Lesson APPLICATIONS OF QUADRATIC

1 EQUATIONS AND RATIONAL

ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS
Start Lesson 6 of this module by assessing your knowledge of the different mathematics
concepts previously studied and your skills in performing mathematical operations. These
knowledge and skills will help you in understanding quadratic equations. As you go through
this lesson, think of this important question: “How are quadratic equations used in solving
real-life problems and in making decisions? “ To find the answer, perform each activity. If
you find any difficulty in answering the exercises, seek the assistance of your older sibling/s
or refer to another book reference and go over to the page where the topic is being discussed.

What’s In

Activity 6.1 Directions: Solve each of the following quadratic equations.

1. x (2x – 5) = 0 6. (3m + 3)(m – 5) = 0

2. 2t ( t – 7) = 0 7. k2 – 4k – 45 = 0
 3. 8x ( 2x + 1) = 0 8. 2t2 – 7t – 49 = 0

4. (r + 5)(r + 13) = 0 9. 3w2 – 12w = -9

5. (h – 9)(h – 10) = 0 10. 4u2 + 4u = 8

What’s New

Example 1. Use the situation below to answer the questions that follow.

The length of a rectangular floor plan is 5m longer than its width. The area of
the floor is 84m2.
Questions:
1. What expression represents the width of the floor? How about the expression that
represents its length?
 The expression that represents the width of the floor is “w”.
 The expression that represents the length of the floor is “w + 5” since the length is 5m
longer than the width.
2. Formulate an equation relating the width, length, and the area of the floor.
 Area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and width.
A=LxW
84 = (w + 5)(w)
84 = w2 + 5w
w2 + 5w – 84 = 0
3. How would you describe the equation formulated?
 It is a quadratic equation.
4. Using the equation, how will you determine the length and width of the floor?
 We can determine the length and width of the floor by solving the quadratic equation
either through factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula.
5. What is the width of the floor? How about its length?
 By Factoring:
w2 + 5w – 84 = 0 Consider the positive value since there is
(w + 12)(w – 7) = 0 no negative value for the measurement of length.
w + 12 = 0 w–7=0
w = -12 w=7
Checking:
L=w+5 A=lxw
=7+5 84 = l2 x 7
l = 12 84 = 84 (Check)
 By Completing the Square:
w2 + 5w – 84 = 0

w2 + 5w = 84

w2 + 5w + = 84 +

(w + )2 =

(w + ) = √

w+ =
 w= - W=-
w= or 7 w = or -12
w=7 w = -12

√
 By Using Quadratic Formula
w2 + 5w – 84 = 0 a=1 b=5 c = -84

Have you noticed that they arrived at the same answer? You may choose one among
the methods above to solve the quadratic equation.

The width of the floor is 7m and the length is 12m.

What is It

The concept of quadratic equations is illustrated in many real – life

situations. Problems that arise from these situations, such as those involving
area, work, profits, and many others, can be solved by applying the different
mathematics concepts and principles previously studied including quadratic
equations and the different ways of solving them.
Example 1: One number is the square of another number. Their sum is 132. Find the
numbers.

Let A and B be the numbers. The first sentence says one is the square of the other, so
A = B2
Their sum is 132, so

A + B = 132
Plug A = B2 into A + B = 132 and solve for B:
B2 + B = 132

B2 + B – 132 = 0

Solving by Factoring:
B2 + B – 132 = 0
(B – 11)(B + 12) = 0

B – 11 = 0 B + 12 = 0
B = 11 B = -12
The possible solutions are B = 11 and B = -12,

If B = 11, then A = B2 = (11)2 = 121.

If B = -12, then A = B2 = (-12)2 = 144.

Two pairs of answers: (11 and 121), and (-12 and 144).
Example 2: The area of a rectangle is 560 in2. The length is 3 more than twice the
width. Find the length and the width.

Let L be with the length and let W be the width. The length is 3 more than twice the width, so
L = 2W + 3
The area is 560, so

LW = A
LW = 560
Plug in L = 2W + 3 and solve for W:

LW = 560
(2W + 3)(W) = 560
 2W2 + 3W = 560
2W2 + 3W – 560 = 0
√
 By Using Quadratic Formula
2W2 + 3W – 560 = 0 a=2 b=3 c = -560

Since the width can’t be negative, we get W =

16.

The length is

= 2W + 3
= 2(16) + 3
= 32 + 3
L = 35

The width of a rectangle is 16 in and the length is 35 in.

Example 3: Rizza and Cindy can eat 1260 hamburgers in 12 hours. Eating by herself, it
would take Rizza 7 hours longer to eat 1260 hamburgers than it would take Cindy to eat 1260
hamburgers. How long would it take Cindy to eat 1260 hamburgers by herself?
Let R be Rizza’s rate, in hamburgers per hour. Let C be Cindy’s rate, in hamburgers per hour.

Hours · Burgers per hour = Burgers

Rizza t+7 · R = 1260
Cindy t · C = 1260
Together 12 · R+C = 1260
The last equation gives
12( R + C ) = 1260

R + C = 105
R = 105 – C
The second equation gives

t · C = 1260

C=

Plug C = into R = 105 – B:

R = 105 -

Plug R = 105 - into first equation (t + 7)c = 1260 and solve for t:

( )

( )

105t2 – 1260t + 735t – 8820 = 1260t

105t2 – 1785t – 8820 = 0
t2 – 17t – 84 = 0
By Factoring,
t2 – 17t – 84 = 0

(t – 21)(t + 4) = 0
t – 21 = 0 t+4=0
t = 21 t = -4

Since time can’t be negative. The solution is 21.

Cindy takes 21 hours, and Rizza takes 21 + 7 = 28 hours.
Example 4: A rectangle table has an area of 27ft2 and a perimeter of 24ft. What are the
dimensions of the table?

Let L be with the length and let W be the width. The area (A = lw) of the rectangular table is
27ft2 and the perimeter (P = 2l + 2w). So,
l · w = 27ft2

2l + 2w = 24ft Divide both sides of the equation by 2 since all

terms are divisible by 2.
Let l + w = 12 be l = 12 – w
Plug in the value of l = 12 - w in ( l)(w) = 27ft2
(l)(w) = 27ft2
(12 - w)(w) = 27ft2
(12w – w2) = 27ft2
0 = 27ft2 – 12w + w2
w2 – 12w + 27ft2 = 0
By factoring,
(w – 9)(w – 3) = 0
(w – 9) = 0 (w – 3) = 0
w–9=0 w–3=0
w=9 w=3
Both are solutions to the quadratic equation. But we only have to consider one value
for the width and the other value is the length.
By inspection :
l x w = ( 9) x (3) = 27
2l + 2w = 2(9) + 2(3) = 24 or l + w = (9) + (3) = 12

Answer: Length = 9ft, width = 3ft

Note: You may also use the method of completing the square and using the quadratic
formula in dealing with quadratic equations.
