4. Suppose the length of the board is 7 ft. longer than its width. What equation
would represent the given situation?
5. How would you describe the equation formulated?
6. Do you think you can use the equation formulated to find the length and the width
of the bulletin board? Justify your answer.
In the equation, ax2 is the quadratic term, bx is the linear term, and c is the
constant term.
Example 1: 2x2 + 5x – 3 = 0 is a quadratic equation in standard form with a =
2, b = 5, and c = -3.
Example 2: 3x(x – 2) = 10 is a quadratic equation. However, it is not written
in standard form.
To write the equation in standard form, expand the product and
make one side of the equation zero as shown below.

In the equation 3x2 – 6x – 10 = 0, a = 3, b = -6, and c = -10.
How did you find the preceding activities? Are you ready to learn about quadratic
equations? I’m sure you are!!! From the activities done, you were able to
describe equations other than linear equations, and these are quadratic
equations. You were able to find out how a particular quadratic equation is
illustrated in real life. But how are quadratic equations used in solving real-life
problems and in making decisions? You will find these out in the activities in the
next section. Before doing these activities, read and understand first some
important notes on quadratic equations and the examples presented.
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
Why do you think a
must not be equal to
zero in the equation
ax2 + bx + c = 0?

Example 3: The equation (2x + 5)(x – 1) = -6 is also a quadratic equation but
is not written in standard form.
Just like in Example 2, the equation (2x + 5)(x – 1) = -6 can be
written in standard form by expanding the product and making
one side of the equation zero as shown below.

The equation becomes 2x2 + 3x + 1 = 0, which is in standard
form.
In the equation 2x2 + 3x + 1 = 0, a = 2, b = 3, 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 x2 + 5 = 0, -2x2 + 7 = 0, and 16x2 – 9 = 0 are
quadratic equations of the form ax2 + c = 0. In each equation,
the value of b = 0.
What to PROCESS:
Your goal in this section is to apply the key concepts of quadratic equations. Use
the mathematical ideas and the examples presented in the preceding section to

The method of solving the quadratic equation kx 2
is called extracting
square roots.
Example 1: Find the solutions of the equation x2 – 16 = 0 by extracting
square roots.
Write the equation in the form kx 2
.
x2 – 16 = 0  x2 – 16 + 16 = 0 + 16
x2 = 16
Since 16 is greater than 0, then the first property above can be
applied to find the values of x that will make the equation
x2 – 16 = 0 true.
x2 = 16  16x
x = ±4
To check, substitute these values in the original equation.
Both values of x satisfy the given equation. So the equation
x2 – 16 = 0 is true when x = 4 or when x = -4.
Answer: The equation x2 – 16 = 0 has two solutions: x = 4 or x = -4.
Example 2: Solve the equation t2 = 0.
Since t2 equals 0, then the equation has only one solution.
That is, t = 0.

92
s
Since -9 is less than 0, then the equation 92
s has no real
solutions or roots. There is no real number when squared gives -
9.
Answer: The equation 092
s has no real solutions or roots.
Example 4: Find the solutions of the equation (x – 4)2 – 25 = 0.
To solve (x – 4)2 – 25 = 0, add 25 on both sides of the equation.
(x – 4)2 – 25 + 25 = 0 + 25
The resulting equation is (x – 4)2 = 25.
Solve the resulting equation.
(x – 4)2 = 25  254 x
x – 4 = ±5
Solve for x in the equation x – 4 = ±5.
x – 4 + 4 = ±5 + 4  x = ±5 + 4
The equation will result to two values of x.
Check the obtained values of x against the original equation.
(x – 4)2 – 25 = 0 is true when x = 9 or when x = -1.
Answer: The equation (x – 4)2 – 25 = 0 has two solutions: x = 9 or x = -1
x = 5 + 4
x = 9

