Quadratic Equations
What this module is about
This module is the last of the 3 modules for quadratic equations. In this
module you will be able to apply all the skills you have learned in solving
quadratic equations.

What are you expected to learn


This module is designed for you to:
1. Use the best method (factoring, quadratic formula and completing the
square) in solving a particular quadratic equation.
2. Solve equations reducible to quadratic equations.
3. Solve verbal problems involving quadratic equations.

How much do you know


A. Solve each equation.
1. x - 7x + 6 = 0
2. (u 6) = 13
3.

4. 2 (m 1) - 3 (m 1) + 1 = 0
B. Solve the problems.
5. The product of a number and 2 more than itself is 3. Find the number.
6. A field is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 4 units longer than its
width. If its area is 96 sq. units, what are the dimensions of the field?

What you will do


Lesson 1
Choosing A Method
At this point, you have already learned all the methods used in solving a
quadratic equation. These are:
1. Factoring
2. Completing the square
3. Quadratic formula
You have learned that completing the square and the quadratic formula
work in all types of quadratic equations. But you also know that the factoring
method, when it works is often the easiest to use. The question is, how should
you choose a method for a particular equation?
Unless an equation is given in the form a(x + p) = d it is easier to solve
quadratic equations by factoring than by using the quadratic formula or
completing the square.
It is important to remember that the first step in solving quadratic
equations is to transform the equation in standard form.
In the following examples, find why a particular method is chosen in
solving a given quadratic equation.
Example 1. Solve for x:
Solution:

3x = 5x

Begin by writing the equation in standard form.


3x = 5x
3x - 5x = 0

Notice that there is a common factor, the factoring method is most


convenient to use in this case.
x (3x 5) = 0
x = 0 or
3x 5 = 0
x = 0 or

x=

5
3

Notice that 3x = 5x is an incomplete form of a quadratic equation


where c = 0.
Example 2. Solve for x:
Solution:

x = 3x + 28

Again, write the equation in standard form.


x - 3x 28 = 0
(x 7) (x + 4) = 0
x7=0
or
x=7
or

by factoring
x+4=0
x = -4

This example shows that as long as the left-hand side is factorable,


factoring is the easiest method to use.
The checking is left for you to do.
Examples 1 and 2 showed to you where the factoring is most useful.
These are:
a.
when c = 0 in the equation ax + bx + c = 0; and
b. when the right hand side of the equation is factorable.
Example 3. Solve for x:
Solution:

10x + 39x 100 = 20 5x 14x

Begin by writing the equation into standard form by


combining similar terms.
10x + 39x 100 = 20 5x 14x
24x + 44x 120 = 0
Both sides of the equation is divisible by 4 so,
24 x 2 44 x 120 0

4
4

6x + 11x 30 = 0
You may find it difficult to factor or it may not factor at all. You may
then use the quadratic formula. So that, a = 6, b = 11, and c = -30

and

Note that your arithmetic skills can get messy and may cause a lot
of errors due to carelessness.
Factoring can also be used in this case.
6x + 11x 30 = 0
(2x 3) ( 3x + 10) = 0
2x 3 = 0
or
3x + 10 = 0
2x = 3
3x = -10
x = 3/2

or

x=-

10
3

Lastly, note that since you have already used two methods in
solving the equation and got the same answer, then you dont have to
check by substitution. By this time you should know that checking may
also be done by using another method in solving the equation.
Example 4. Solve for x: x (x 2) = 5x 2
Solution:

Begin by simplifying the left-hand side and write the


equation into standard form.
x (x 2) = 5x 2
x - 2x = 5x 2
x - 7x + 2 = 0

use the distributive property

Not factorable, so use the quadratic formula with a = 1, b = -7, c = 2

The checking is left for you to do.


