ACTIVITY 1
Illustrates Me!
Learning Competency 1: Illustrates quadratic equations.
(M9AL-Ia-1).

What I Need to Do
The learning concept or learning target to be achieved in this activity is
to recognize and classify quadratic equations. You just need to identify which
of the equations are quadratic and which are not. In this manner, you can
already distinguish the quadratic and linear equations.

Quadratic equation in one variable is a mathematical sentence of degree 2

that can be written in the following standard form
ax2 + bx +c = 0 where a, b, and c are real numbers and a  0.

Here are the following examples for you to be guided in this activity:
Directions: Identify which of the following equations are quadratic and
which are not. If the equation is not quadratic, explain why.

Here are the following examples for you to be guided in this activity:
Directions: Write each quadratic equation in standard form,
ax2 + bx + c = 0 then identify the values of a, b, and c.

GIVEN STANDARD FORM a B c

1. 𝑥 2 − 7x = −4 𝑥 2 − 7x + 4 = −4 + 4 (Add 4 to both
sides of the equation)
𝒙𝟐 − 𝟕𝐱 + 𝟒 = 𝟎
1 −7 4
2. 3𝑥(𝑥 − 2) = 10 3𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 = 10
3𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + (−10) = 10 + (−10) (Add
–10 to both sides of the equation 3 −6 −10
𝟑𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝐱 − 𝟏𝟎 = 𝟎
3. (2𝑥 + 5)(𝑥 − 1) = −6 2𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 5𝑥 − 5 = −6 (by FOIL Method)
2𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 5 + 6 = −6 + 6 (Add 6 to
both sides of the equation) 2 3 1
𝟐𝒙𝟐 + 𝟑𝐱 + 𝟏 = 𝟎
4. 4𝑥 2 = 20 4𝑥 2 + (−20) = 20 + (−20) (Add -20
to both sides of the equation) 4 0 −20
𝟒𝒙𝟐 − 𝟐𝟎 = 𝟎
5. 2𝑥(𝑥 + 4) = (𝑥 − 3)2 2𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 = 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 9
2𝑥 2 − 𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 + 6𝑥 − 9 = 0 (Add –
(𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 9) to both sides of the 1 14 −9
equation)
𝒙𝟐 + 𝟏𝟒𝒙 − 𝟗 = 𝟎

Directions: Write each quadratic equation in standard form,

ax2 + bx + c = 0 then identify the values of a, b, and c.

GIVEN STANDARD FORM A B c

1. 4𝑥 − 11x = 7
2. 5𝑥 2 = 3𝑥
3. (x + 3) (x − 2) = 1
4. (x - 7)2 + 3 = 0
5. (y + 1)2 = −2(y - 4)2
 In the standard form ax2 + bx + c = 0, 𝒂𝒙𝟐 is the quadratic term, 𝒃𝒙 is
the linear term, and 𝒄 is the constant term where, 𝒂, 𝒃, and 𝒄 are the
numerical coefficients. In writing quadratic equations into its standard
form, apply mathematics concepts or principles like by using addition
property of equality. Also, in identifying the values of 𝒂, 𝒃, and 𝒄 of the given
quadratic

 What I Need to Remember

The goal of this activity is to apply the key concepts of quadratic equations.
In recognizing and classifying quadratic equations, always remember that the
highest degree of the variable of these equations is 2. Thus, if you have familiarized
those equations then, you can also identify the situations that illustrate quadratic
equations and represent them by mathematical statements.
