GUIDE CARD:
Good day! Now that we can solve all quadratic
equations we want to solve equations that are
not exactly quadratic but can either be made to
look quadratic or generate quadratic equations.
HOW???
We start with the former.

Are you ready??? First we will tackle

about equations NOT in standard form
and after that you’ve master that we will
try to transform Rational Equations.
Okay! Let’s start!!!

EXAMPLES:

“Solving Quadratic Equations NOT written in Standard Form”

1. Find the solution of x2 + 2x = -1

x2 + 2x = -1 Equation

x2 + 2x + 1 = 0 Write the above quadratic equation with right

side equal to 0.
(x + 1)2 = 0 Factor the equation.
x = -1 Solve the equation to obtain the repeated
solution.
2. Solve x(x-5)=36

x(x-5)=36 Equation

x(x-5)=36 x2 - 5x = 36 Simplify the expression

x2 - 5x = 36 x2 - 5x - 36 = 0 Write in standard form

Use any methods in solving quadratic

equations to find the solution
x2 - 5x - 36 = 0

x2 - 5x - 36 = 0 We use factoring
(x - 9) ( x + 4 ) = 0
x- 9 = 0 or x + 4 = 0
x=9 x = -4

x(x-5)=36 Check whether the obtained values of x

makes the equation x(x-5)=36 true.
If x=9 if x = -4
9(9-5) = 36 -4(-4-5) = 36
9(4) = 36 -4(-9) = 36
36 = 36 36 = 36

3. Find the roots of the equation (x+5)2 + (x-2)2 = 37

(x+5)2 + (x-2)2 = 37 Equation

(x+5)2 + (x-2)2 = 37 Simplify the expression and

combine like terms
x2 + 10x +25 + x2 - 4x + 4 = 37
2x2 + 6x + 29 = 37

2x2 + 6x + 29 = 37 2x2 + 6x + 29 - 37 = 37 - 37 Write in standard form

2x2 + 6x - 8 = 0

Use any methods in solving

quadratic equations to find the
2x2 + 6x - 8 = 0
solution

2x2 + 6x - 8 = 0 We use factoring

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

2x - 2 =0 x+4=0
 2x - 2 + 2 = 0 + 2 x+4-4=0-4
2x = 2 x = -4
x=1

(x+5)2 + (x-2)2 = 37 Check whether the obtained values of

x makes the equation x(x-5)=36 true.
Ifx=1 if x = -4
(1+5)2 + (1-2)2 = 37 (-4+5)2 + (-4-2)2 = 37
(6)2+(-1)2=37 (1)2 + (-6)2 = 37
36+1=37 1 + 36 = 37
37=37 37 = 37
