 𝒚 = 𝒂(𝒙 − 𝒉)𝟐 + 𝒌 Into General Form 𝒚 = 𝒂𝒙𝟐 + 𝒃𝒙 + 𝒄

You have learned how to express or transform general form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 into vertex
form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘. The previous lesson gave you knowledge that (h,k) is the vertex of
the graph.
In this lesson, we will do the reverse order by transforming vertex form into general
form. Before going further, we will have a simple review on how to square binomials.

Rule: (𝑎 + 𝑏)2 → square the first term→ 𝑎2

→twice the product of the first and the second term a and b→ 2𝑎𝑏
→ square the second term→ 𝑏2
Therefore: (𝒂 + 𝒃)𝟐 = 𝒂𝟐 + 𝟐𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃𝟐

Transform Vertex form into General form or 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘 into 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐

Examples: Transform into general form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐

a. 𝑦 = 3(𝑥 − 2)2 + 5, first simplify (𝑥 − 2)2 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 4,
then multiply the result by 3 𝑦 = 3(𝑥2 − 4𝑥 + 4) + 5
𝑦 = 3𝑥2 − 12𝑥 + 12 + 5
Combine Like Terms 𝑦 = 3𝑥2 − 12𝑥 + 17
General Form: 𝒚 = 𝟑𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟐𝒙 + 𝟏𝟕

b. 𝑦 = −5(𝑥 + 3)2 − 1 First, simplify (𝑥 + 3)2 𝑥 2 + 6𝑥 + 9

next, multiply the result by 5 5(𝑥2 + 6𝑥 + 9) − 1 5𝑥 + 30𝑥 + 45 − 1
2

Combine like terms 𝑦 = −5𝑥2 − 30𝑥 − 46

General Form: 𝒚 = −𝟓𝒙𝟐 − 𝟑𝟎𝒙 − 𝟒𝟔

Graphs of Quadratic Functions

Background Information for Learners

A. Completing The Table of Values, Solving For The Range Given The
Domain, And Determining The Graph And Intercepts

Given a quadratic function in the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, you are tasked to complete
the table of values and sketch the graph on the Cartesian plane.
On the graph, plot the ordered pairs (x, y) where x values are called DOMAIN
and y values are called RANGE.
The example below will guide you on this activity.
a) Complete the table and sketch on the Cartesian plane, use 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 3,
substitute the values of x in the given function.

X -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
Y 12 5 0 -3 -4 -3 0

when 𝑥 = −3, 𝑦 = (−3)2 − 2(−3) − 3, 𝑦 = 9 + 6 − 3, 𝒚=

𝑥 = −2, 𝑦 = (−2)2 − 2(−2) − 3, 𝑦 = 4 + 4 − 3, 𝒚=
𝑥 = −1, 𝑦 = (−1)2 − 2(−1) − 3, 𝑦 = 1 + 2 − 3, 𝒚=
𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = (0)2 − 2(0) − 3, 𝑦 = 0 − 3, 𝒚=
𝑥 = 1, 𝑦 = (1)2 − 2(1) − 3, 𝑦 = 1 − 2 − 3, 𝒚=
𝑥 = 2, 𝑦 = (2)2 − 2(2) − 3, 𝑦 = 4 − 4 − 3, 𝒚=
𝑥 = 3, 𝑦 = (3)2 − 2(3) − 3, 𝑦 = 9 − 6 − 3, 𝒚=
Domain are: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
Range are: 12, 5, 0, -3, -4, -3, 0
Ordered pairs/Points on 𝑦 = 𝑥2 − 2𝑥 − 3 are:
(-3, 12), (-2, 5), (-1, 0), (0, -3), (1, -4), (2, -3), (3, 0)

87
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
Then plot the points on the Cartesian Plane and sketch the graph

Note: Connect the points and form a CURVE.

Intercepts: x-intercept → when y=0

y-intercept → when x=0
Observe the ordered pairs table of values, there exist zero values in the
range and domain, which means that the given function 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 3 has x and
y- intercepts.
Therefore: x-intercepts of the function are -1 and 3
y- intercept is -3

B. Identifying the Parts and Properties of the Graph of Quadratic Function

In the previous lessons, you were informed about the vertex (of the graph) which is a
point on the graph.
In this topic, you will be more equipped of the knowledge of the properties of the
graph of quadratic function 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 called the PARABOLA.