There are equations that are transformable to quadratic equations. These
equations may be given in different forms. Hence, the procedures in transforming
these equations to quadratic equations may also be different.
Once the equations are transformed to quadratic equations, then they can be
solved using the techniques learned in previous lessons. The different methods of
solving quadratic equations, such as extracting square roots, factoring, completing
the square, and using the quadratic formula, can be used to solve these transformed
equations.
Solving Quadratic Equations That Are Not Written In Standard Form
Example 1: Solve x(x– 5) = 36.
This is a quadratic equation that is not written in standard form.
To write the quadratic equation in standard form, simplify the
expression x(x – 5).
How did you find the preceding activities? Are you ready to learn more about
rational algebraic equations? From the activities done, you were able to simplify
rational algebraic expressions. Also, you were able to represent quantities in
real-life using rational algebraic expressions and equations. But how are
quadratic equations used in solving real-life problems? You will find this out in

5. What is the width of the floor? How about its length?
6. How did you find the length and width of the floor?
The concept of quadratic equations is illustrated in many real-life situations.
Problems that arise from these situations, such as those involving area, work, profits,
and many others, can be solved by applying the different mathematics concepts and
principles previously studied including quadratic equations and the different ways of
solving them.
Example 1: A rectangular table has an area of 27 ft.2 and a perimeter of 24 ft. What
are the dimensions of the table?
The product of the length and width of the rectangular table represents
its area. Hence, length (l) times width (w) = 27 or lw = 27.
Also, twice the sum of the length and the width of the table gives the
perimeter. Hence, 2l + 2w = 24.
If we divide both sides of the equation 2422  wl by 2, then
12 wl .
We can think of lw = 27 and 12 wl as the equations representing
the product and sum of roots, respectively, of a quadratic equation.
Remember that if the sum and the product of the roots of a quadratic
equation are given, the roots can be determined. This can be done by
inspection or by using the equation 02

a
c
x
a
b
x , where
a
b

sum of the roots and
a
c

Were you able to find the width and length of the rectangular floor correctly? In

equations but before we proceed to the next activities, read and understand the
following note in solving word and real-life problems.

The roots of the quadratic equation then are 3 and 9. This implies that

Example 2: An amusement park wants to place a new rectangular billboard to
inform visitors of their new attractions. Suppose the length of the
billboard to be placed is 4 m longer than its width and the area is 96
m². What will be the length and the width of the billboard?
If we represent the width, in meters, of the billboard by x, then its length
is x + 4. Since the area of the billboard is 96 m², then    964 xx .
The equation    964 xx is a quadratic equation that can be written
in the form 0cba 2

However, we only consider the positive value of x since the situation
involves measure of length. Hence, the width of the billboard is 8 m
and its length is 12 m.

How are quadratic inequalities in two variables illustrated in real life?
The following is a situation where quadratic inequality in two variables is
illustrated.
In the given situation, the width of the room can be represented by w and the
length by w + 15. Why?
If we represent the area of the old playground as A, then the quadratic
inequality that would represent the given situation is   Aww 15 or Aww 152
.
Why?
The situation tells us that the area of the new playground is greater than the
area of the old playground. This means that the area of the new playground is
greater than 2,200. It could be 2,300, 3,500, 4,600, and so on.
One possible pair of dimensions of the new playground is 50 m and 65 m,
respectively. With these dimensions, the area of the new playground is   m65m50
or 3,250 m2.
It is not possible for w to take a negative value because the situation involves
measures of length.
The solution set of quadratic inequalities in two variables can be determined
graphically. To do this, write the inequality as an equation, then show the graph. The
graph of the resulting parabola will be used to graph the inequality.

