I. Introductory Concept
In the previous year level, you have learned about linear equations and how to find their
solutions. You were also given some applications to solve some real-life problems using this
concept. In this activity, you will learn different ways to illustrate quadratic equation and it will be
helpful to understand the succeeding activities.
III. Activities
A. Write the letter of the correct answer on your answer sheet. If your answer is not found
among the choices, write the correct answer.
1. Given a, b, and c are real numbers and 𝑎 ≠ 0, which of the following is the standard form
of quadratic equation?
A. 𝑎𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0 C. 𝑎 = 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐
B. 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 = 0 D. 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏2 + 𝑐 = 0
5. When the quadratic equation (𝑥 + 5) (2𝑥 – 3) = 2(𝑥 + 1) is written in standard form, what
are the values of a, b, and c.
A. 𝑎 = 4, 𝑏 = 19, 𝑐 = −17 C. 𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −5, 𝑐 = 17
B. 𝑎 = 2, 𝑏 = 5, 𝑐 = −17 D. 𝑎 = 2, 𝑏 = 10, 𝑐 = 17
8. Ryan is constructing a play house. He wants each window to have an area of 315 cm2.
Which of the statement below forms a quadratic equation?
A. the length of each window is 4 less than the square of the width
B. the length of each window is 6 cm more than the width
C. the area of the window is twice its width
D. the sum of the length and width is twice its area
9. The area of a square with side s is 144 𝑐𝑚2. Which quadratic equation represents the area
of the square?
A. 4𝑠 = 144 C. 𝑠 (𝑠 + 1) = 144
2
B. 𝑠 = 144 D. (𝑠 + 1)2 = 144
10. A rectangular lot has an area of 132𝑚2 and a perimeter of 46𝑚. Which of the following
quadratic equation illustrates the given situation?
A. 𝑥2 − 23𝑥 + 132 = 0 C. 𝑥2 + 46𝑥 – 132 = 0
B. 𝑥2 + 23𝑥 + 132 = 0 D. 𝑥2 – 46𝑥 + 132 = 0
The Mathematics Club teamed up with the Science club to construct two rectangular
garden that share a side for schools Go Green campaign, as shown. The garden will use
51m of fencing materials. Each garden has an area of 54m2.
1. How are you going to represent the sides of each rectangular garden?
2. How will you represent the sides of the biggest rectangle?
3. If there are 51m of fencing materials, what equation will represent one of the sides of the
biggest rectangular garden?
4. What equation will represent the area of the rectangle? Write this equation in standard
form?
IV. Reflection
Answer the following questions to test further your understanding.
Activity A.
1. A
2. C
3. A
4.
Activity B.
Reflection:
1. Quadratic equations are mathematical sentences of degree 2 while linear equations are
mathematical sentences of degree 1.
2. (Check students’ explanations and the examples they will give. Their answers might be
different but all are correct.)
3. Yes. 2x2 + 3x – 4 = 0 or -2x2 – 3x + 4 = 0
