I. TOPIC: Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

II. OBJECTIVES:

After the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

1. solve quadratic equations by factoring;

2. determine the method that is appropriate to use in solving quadratic equations.

III. PROCEDURE:

I. ACTIVITY:

Activity 1: What made me?

Directions: Factor each of the following polynomials.

1. 2x2 – 8x 6. x2 – 10x + 21
2. -3s2 + 9s 7. x2 + 5x - 6
3. 4x + 20x2 8. 4r2 + 20r + 25
4. 5t – 10t2 9. 9t2 - 4
5. s2 + 8s + 12 10. 2x2 + 3x - 14

II. ANALYSIS:

Ask the students to answer the following questions.

1. How did you factor each polynomial?

2. What factoring technique did you use to come up with the factors of each polynomial?
Explain how you used this technique.
3. How would you know if the factors you got are the correct one?
4. Which of the following polynomials did you fins difficult to factor? Why?

III. ABSTRACTION:

 Some quadratic equations can be solved easily by factoring. To solve such

quadratic equations, the following procedures can be followed.
1. Transform the quadratic equation into standard form if necessary.
2. Factor the quadratic expression.
3. Apply the zero product property by setting each factor of the quadratic
expression equal to 0.
 “ Zero Product Property – if the product of two real numbers is 0, then either
of the two is equal to zero or both numbers are equal to zero “
4. Solve each resulting equation.
5. Check the values of the variable obtained by substituting each in the original
equation.

Example 1 : find the solutions of x2 + 9x = -8 by factoring.

a. Transform the equation into standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0.

x2 + 9x = -8 x2 + 9x + 8 = 0
b. Factor the quadratic expression x2 + 9x + 8.
x2 + 9x + 8 (x+1)(x+8)
c. Apply the zero product property by setting each factor of the quadratic
expression equal to 0.
( x + 1 )( x + 8 ) x+1=0;x+8=0
d. Solve each resulting equation.
x+1=0 x = -1
x+8=0 x = -8
e. Check the values of the variable obtained by substituting each in the equation
x2 + 9x = -8.

Example 2 : Solve the equation 9x2 – 4 = 0 .

IV. APPLICATION:

A. Direction: Solve the following quadratic equations by factoring.

1. x2 + 7 = 0 6. x2 – 14 = 5x
2. 6s2 + 18s = 0 7. 11r + 15 = -2r2
3. t2 + 8t + 16 = 0 8. x2 – 25 = 0
4. x – 10x + 25 = 0

9. 81 – 4x2 = 0
5. h2 + 6h = 16 10. 4s2 + 9 = 12s