Parts and Properties of Parabola

1. Axis/ line of Symmetry- a line that divides a parabola into 2 equal parts such that
one- half of the graph is a reflection of the other half. The line x = h is the axis of
symmetry.
2. Vertex- is either the lowest or the highest point of the graph.

Remember
Vertex this: is defined as (h, k) refer this to the previous lesson.
of the graph
a) If 𝑎 > 0, the parabola opens upward and has a minimum point.
b) If 𝑎 < 0, the parabola opens downward and has a maximum point.

88
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
 3. Range- is the set of {𝑦: 𝑦 ≥ 𝑘}
Remember this:
If the opening is upward, then the range is 𝑦 ≥ 𝑘 and if downward, the range is 𝑦 ≤ 𝑘.

The graphs below show clearly the parts and properties of a parabola.

Summary:
1. In g1, the following are its parts:
a) opening: downward
b) vertex: (-3, 3) h= -3, k=3
c) axis of symmetry : x= -3
d) point of the vertex: maximum point
e) range : y≤3
2. In g2, the following are its parts:
a) opening : upward
b) vertex : (4, -2) h= 4, k= -2
c) axis of symmetry : x= 4
d) point of the vertex: minimum point
e) range : y ≥ −2

Note: Axis of symmetry is expressed in

Suppose you are tasked to plot the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 , notice
that a is either positive or negative, so you will consider the opening( upward 𝑎 > 0, and
downward 𝑎 < 0)

a.3. Draw a Cartesian Plane
Plot Vertex (1, -4), Point or P1 (0, -3)
Connect the points forming a curve.

Note: The distance of the axis of

symmetry to point (0, -3) is 4 units.

Then, draw a reflection of the curve at the right by

counting 4 units from the axis of symmetry, thus,
creating second point or P2 (5, 0)

Parts of the Parabola:

 Opening is upward, 𝑎 > 0

Analyzing Graphs of Quadratic Function

Background Information for Learners

In the previous activities familiarized you with the graph of Quadratic Function and its
parts.
Parabola - the graph of Quadratic Function
- If 𝒂 > 𝟎 the parabola opens upward and has a minimum point
- If 𝒂 < 𝟎 the parabola opens downward and has a maximum point
Vertex – the turning point of the parabola
Axis of symmetry- is a line that divides the parabola into two parts such that one-half
of the graph is a reflection of the other half.
The Domain of a Quadratic Function is the set of all real numbers.
The Range depends on whether the parabola opens upward or downward.
-If it opens upward the range is the set {𝒚: 𝒚 ≥ 𝒌}
-If it opens downward the range is the set {𝒚: 𝒚 ≤ 𝒌}
In this lesson, we are going to analyze the effect on the graph of a quadratic function
when there is a change in the values of 𝑎, ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑘 in the equation 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘.
The vertex of the parabola is represented by (ℎ, 𝑘). The value of 𝑘 is the vertical (𝑦)
location of the vertex and ℎ the horizontal (𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠) value. In short, ℎ represent horizontal
shift (how far left or right the graph has shifted from 𝑥 = 0) and 𝑘 represents a vertical
shift( how far up or down the graph has shifted from 𝑦 = 0. ℎ and 𝑘 determines the location
of the curve but not its shape.

Finding the Equation of a Quadratic Function

Background Information for Learners

A. Determines the Equation of Quadratic Function Given a Table of Values

In the previous activities you have learned how to transform Quadratic Function in
general form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 into the standard form or vertex form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘 and
vice-versa and familiarized you with its parts. This lesson will teach you on how to find the
equation of a quadratic function given: (a) a table of values; (b) graph; (c) zeros.
You have learned that two points determine a line. This means that if you are given
any two points in the plane, then there is one and only one line that contains both points. A
similar statement can be made about points and quadratic function. A quadratic function, of
the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐, is determined by three points. A point is named by its ordered
pair of the form (𝑥, 𝑦) where the first number corresponds to the 𝑥 − 𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒 and the
second to the 𝑦 − 𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒. Given three points on the graph of quadratic function, we can
work out the function by finding the values of a, b and c algebraically. This will require
solving a system of three equations in three unknowns.