Basically, if you are good at factoring, it probably pays to spend a minute
or two in trying to use the factoring method. If it fails, then generally you could
use the quadratic formula or completing the square.
Example 5. Solve for x:
Solution:

(3x - 5) = 17

Since this equation is given in the form (x p) = d then you


can readily use the square root method.
(3x - 5) = 17
3x 5 = 17
3x = 5 17
5 17
3
5 17
x=

x=

and

x=

You may use the quadratic formula in solving this equation, by


writing it in standard form first. However, if an equation is given in the form
of a perfect square, that is, (x - p) = d, then it is convenient to use the
square root method.
Just then suppose you use the quadratic formula to see that the
answer is correct. That is,
(3x - 5) = 17
9x - 30x + 25 = 17

not in standard form


expand the square of a binomial

9x - 30x + 25 17 = 0
9x - 30x + 8 = 0

write in standard form

may find it hard to simplify this one. But using a calculator you should find
that
x

30 612
= -0.29

The checking is left for you to do.


Example 6. Solve for t:
Solution:

3t + 2 = 5t - 4

Begin by writing the equation in standard form.


3t + 2 = 5t - 4
0 = 2t - 6
2t - 6 = 0
2t = 6
t = 3
t= 3
t=

and

Not factorable

t=-

Note that the square root method worked for this equation. Notice,
too, that it is an incomplete form of a quadratic equation where b = 0.
The checking is left for you to do.
Examples 5 and 6 showed you how the square root method works. It
works when
a.
b.

the given equation is written in the form (x p) = d


b = 0 in the equation ax + bx + c = 0.

Unless you are given specific instructions as to which method to use, you
are free to choose the method you find most efficient and effective.
Based on the examples, here is an outline for you in deciding which
method works in solving specific quadratic equations.

Outline for Solving Quadratic Equations


1. Simplify both sides of the equation as completely as possible and put the
equation into standard form.
2. Factor out any common factors and divide both sides of the equation by
any common numerical factor to eliminate it.
3. If an incomplete form of a quadratic equation results and:
a. if b = 0, then use the square root method.
b. if c = 0, then use the factoring method.
4. If the left-hand side of the equation can be factored, use the factoring
method.
5. If it looks too complicated to factor or it does not factor, then use the
quadratic formula.
6. Check the equation either by substituting it into the original equation or by
solving the equation using a different method.

Lesson 2
Solving Equations Reducible to Quadratic Equations

So far you have studied how to solve quadratic equations. You have also
learned to simplify equations that do not seem to be quadratic but with some
manipulations and simplifications, these equations turned out to be quadratics
after all.
A lot more equations can be reduced to quadratic equation and thus be
solved by any of the methods you have learned.
In this lesson, you will be working on fractional equations. These are
equations that included radicals and other equations that can be transformed into
quadratic equations.
Before attempting to proceed you must have prior knowledge working with
rational expressions and working with radicals. Otherwise, proceed to the next
lesson.
A. Rational Expressions whose solution Lead to Quadratic Equations:
Example 1. Solve
Solution:

3x

4
x 1 x 1

To solve this equation you should be able to get rid of the


denominator. To do this you must first find the LCM of the
denominators. Then multiply both sides by the LCM.

Note that if -1 is substituted for x in x + 1 and 1 in x 1 in the


denominator, the result is equal to zero. This is not allowed since division
by zero is undefined.

3x(x -1) + 2(x + 1) = 4(x + 1)(x -1) by distributive property


3x - 3x + 2x + 2 = 4(x - 1)
3x - 3x + 2x + 2 = 4x - 4
3x - 3x + 2x + 2 4x + 4 = 0

combine similar terms

-x - x + 6 = 0
x + x 6 = 0

multiply both sides by 1

(x + 3)(x-2) = 0

factor

x + 3 = 0 and x 2 = 0

Resulting answers may not actually be solutions of the given equation.
Solutions that do not satisfy the original equation are called EXTRANEOUS and
they must be discarded.

by distributive property

2x = 3x + 1 6x
Since the equation is quadratic, equate the right-hand side to 0.
6x - 3x 1 + 2x = 0
6x - x 1 = 0
(3x + 1)(2x 1) = 0

Therefore, the only solution is

B. Radical Equations that Lead to Quadratic Equations


Example 3. Solve for x:
Solution:

= 6 x

( x ) = (6 x)
x = 36 12x + x
x - 13x + 36 = 0
(x - 4)(x 9) = 0
x - 4 = 0 or x 9 = 0
x = 4 or x = 9

square both sides and expand


write in standard form
factor
by the zero product property

Check:
If x = 4

=6x

4 = 6 4

2=2
If x = 9

=6x

=69
3 = -3
9

9 is an extraneous solution. Therefore, 4 is the only solution.

