Quadratic Equation and Its Solutions: Examples

1) The quadratic equation is an equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0. Its graph is a parabola. Examples of quadratic, linear, and neither equations are given. 2) Methods for solving quadratic equations include extracting square roots, factoring, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula. Factoring methods include common monomial factoring, perfect squaring trinomials, and general trinomial factoring. 3) An example problem demonstrates extracting square roots to solve quadratic equations. The key steps are taking the square root of both sides, and considering both positive and negative solutions.

Quadratic Equation and Its Solutions

The equation for perimeter represents a linear equation since the highest exponent or degree of x is 1, while
for the area, the highest exponent/degree is 2, it is called quadratic equation. The standard form of a
quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a, b, and c are any real numbers and a ≠ 0. Its graph is called
parabola.
Examples:
Linear Equation Quadratic Equation Neither
2x + 5 = 0 x2 – 4x + 3 = 0 x4 – 3x – 5 = 0
3m – 5 = m + 1 m(m – 6) = 0 m(m2 – 2m +8) = 0
(n-2)2 = n2 + 3 n3 + (n – 1)2 = n3 n2 + 4 = n 3 – 5

Factoring Quadratic Trinomials:


>Common Monomial Factor (CMF) : 3m2 – 3m = 3m(m – 1)
>Perfect Square Trinomial (PST) : 4x2 – 20x + 25 = (2x – 5)2
>General Trinomial where a = 1 : y2 – y – 12 = (y – 4)(y + 3)
>General Trinomial where a ≠ 1 : 2z2 + 5z + 3 = (z+1)(2z+3)

Lesson 1 (pg. 11-18): Illustrations of Quadratic Equations in One Variable:


1.) 5x2 + 3x = 7
2
5x + 3x – 7 = 0
a = 5, b = 3, and c = -7
2.) 2x2 = -8x
2x2 + 8x = 0
a = 2, b = 8, and c = 0
3.) 2x4 + 6x2 + 2 = 0 (as you can see, four is the highest exponent and it is reducible)
Let u be x2 (u = x2)
2u2 + 6u + 2 = 0
Now, it is already called Reducible Quadratic Equation because the largest exponent is 2

In an equation, the additive property of equality states that if we add or subtract the same number to
both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal.
In mathematics, the additive inverse of a number “a” is the number that, when added to “a”, yields zero.
This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change, and negation. For a real number, it
reverses its sign: the opposite to a positive number is negative, and the opposite to a negative number is
positive.
Quadratic Equation and Its Solutions

*Extracting Square Roots


1.) x2 – 25 = 0 Square Root Property
x2 = 25 If x2 = n, and n > 0, then x = √ n or x = -√ n.
√x² = √25 (#1) Solutions: x = 5 or x = -5
x = ±5
2.) t2 = 0 (Since t = 0 is the square root, then the equation has only one solution. (#2) Solutions: t = 0
3.) s2 + 9 = 0
s = -9 (Since -9 is less than 0, then the equation s2 = -9 has no real solutions or roots. There is no real
2

number when squared gives - 9.)


(#3) Solutions: None
4.) (x – 4)2 – 25 = 0
(x – 4)2 = 25
√(x−4)2