B. Determines the Equation of Quadratic Function Given a Graph

Graph of Quadratic Function of the form 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 is a curved called
parabola. It also has a turning point called vertex. The vertex of the parabola is the point
where the parabola crosses its axis of symmetry. If a is positive (𝑎 > 0)the parabola opens
upward and has a minimum point, if it is negative (𝑎 < 0)it opens downward and has a
maximum point. If the Quadratic Function is in vertex form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + 𝑘, the vertex
is the point (ℎ, 𝑘) where 𝑥 = 𝑘 is the axis of symmetry and 𝑘 is the minimum or
maximum value of the function.

 C. Determines the Equation of Quadratic Function Given the Zeros

A root or solution of a quadratic function is the value of the variable that satisfies the
equation. It is also called the zeros of the function. The zeros of a function are points on
the graph of the function where it intersects the x-axis. One way to derive the equation of
a quadratic function is when the zeros are given.

Study the mathematical concept below to have a better understanding on how to get the
equation of the quadratic function given its zeros
Problem 1: If 2 and 3 are zeros of a quadratic function, find the equation of the quadratic
function.
The following are two different ways of determining equation of the quadratic function given
its zeros.

Using Factored Form

If 𝑟1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟2 are the zeros of a quadratic function then 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑎 (𝑥 − 𝑟1 )(𝑥 − 𝑟2 ) where a is a non
zero constant that can be determined from the other point on the graph.
𝑟1 = 2

𝑟2 = 3

𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑎 (𝑥 − 𝑟1 )(𝑥 − 𝑟2 ) Note!
Substitute the given roots then multiply the binomial or apply FOIL method𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑟1)(𝑥 − 𝑟2), where a is any nonzero co
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 − 3)

𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 6)

𝒇(𝒙 ) = 𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟓𝒙 + 𝟔

Using the sum and product of roots

You can use the sum and product of the zeros to find the equation of the quadratic function.
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − (𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑡𝑠 )𝑥 + 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑡𝑠
Sum of Roots: 𝑥1 + 𝑥2 = 2 + 3 = 𝟓
Product of Roots: 𝑥1 ∙ 𝑥2 = 2 ∙ 3 = 𝟔
𝑓 𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − (𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑡𝑠 )𝑥 + 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑡𝑠
(
Substitute the computed sum and product 𝑓of(𝑥
roots
) = 𝑥2 − (5)𝑥 + 6
𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟓𝒙 + 𝟔

Thus an equation of quadratic function with zeros 2 and 3 is 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟓𝒙 + 𝟔

10
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
Problem 2: Find an equation of the quadratic function whose zeros are ± 3√5.
Suggestion: Use sum and product of Roots
Solutions: 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − (𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑡𝑠 )𝑥 + 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑡𝑠
Sum of Roots: 𝑥1 + 𝑥2 = 3√5 + (− 3√5) = 𝟎
Product of Roots: 𝑥1 ∙ 𝑥2 = 3√5 ∙ (−3√5) = −𝟒𝟓
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑥 2 − (𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑡𝑠 )𝑥 + 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑡𝑠
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2 − (0)𝑥 + (−45)
𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟒𝟓
Thus an equation of quadratic function with zeros ± 3√5 is 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟒𝟓3
Problem 3: Find an equation of the quadratic function whose zeros are 1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 − .
2 2

Suggestion: Use Factored Form

Solutions:
1
𝑟1 =
2 3
𝑟2 = −
2
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑎 (𝑥 − 𝑟1 )(𝑥 − 𝑟2 )
1 3
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑎 (𝑥 − ) (𝑥 − (− ))
2 2
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑎 (𝑥 − 1 3
) (𝑥 + )
2 2
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(2𝑥 − 1)(2𝑥 + 3)
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(4𝑥2 + 6𝑥 − 2𝑥 − 3)
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎(4𝑥2 + 4𝑥 − 3)
𝑓(𝑥) = 4𝑥2 + 4𝑥 − 3
3
Thus an equation of quadratic function with zeros 1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 − is 𝒇(𝒙 ) = 𝟒𝒙𝟐 + 𝟒𝒙 − 𝟑

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Problem Solving Involving Quadratic Functions

Background Information for Learners

This lesson was about solving real-life problems involving quadratic functions. The
lesson provided for you with opportunities to see the real-life applications of quadratic
functions in this two day-lesson.
Quadratic function can be applied in different fields like physics, industry, and
business and in various other mathematical problems. Familiarity with quadratic function,
their zeros and their properties is very important in solving real-life problems.
As with any other algebraic problems, we always represent all unknowns with the use
of variables. We then construct a mathematical model that describes to the problem. We must
always note what each of the variables pertain to, to avoid confusion.
To better understand how the concepts of the quadratic function can be applied to
solve geometry problems, study the illustrative example presented below.