12

Note that solving equations involving rational expressions, you need to


check the solutions obtained. This is because the solution that is obtained may
be true to the raised equation but not to the original equation.
Example 4. Solve for x:
Solution:

4x =

6x 1

Square both sides of the equation to get rid of the radical


sign, thus:
4x =

6x 1

(4x) = (

6 x 1 )

16x = 6x +1

simplify

16x - 6x 1 = 0

write in standard form

(8x + 1)(2x 1) = 0

C. Solving Equations that are Quadratic in Form
When an equation can be written in the form au + bu + c = 0 with u as an
algebraic expression, it is said to be quadratic in form and is solved by any of the
methods you have already learned.
Example 5. Solve for x:
Solution:

(x + 3) + 5 (x + 3) + 6 = 0

Because of the repeated quantity (x + 3), this equation is


quadratic in form with u = x + 3.
Write (x + 3) + 5 (x + 3) + 6 = 0
as

u + 5u + 6 = 0

let u = x + 3

(u + 3)(u + 2) = 0

factoring

u + 3 = 0 or u + 2 = 0

zero product property

u = -3 or

u = -2

Note that the equation is not yet solved since x is not yet known. To
find x, substitute x + 3 for u:
x+3 = -3
x = -6

or
or

x + 3 = -2
x = -5

Check:
If x = -6

(x + 3) + 5(x + 3) + 6 = 0
(-6 + 3) + 5(-6 + 3) + 6 = 0
(-3) + 5(-3) + 6 = 0
9 15 + 6 = 0
0=0

If x = -5

(x + 3) + 5(x + 3) + 6 = 0
(-5 + 3) + 5(-5 + 3) + 6 = 0
(-2) + 5(-2) + 6 = 0
4 10 + 6 = 0
0=0

14

The solutions check.


Example 6. Solve for y: y4 8y + 16 = 0
Solution:

Since (y) = y4 the equation can be written as


(y) - 8y + 16 = 0
So that u = y and thus,
u - 8u + 16 = 0
let u = y
(u 4) = 0

since u - 8u + 16 is a perfect square


u4=0
u=4

by the square root property

To solve for y, substitute y for u:


y = 4

by the square root property

y= 4
y = 2
Check:
If y = 2

y4 8y + 16 = 0
(2)4 8(2) + 16 = 0
16 8(4) + 16 = 0
16 32 + 16 = 0
0=0

If y = -2

y4 8y + 16 = 0
(-2)4 8(-2) + 16 = 0
16 8(4) + 16 = 0
16 32 + 16 = 0
0 =0

The solutions check.

Lesson 3
Solving Verbal Problems Involving Quadratic Equations
Since you have the ability to solve quadratic equations, you can now
proceed in solving verbal problems. Remember that when you are solving a
verbal problem, you do not know whether the resulting equation will be linear or
quadratic. Be sure to look carefully at the equation before deciding on the
method to use.
Example 1. The sum of a number and its reciprocal is
Solution:

29
. Find the number.
10

Translating the words in the problem:


1
= its reciprocal
x
29
The sum of a number and its reciprocal is
10

Let x = the number, then

Thus, the equation is

x+

10x (x +

1
29
) = 10x (
)
x
10

10x (x) + 10x (

1
29
) = 10x (
)
x
10

10x + 10x (

1
29
) = 10x (
)
x
10

10x + 10 = 29x

multiply both sides by the LCD

10x - 29x + 10 = 0

5x 2 = 0
x=

or

2x 5 = 0

or

Notice, that the two solutions are reciprocals of each other.