The city government is planning to construct a new children’s playground. It

Suppose the area of the old playground is 2,200 m2. What could be the area

Construct table of values for x and y.
Use these points to graph a parabola. Points B(0,8), C(1,6), and
E(-3,2) are points along the parabola. The coordinates of these
points do not satisfy the inequality 232
 xxy . Therefore,
they are not part of the solution set of the inequality. We use a
broken line to represent the parabola since the points on the
parabola do not satisfy the given inequality.
The parabola partitions the plane into two regions. Select one
point in each region and check whether the given inequality is
satisfied. For example, consider the origin (0, 0), and substitute
this in the inequality. We obtain 0 < 0 + 0 + 2 or 0 < 2, which is
correct. Therefore, the entire region containing (0, 0) represents
the solution set and we shade it. On the other hand, the point (0,
8) is on the other region. If we substitute this in the inequality,
we obtain 8 < 0 + 0 + 2 or 8 < 2, which is false. Therefore, this

To check, points A(-6,7), D(3,3), and F(-2,-3) are some of the
points in the shaded region. If the coordinates of these points
are substituted in 232

Hence, they are part of the solution set.
Example 2: Find the solution set of 132 2

The figure in the preceding page shows the graph of
132 2
 xxy . All points in the shaded region including those
along the solid line (parabola) make up the solution set of the
inequality. The coordinates of any point in this region make the
inequality true. Points B(1,3), C(3,10), D(0,6), and E(0,1) are
some of the points on the shaded region and along the
parabola. The coordinates of these points satisfy the inequality
132 2

Consider point B whose coordinates are (1,3). If x = 1 and y = 3
are substituted in the inequality, then the mathematical
statement becomes true.

How did you find the preceding activity? I hope that you are now ready
to learn about quadratic functions. These are functions that can be described
by equations of the form y = ax2
+ bx + c, where, a, b and c are real numbers
and a  0. The highest power of the independent variable x is 2. Thus, the
equation of a quadratic function is of degree 2.

8. Compare the graph of linear function and quadratic function.
In a quadratic function, equal differences in the independent variable x produce equal
second differences in the dependent variable y.
Illustrative example
Let us consider y = x2
– 4
Differences in x
First Differences in y
Second Differences in y
Study the illustrative examples presented below.
Example 1
Express y = 3x2
– 4x + 1 in the form y = a(x - h)2
+ k form and give the values of h
and k.
x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y 5 0 -3 -4 -3 0 5
Did you enjoy the activity? You have seen that in a linear
function, equal differences in x produce equal differences in y. However,
in a quadratic function, equal differences in x do not lead to equal first
differences in y; instead the second differences in y are equal. Notice
also that the graph of a linear function is a straight line while the graph of
a quadratic function is a smooth curve. This smooth curve is parabola.
-5 -3 -1 1 3 5
2 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 1 1 1
You have seen in the example above that in the quadratic
function y = ax2
+ bx + c, equal differences in x produce equal
second differences in y.
The previous activities familiarized you with the general form
y = ax2
+ bx + c of a quadratic function. In your next activity, the
standard form or vertex form y = a(x - h)2
+ k will be introduced. The
standard form will be more convenient to use when working on problems
involving the vertex of the graph of a quadratic function.

The graph of a quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c is called parabola. You
have noticed that the parabola opens
upward or downward. It has a turning
point called vertex which is either the
lowest point or the highest point of the
graph. If the value of a > 0, the
parabola opens upward and has a
minimum point. If a < 0, the parabola
opens downward and has a maximum
point. There is a line called the axis of
symmetry which divides the graph into
two parts such that one-half of the graph
is a reflection of the other half.
If the quadratic function is expressed in
the form y = a(x - h)2 + k, the vertex is the point (h, k). The line x = h is the axis of
symmetry and k is the minimum or maximum value of the function.
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  kyy : ; if it opens downward, then the range is the set
 kyy : .

units. If h > 0, slide it to the right, if h < 0, slide it to the left. The
graph has vertex ( h, 0 ) and its axis is the line x = h.
To graph y = ax2 + k, slide the graph of y = ax2 vertically k
units. If k > 0 slide it upward; if k < 0, slide it downward. The
graph has vertex ( 0, k ) and its axis of symmetry is the line x = 0

Lesson 3. Finding the Equation of a Quadratic Function
What to KNOW
Activity 1. Give me my roots!
Directions: Given a quadratic equation x2 –x - 6 =0, find the roots in three
methods.
A value of x that satisfies the quadratic equation ax2 + bx +c = 0 is called a
root of the equation.
Let’s begin this lesson by recalling the methods of finding the roots
of quadratic equations. Then relate them with the zeros of the quadratic
functions. In this lesson, you will be able to formulate patterns and
relationship regarding quadratic functions. Furthermore, you will be able to
solve real-life problems involving equations of quadratic functions.