Example 1. What are the dimensions of the largest rectangular field that can be
enclosed by 80 m of fencing wire?
Solution: Let l and w be the length and width of a rectangle. Then, the perimeter P of
a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w. Since P = 80 m, thus,

2l + 2w = 80
l + w = 40 It follows that
l = 40 – w expressing the length as a function of w
l = 40 – w Substituting in the formula for the area A of a
rectangle w A(w) = wl
A(w) = w ( 40 – w )
A(w) = -w2+ 40w
By completing the square, A(w) = - (w - 20 ) 2 + 400. The vertex of the graph of the
function A(w) is (20, 400). This point indicates the maximum value of 400 for A(w) that
occurs when w = 20. Thus, the maximum area is 400 m2 when the width is 20. If the width is
20 m, then the length is (40 – 20) m or 20 m also. The field with maximum area is a square.

The illustrative example below is intended for you to better understand the key ideas
necessary to solve real-life problems involving quadratic function.
Free falling objects can be modeled by a quadratic function h(t) = –4.9t 2 + V0t + h0,
where h(t) is the height of an object at t seconds, when it is thrown with an initial velocity of
V0 m/s and an initial height of h0 meters. If units are in feet, then the function is h(t) = –16t2
+ V0t + h0.
12
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
 Illustrative example:
From a 96-foot building, an object is thrown straight up into the air then follows a
trajectory. The height S(t) of the ball above the building after t seconds is given by the
function S(t) = 80t – 16t2. 1. What maximum height will the object reach? 2. How long will it
take the object to reach the maximum height? 3. Find the time at which the object is on the
ground.
Solution 1. The maximum height reached by the object is the ordinate of vertex of the
parabola of the function S(t) = 80t – 16t 2. By transforming this equation in completed square
form we have, S(t) = 80t – 16t2
S(t) = – 16t2 + 80t
S(t) = – 16(t2 - 5t)
S(t) = – 16(t2 - 5t + 25 ) + 100
4
S(t) = – 16(t - 5 )2 + 100
2
The vertex is (5 , 100). Thus the maximum height reached by the object is 100 ft from
2
the top of the building. This is 196 ft. from the ground.

2. The time for an object to reach the maximum height is the abscissa of the vertex of
the parabola or the value of h.
S(t) = 80t – 16t2
S(t) = – 16(t - 5 )2 + 100
2
Since the value of h is 5
or 2.5, then the object is at its maximum height after 2.5
2
seconds.

3. To find the time it will take the object to hit the ground, let S(t) = -96, since the
height of the building is 96 ft. The problem requires us to solve for t.
h(t) = 80t – 16t2
-96= 80t – 16t2
16t2 -80t -96 = 0
t2 – 5t - 6 = 0
( t -6) ( t + 1) = 0
t = 6 or t = -1
Thus, it will take 6 seconds before the object hits the ground.

A quadratic function can be applied also in business/industry to determine the

maximum profit, the break-even situation and the like. Suppose x denotes the number of units
a company plans to produce or sell. The revenue function R(x) is defined as R(x)= (price per
unit) x (number of units produced or sold). Study the example below.
Illustrative example
A garments store sells about 40 t-shits per week at a price of Php100 each. For each
P10 decrease in price, the sales lady found out that 5 more t-shits per week were sold.
a. Write a quadratic function in standard form that models the revenue from t-shirt
sales.
b. What price produces the maximum revenue?
12
Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all
 Solution: You know that Revenue R(x) = (price per unit) x (number of units produced
or sold). Therefore, Revenue R(x) = (Number of t-shirts sold) (Price per t-shirt)
Revenue R(x) = (40 + 5x) (100-10x)
R(x) = -50x2 + 100x +4000
If we transform the function into the form y = a(x- h)2 + k
R(x) = -50(x -1)2 + 4050
The vertex is (1, 4050). Thus, the maximum revenue is Php 4050

The price of the t-shirt to produce maximum revenue can be determined by

P(x) = 100 – 10x
P(x) = 100 – 10 (1) = 90
Thus, Php 90 is the price of the t-shirt that produces maximum revenue.