Check that both solutions satisfy the statement of the problem.
Example 2. The length of a rectangle is three less than twice the width and its
area is equal to 44 square centimeters. Find the dimensions of the
rectangle
Solution: Draw a diagram of the Rectangle and label the sides according
to the information in the problem
x

2x 3
The area of the rectangle is equal to its length times its width.
Therefore the equation is:
x (2x 3) = 44

multiply

2x - 3x 44 = 0

factor

(2x 11)(x + 4) = 0
2x 11 = 0

or

x+4=0

11

or

x = -4

x=

Since it makes no sense for the width of a rectangle to have a


negative dimension, reject the negative answer.
Thus, the answer to the problem is that the
Width =

11
cm.
2

and the length = 2(

11
) 3 = 11 3 = 8
2

Length = 8 cm.
Check to see that the area is equal to 44 square centimeters.

Example 3. Erica and Pauline are both driving to a tennis tournament 200 km
away. They both leave at the same time, but Erica arrives 1 hour
ahead of Pauline because she was driving 10 km per hour faster
than Pauline. Find the rate at which each drove to the tournament.
Solution: This is a motion problem that requires the formula, d=rt, where d is
the distance, r is the rate and t is the time. How is it used here? The
problem asks you to find out the rates at which they drove.
Let r = Paulines rate
Then r + 10 = Ericas rate (she was 10 kph faster)
The problem also tells you that Erica arrived 1 hour ahead of
Pauline, which means that (since they left at the same time). Ericas
driving was 1 hour less. Thus we have the following time
relationship;
t Erica = t Pauline 1
Use the fact that d = rt in the equivalent form of t =

d
, by
r

substituting into the time relationship:


d Erica = d Pauline - 1
r Erica

However, you know that both girls traveled the same distance,
which is 200 km. Having represented the rates, substitute these quantities
in the last equation.

r 10
r

multiply both sides of the


equation by the LCD: r(r + 10).

r r 10

200
200
( r )(r 10)
1( r )( r 10
r 10
r

200r = 200(r + 10) r(r + 10)


200r = 200r + 2000 r - 10r
r + 10r 2000 = 0
(r + 50)(r 40) = 0
r + 50 = 0

or

r 40 = 0

19

r = -50

or

r = 40

Since it makes no sense for rate to be negative, the answer to the


problem is that
r = 40
Thus, we have Paulines rate is 40 kph and Ericas rate is 50 kph.
The checking is left to you.
Sometimes a verbal problem involving quadratic equations involves
nothing more than substituting values into a given formula, as you will see in the
next example. Problems like this may seem worth discussing so that you will
know what to do and how to do them when you encounter them in the future.
Example 5

The profit in Pesos (P) on each TV set made daily by the Curray
television company is related to the number of TV sets produced (x)
at the Curray Factory according to the equation
P= -

5x 2
= 450x 16,250
2

What is the companys profit on each TV set if it produces sixty (60)


TV sets per day?
Solution: This example requires you to find P when x = 60. Therefore,
simply substitute x = 60 into the given equation and compute for P.
P=-

5x 2
+ 450x 16,250
2

P=-

5(60) 2
+ 450(60) 16,250
2

2
5(3600)
P=+ 27,000 16,250
2
P = -9000 + 27,000 16,250
P = P1750
The profit is P1750 per TV set.

Lets Summarize
1. Quadratic equations may be solved by any of the following methods:
Factoring Method
Square Root Method
Completing the Square Method
Quadratic Formula
2. The factoring method is easiest specifically when the left-hand side of
the equation ax + bx + c = 0 is factorable. It is also used when the
value of c = 0.
3. The square root method is most convenient to use when b = 0 or when
the equation is written in the form a(x p) + k = 0.
4. The quadratic formula can be used to any type of quadratic equation
although it is a little bit messy.
5. Some equations that can be transformed into quadratic equations are:
a. equations involving rational expressions.
Equations of this type may be solved by first clearing the
fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least
common denominator.
b. radical equations.
Equations of this type may be solved by first squaring both
sides of the equation.
c. equations quadratic in form.
Equations of this type may be solved by first taking a suitable
substitution.
It is best to always check the solutions of these equations. There may
be extraneous solutions that may arise while solving them.