Activity 2 What are my zeros?
Directions: Perform this activity and answer the guided questions.
Examine the graph of the quadratic function y = x2 - 2x – 3
a. How would you describe the graph?
b. Give the vertex of the parabola and its axis of symmetry.
c. At what values of x does the graph intersect the x- axis?
d. What do you call these x- coordinates where the curve crosses the x- axis?
e. What is the value of y at these values of x?
The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola.
A parabola can cross the x-axis once, twice, or never.
The x-coordinates of hese points of intersection are
called x-intercepts. Let us consider the graph of the
quadratic function y = x2 - x – 6. It shows that the
curve crosses the x-axis at 3 and -2. These are the x-
intercepts of the graph of the function. Similarly, 3 and
-2 are the zeros of the function since these are the
values of x when y equals 0. These zeros of the function can be determined by
setting y to 0 and solving the resulting equation through different algebraic methods.
How did you find the activity? To better understand the zeros
of a function, study some key concepts below.

Example 1.
Find the zeros of the quadratic function y = x2
– 3x + 2 by factoring method.
Solution:
Set y = 0. Thus,
0 = x2
– 3x + 2
0 = ( x – 2) ( x – 1)
x – 2 = 0 or x – 1 = 0
Then x = 2 and x = 1
The zeros of y = x2
– 3x + 2 are 2 and 1.
Example 2.
Find the zeros of the quadratic function y = x2 + 4x – 2 using the completing
the square method.
Solution:
Set y = 0. Thus,
x2
+ 4x – 2 = 0
x2
+ 4x = 2
x2
+ 4x + 4 = 2 + 4
(x +2)2
= 6
x + 2 = + 6
x = -2 + 6
The zeros of y = x2
+ 4x -2 are -2 + 6 and -2 - 6 .
Example 3.
Find the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = x2 + x – 12 using the quadratic
formula.

How can you obtain the equation of a quadratic function from a table of values?
Study the illustrative examples below.
Illustrative example 1
Find a quadratic function whose zeros are -1 and 4.
Solution: If the zeros are -1 and 4, then
x = -1 or x = 4
It follows that
x + 1 = 0 or x - 4 = 0, then
(x+1) (x – 4) = 0
x2 – 3x - 4 = 0
The equation of the quadratic function f(x) = (x2 – 3x – 4) is not unique since
there are other quadratic functions whose zeros are -1 and 4 like f(x) = 2x2 -6x -8,
f(x) = 3x2 – 9x -12 and many more. These equations of quadratic functions are
obtained by multiplying the right-hand side of the equation by a nonzero constant.
Thus, the answer is f(x) = a(x2 – 3x – 4) where a is any nonzero constant.

Determine the equation of the quadratic function represented by the table of
values below.
Solution:
Notice that you can’t find any zeros from the given table of values. In this
case, take any three ordered pairs from the table, and use these as the values of x
and y in the equation y = ax2 + bx + c. Let’s say
using point ( 1, 4 ) 4 = a (1)2 + b(1) + c
4 = a + b + c ---------------> equation 1
using point ( -1, 10 ) 10 = a(-1)2 + b(-1) + c
10 = a –b + c ----------------> equation 2
using point ( 2, 4 ) 4 = a(2)2 + b(2) + c
4 = 4a + 2b + c -------------> equation 3
We obtain a system of 3 equations in a, b, and c.
Add corresponding terms in eq.1 and eq. 2 to eliminate b
eq. 1 + eq. 2 4 = a + b + c
10 = a –b + c
We have 14 = 2a + 2c --------------> equation 4
Multiply the terms in eq. 2 by 2 and add corresponding terms in eq. 3 to eliminate b
2(eq .2 ) + eq. 3 20 = 2a – 2b + 2c
4 = 4a + 2b + c
We have 24 = 6a + 3c-------> equation 5
Notice that equation 4 and equation 5 constitute a system of linear equations in two
variables. To solve for c, multiply the terms in equation 4 by 3 and subtract
corresponding terms in equation 5.
3 (eq. 4) – equation 5 42 = 6a + 6c
24 = 6a + 3c
18 = 3c
c = 6

