WHAT’S IN

Let us recall how to multiply polynomials.

Remember that to multiply two polynomials, multiply each term of one
polynomial by each term of the other polynomial then simplify by combining similar
terms if needed.
Study the examples below:
a. x ( x + 5 ) = x2 + 5x b. (x + 3) ( x – 2) = x 2 + x – 6

Try this!
Multiply and simplify, if needed.
1. x ( 2x – 7)
2. (x + 5)( x + 9)
3. (2x – 1)( x + 3) Let us analyze!

4. (x + 6)2 a. How will you describe the products

5. (5x + 4) (5x – 4) obtained?

6. (3x – 8) (x + 2)
WHAT’S NEW

There are situations that represent other function that is equally important
as linear function. Perform the activity below to find out.
Vegetable Garden
In the middle of a crisis where establishments are closed
and prime commodities are hard to find; we think of having
our own vegetable garden. This way, we can get our
supplies of vegetable right in our own backyard.
Aling Tuding is a resourceful person that is why she is planning to convert her
rectangular vacant lot at the back of her house into a vegetable garden. She
remembered that the area of her vacant lot is 15m2. She also recalled that the length is
3 meters longer than the width. Without even starting to cultivate the soil, Aling Tuding
is already excited to harvest her favorite vegetables soon.
• What equation would represent the attributes of the rectangular garden?
Do you think you can use this equation to find the dimensions of the rectangular
garden? Why or why not?
Despite of the crisis, we should be like Aling Tuding. We must make this crisis an
opportunity to develop and strengthen ourselves.

WHAT IS IT

Let’s investigate the measurement of Aling Tuding’s vegetable garden.

First, let us identify and represent the unknowns in the problem. If we let x be
the width of the rectangular garden, then the length will be x + 3 since it is 3 more than
the width. That is,
x = width of the garden
x + 3 = length of the garden
15 (square meters) = area of the rectangular garden
Then we can represent the dimensions as shown in the figure:
 X+3
The area (A) of any rectangle can be solve by the formula:
A = lw, where l is the length and the w is the
AREAwidth.
= 15mHence,
2
in the given figure:
A = lw
15 = x(x + 3) Substituting to the area formula
15 = x2 + 3x by Distributive Property
X2 + 3x – 15 = 0 by Addition Property of Equality
What is the degree of the equation obtained?

What do you call this kind of equation?

The equation in one variable obtained from the situation, x2+ 3x – 15 = 0, has
a degree of 2. It means the highest exponent of the variable is 2. This kind of second-
degree equation is also called quadratic equation.

A quadratic equation in one variable is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a, b, and c are real
numbers and a ≠ 0. This form of quadratic equation is written in standard form. In this
equation, ax2 is the quadratic term, bx is the linear term, and c is the arithmetic or constant
term. In addition,
a in the quadratic term is the coefficient of x2 which may be positive or negative but
not equal to zero.
b in the linear term is the coefficient of x which may be positive, negative or
zero.
c is the constant term which may be positive, negative or zero.

Going back to our equation x2 + 3x – 15 = 0, since it is written in standard form,

we can easily identify the values of a, b and c. Look at the table below to understand it
better.
 Quadratic Equation Quadratic Term Linear Term Constant Term
in Standard Form x2 bx c
ax2 + bx + c = 0

X2 + 3x – 15 = 0 X2 3x -15

Therefore, a=1 b=3 c = -15

since 1 is the since 3 is the since -15 is the
coefficient of x2 coefficient of x constant term

Example 1:
Determine if the given equation is quadratic. If yes, identify the values of a, b and c.
a. 3x2 + 2x = 9
b. (x − 5) (2x + 3) = 7
c. 2x2 – 15 = 2(x2 + 7x)
Solutions:
a. The equation 3x2 + 2x = 9 is quadratic but not in standard form. The standard form is
3x2 + 2x – 9 = 0 with a = 3, b = 2 and c = −9
b. To check if the equation is quadratic, multiply the left side of the equation and
simplify by combining similar terms.

(x − 5) (2x + 3) = 7
2x2 – 7x – 15 = 7
2x2 – 7x – 8 = 0

Since the degree of the equation is 2, it is a quadratic equation. The value

of a = 2, b = −7, and c = −8.
c. To check if the equation is quadratic, simplify the left side of the equation then
combine similar terms.
 2x2 – 15 = 2(x2 + 7x)
2x2 – 15 = 2x2 + 14x
2x2 – 2x2 – 14x – 15 = 0
− 14x – 15 = 0
Since the resulting equation has a degree of 1, then it is not quadratic. Thus,
− 14x – 15 = 0 is a linear equation.

Check your understanding by completing the table below.

Quadratic Equations Standard Form a b c
ax2 + bx + c = 0
EXAMPLE: 2x2 – 7x = 0 2 -7 0
x (2x – 7) = 0
1. (x + 5) (x + 9) = 20

2. (2x – 1) (x + 3) = -2x

3. (x + 6)2 = 12x

4. (5x + 4) (5x – 4) = 0

5. (3x – 8) (x + 2) = 2x

Example 2.
Represent each situation using quadratic equation.
a. A rectangular prism has a height of 3 m. Its length is three times its width. The
volume of the prism is 18 m3.
Solution:
Given:
Rectangular Prism
Height = 3 m
 Volume = 18 m3
Representation of unknown:
Let w – be the width
Let 3w – be the length (since, the length is 3 times the width)
Solution:
Volume of the Rectangular Prism = Length x Width x Height
or V = lwh
18 = (3w)(w)(3)
18 = 9w2
19w2 – 18 = 0
Thus, the quadratic equation that described the situation is 9w2 -18 = 0.

b. Jody is constructing a model house. He wants each window to have an area of

315 cm2, and he wants the length of each window to be 6 cm more than the width.
Solution:
Given :
Area of the rectangular window = 315 cm2
Representation of unknown:
Let x – be the width
Let x + 6 – be the length
Solution:
A = length x width or A = L x W
315 = x(x+6)
x2 + 6x = 315
x2 + 6x – 315 = 0
Thus, the quadratic equation that described the situation is x2 + 6x – 315 = 0.

feet. The desired length will be 7 times the width.
