What is It

There are equations that are transformable into quadratic equations. These equations
may be given in different forms. Hence, the procedures in transforming these equations into
quadratic equations may also be different.
Once the equations are transformed into quadratic equations, then they can be
solved using the techniques learned in previous lessons. The different methods of solving
quadratic equations, such as extracting square roots, factoring, completing the square, and
using the quadratic formula, can be used to solve these transformed equations.
Solving Quadratic Equations That are Not Written in Standard Form

Example 1: Solve x( x- 5) = 26
Solutions:
This is a quadratic equation that is not written in standard form.
Step 1: To write the quadratic equation in standard form, simplify the expression x(x-
5).
x (x-5) = 36 → x2 – 5x = 36
Write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form.
x2 – 5x = 36 → x2 – 5x – 36 = 0

2
 Step 2: Use any of the four methods of solving quadratic equations in finding
solutions of the equation x2 – 5x – 36 = 0 ( try factoring the roots of the equation.
x2 – 5x – 36 = 0 → ( x- 9 ) ( x + 4 ) = 0
x – 9= 0 or x + 4 = 0
x = 9 or x = - 4
Step 3: Check whether the obtained values of x make the equation
x (x -5) = 36 true. If the obtained values of x make the equation x (x -5) = 36 true, then the
solutions of the equation are x= 9 or x= -4

Solving Rational Algebraic Equations Transformable into Quadratic

Equations

Example 1: Solve the rational algebraic equation + =2
X 4
The given rational algebraic equation can be transformed into a quadratic
equation. To solve the equation, the following procedure can be followed:
a. Multiply both sides of the equation by the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of all
denominators. In the given equation, the LCM is 4x.

=4 x (2))
24 + x2 – 3x = 8x
b. Write the resulting quadratic equation in standard form.
24 + x2 – 3x= 8x →11x + 24 = 0
c. Find the roots of the resulting equation of the methods of solving quadratic
equations. Try factoring in finding the roots of the equation.
x2 – 11x + 24 = 0 → ( x- 3 ) ( x – 8) = 0
x – 3 = 0 or x – 8 = 0
x = 3 or x = 8
6 x −3
Check whether the obtained values of x make the equation + =2 true.
x 4
6 x −3
If the obtained values of x make the equation + =2 true, then the solutions of
x 4
the equation are: x = 3 or x = 8.

WEEKLY PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT

1. My Weekly Goal Record. This is a record of your positive, realistic goals at the
beginning of the week. By the end of the week, you will evaluate completion or non-
completion of the goals you set.
You may organize it this way:
Name: ____________________________________ Grade & Section ____________ Subject: ___________
PLANS Date: ___________________

During this week, I plan to achieve

_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Note: There is no limit as to how many plans you wish to set for the week. The objectives reflected in the
“What I Need to Know” of the exemplar could help you conceptualize your plans. Remember: Do not proceed
with the exemplar unless you have listed your goals.
ACHIEVEMENTS Date: _____________________

During the week, I achieved

Note: This should be done when you are through with the exemplar, ideally at the end of the week.

2. My Test Self-Evaluation. This is a reflection of your performance in the summative assessments (“What I
Have Learned”). This will reflect your honest accomplishment of the assessment. Choose one (1) from among
the summative tests in the different exemplars and paste the test paper in your portfolio for the test self-
evaluation. Be guided with the following questions:

3. The Pondering Me. This is a summary on what you have learned for the week. You write
this in ESSAY form, sharing your reflections and even the misconceptions that you have
uncovered and learned as you went through the exemplar.

4. My Best Test. This is a test that shows your best efforts for the week. You may choose
from either the formative assessments (What I Can Do 1, 2 & 3) or summative
assessments (What I Have Learned) and paste your test result on a page in your
portfolio. You may add art elements (e.g. emojis or emoticons) to reflect your feelings
about the test.

 5. My Creative Connection. This is an opportunity for you to share your creative or
analytical side. It may be in any form (poem, comic strip, poster, game, puzzle, etc) as
long as it is YOUR work and related to the lessons for the week.

Rubric for Portfolio Assessment. Aside from acting as your guide in portfolio completion, you also
need to put the rubric for portfolio assessment. Please see the table on the next page. You can also
find it in the exemplar.
Final Note: You are given the freedom of creativity in packaging your portfolio. You can have
scrapbook style, an album with a touch of recycling and reuse, etc. for as long as all the elements
required of you by the portfolio are present.