Substitute the value of c in equation 4 and solve for a.
14 =2a + 2 ( 6)
14 = 2a + 12
2a = 14 – 12
a = 1
Substitute the value of c and a in equation 1 and solve for b.
4 = a + b + c
4 = 1 + b + 6
4 = 7 + b
b = 4 – 7
b = -3
Thus, a = 1, b = -3 and c = 6. Substitute these in f(x) = ax2 + bx + c; the quadratic
function is f(x) = x2 - 3x + 6.

When the vertex and any point on the parabola are clearly seen, the equation
of the quadratic function can easily be determined by using the form of a quadratic
function y = a(x – h)2 + k.
Illustrative example 1.
Find the equation of the quadratic function determined from the graph below.
Solution:
The vertex of the graph of the quadratic function is (2, -3). The graph passes
through the point (5, 0). By replacing x and y with 5 and 0, respectively,and h and k
with 2 and -3, respectively, we have
y = a(x- h)2 + k
0 = a(5 – 2)2 -3
0 = a(3)2 -3

Example 1
Find an equation of a quadratic function whose zeros are -3 and 2.
Solution
Since the zeros are r1 = -3 and r2 = 2, then
f(x) = a( x- r1 ) ( x – r2 )
f(x) = a[x – (-3)]( x – 2) 
f(x) = a(x + 3)( x – 2 )
f(x) = a(x2 + x – 6) where a is any nonzero constant.
Example 2
Find an equation of a quadratic function with zeros

23
.
Solution
A quadratic expression with irrational roots cannot be written as a product of
linear factors with rational coefficients. In this case, we can use another method.
Since the zeros are
3
23
then,
x =

23
3x = 23
3x -3 = 2
Square both sides of the equation and simplify. We get
9x2 -18x +9 = 2
9x2 -18x +7 = 0
Thus, an equation of a quadratic function is f(x) = 9x2 -18x +7.

The application of quadratic function can be seen in many
different fields like physics, industry, business and in variety of
mathematical problems. In this section, you will explore situations that
can be modeled by quadratic functions.
Let us begin this lesson by recalling the properties of quadratic
functions and how we can apply them to solve real life problems.
How did you find the activity? Can you still recall the properties of
quadratic function? Did you use them in solving the given problem?
To better understand how the concepts of the quadratic function

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
A(w) = wl
A(w) = w ( 40 – w )
A(w) = -w2 + 40w
By completing the square,
A(w) = - ( w - 20 )2 + 400
The vertex the graph of the function A(w) is (20, 400). This point indicates the a
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.
Activity 2 Catch me when I fall!
Directions: Work in groups with 3 members each. Do the following activity.
Problem: The height (H) of the ball thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 9.8 m/s from

1. What kind of function is the equation H(t) = -4.9t2

5. How long will it take the ball to reach the maximum height?
6. If the height of the ball is 4 m, what is the resulting equation?
7. Find the value of t to determine the time it takes the ball to reach 4 m .
Free falling objects can be modeled by a quadratic function h(t) = –4.9t2 + 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.
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 – 16t2
. 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 +

) + 100
S(t) = – 16(t -

+ 100
The vertex is (
2
5
, 100) Thus the maximum height reached by the object is 100
ft from 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.
How did you find the preceding activity? The previous activity
allowed you to recall your understanding of the properties of quadratic
function and gave you an opportunity to solve real-life related problems that
deal with quadratic function

understand the key ideas necessary to solve real-life problems involving

)2
+ 100
Since the value of h is
2
5
or 2.5, then the object is at its maximum height after
2.5 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.

Problem. 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?
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.
How did you find the activity? A quadratic function can be applied
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).
