A. Elicit
The teacher will group the students into six groups. After grouping, the teacher will give an activity
to recall on how to find the roots of a quadratic equation. The teacher will let the students find the roots
of the given quadratic equations in 3 methods.

Activity: Give Me My Roots! (5minutes)

Given a quadratic equation x2 – x – 6 =0, find the roots.
• Group 1 and 4 - Factoring
• Group 2 and 5 - Completing the Square
• Group 3 and 6 - Quadratic Formula
(The teacher will assess the result of each group. The teacher will acknowledge the output of each
group.)

b. Engage

The teacher will show another problem on the screen. And ask if they know how to answer the
problem.
Find an equation of a quadratic function whose zeros are -3 and 2.

ANSWER
Solution:
Since the zeros are r1 = -3 and r2= 2, then
f(x) = a(x – r1) (x – r2)
f(x) = a[x – (-3)](x – 2)
f(x) = a(x + 3)(x – 2 )
f(x) = a(x2+ x – 6) where a is any nonzero constant

c. Explore

The teacher will group the students and give them problem to answer for 5 minutes. After the 5
minutes the group are going to report what they have discussed within their group. The teacher will
then assess the output of each group.
Find one equation for each of the quadratic function given its zeros.
1. 3, 2

ANSWER
1. r1 = 3 and r2= 2,
f(x) = a(x – r1) (x – r2)
f(x) = a(x – 3)(x – 2)
f(x) = a(x2-2x-3x +6)
f(x) = a(x2-5x+6)

d. Explain
 The teacher will let the students explain their answers. And ask the following
questions:
 How did you get the answer?
 What are the steps on solving the given problem?

e. Elaboration

If r1 and r2 are the zeros of a quadratic function then f(x) = a(x – r1) (x – r2) where a is a nonzero
constant that can be determined from other point on the graph.
Example 1: Find an equation of a quadratic function whose zeros are -3 and 2.
Solution:
Since the zeros are r1 = -3 and r2= 2, then
f(x) = a(x – r1) (x – r2)
f(x) = a[x – (-3)](x – 2)
f(x) = a(x + 3)(x – 2 )
f(x) = a(x2+ x – 6) where a is any nonzero constant.

Example 2: Find an equation of a quadratic function with zeroes .
3

Solution:
A quadratic expression with irrational roots cannot be written as a product of linear factors with
3± 2
rational coefficients. In this case, we can use another method. Since the zeroes are then,

3± 2
x= 3
3x = 3 ± 2
3x – 3 = ± 2
Square both sides of the equation and simplify. We get
9x2 – 18x + 9 = 2
9x2 – 18x + 7 = 0
Thus, an equation of a quadratic function is f(x) = 9x2 -18x +7.

IV. Evaluation

ANSWER
1. r1 = -5 and r2= 7
f(x) = a(x – r1) (x – r2)
f(x) = a 𝑟 − −5 (x – 7)
f(x) = a(x +5) (x – 7)
f(x) = a(𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 + 5𝑥 − 35
f(x) = a(𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 35
f(x) = (𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 35

Each quadratic function has a corresponding letter. Similarly, each box with the zeros of the quadratic
function inside has a corresponding blank below. Write the indicated letter of the quadratic function on
the corresponding blank below the box containing the zeros of the function to get the hidden message.
