Written Work # 1
Quarter 1– Week 1
II. FACT OR BLUFF. Write FACT if the equation is quadratic and BLUFF if not.
III. COMPLETE THE TABLE. Write each quadratic equation in standard form,
2
a x +bx +c=0 then identify the values of a , b and c .
Standard Form
No. Equation 2 a b c
a x +bx +¿ 0
Ex. (x +2)(x – 6)=0 2
x – 4 x – 12=0 1 -4 -12
2
1 3 x+ 3 x =7
2
2 5+2 x =6 x
3 (x +3)(x+ 4)=0
4 (2 x+ 7)( x+1)=0

IV. MATCHING TYPE. Find the solutions of the following quadratic equations by
matching column A with B. Correct roots will also reveal the famous attraction
of the cities or provinces.
COLUMN A COLUMN B
____ 1. Tagaytay A. Wright Park
x2 = 64 x=± 3 √ 2
____ 2. Pangasinan B. Bangui Windmill
x2 – 121 = 0 x=14 , x=– 6
____ 3. Baguio C. Picnic Grove
x2 – 18 = 0 x=± 8
____ 4. Ilocos D. Magellan’s Cross
(x – 4)2 = 100 x=6 , x=−18
____ 5. Cebu E. Hundred Island
(x + 6)2 = 144 x=± 11
V. DECODING. Find the solution set and write its corresponding letter on top of
the given answer in the boxes below to solve the puzzle. You may use either
extracting the square roots or factoring in solving the quadratic equations.
(Show your solution)
N T C
x2– 225 = 0 x2 +4x–21 =0 (3x +5) (x +1) = 0
P E A
(x+4) (x -6) =0 x2 + 4x + 1=0 x2 – 3x = 10
I O M
2x2 + 9x – 5 = 0 4x2 – 100 = 0 x2 – 5x + 6= 0
1. Show that the equation ( x−4 )2=9can be solved both by factoring and
extracting square roots.
2. Patricia says that it’s more appropriate to use the method of factoring
than extracting square roots in solving the quadratic equation 4 x 2−9=0.
Do you agree with Patricia? Explain your answer.
