EXPLORE
When you were in Grade 8, you were able to talk about Linear Equations and
Functions. You found out how these concepts could be used to model and solve
real-life situations. In this section, you will be able to discover a new equation that
could also solve more real-life problems. In this section, you will not only be
introduced to the lesson but also be assessed on your initial ideas regarding the
topic. Be reminded to take each activity seriously. Make a conscious effort to
highlight the new concepts that you will be encountering.
Consider this (essential) question: What are the quadratic equations, inequalities,
and functions?
