Quadratic Equations: A Comprehensive Module for Grade 9

• 3x^2 + 2x = 9

  • Standard Form: 3x^2 + 2x – 9 = 0 with a = 3, b = 2, and c = −9

• b. (x − 5) (2x + 3) = 7

  • Simplify: 2x^2 – 7x – 15 = 7 → 2x^2 – 7x – 8 = 0 with a = 2, b = −7, and c = −8

• c. 2x^2 – 15 = 2(x^2 + 7x)

  • Simplify: 2x^2 – 15 = 2x^2 + 14x → −14x – 15 = 0. This is a linear equation, not quadratic.

Check Your Understanding

• Complete the table (not provided in text but implied) to practice identifying a, b, and c in quadratic equations.

Examples for the Table:

• x ( 2x – 7) = 0 → 2x^2 – 7x = 0 (a = 2, b = -7, c = 0)

• (x + 5)( x + 9) = 20

• (2x – 1)( x + 3) = -2x

• (x + 6)^2 = 12x

• (5x + 4) (5x – 4) = 0

• (3x – 8)(x + 2) = 2x^2

Example 2: Representing Situations with Quadratic Equations

• Represent each situation using a quadratic equation.

Examples:

• a. A rectangular prism has a height of 3 m. Its length is three times its width. The volume of the prism is 18 m^3.

  • Let w = width, 3w = length

  • Volume: V = lwh → 18 = (3w)(w)(3) → 18 = 9w^2 → 9w^2 – 18 = 0

• b. Jody wants each window to have an area of 315 cm^2, and the length to be 6 cm more than the width.

  • Let x = width, x + 6 = length

  • Area: A = lw → 315 = x(x+6) → x^2 + 6x – 315 = 0

• c. The product of two numbers is 48 and their sum is 16.

  • Let x be the 1st number, 16 − x be the 2nd number

  • x(16 − x) = 48 → 16x − x^2 = 48 → −x^2 + 16x − 48 = 0

• d. The product of two consecutive even integers is 288.

  • Let x be the 1st even number, x + 2 be the 2nd even number

  • x(x + 2) = 288 → x^2 + 2x = 288 → x^2 + 2x − 288 = 0
