During the introduction question learners to explain how they go about solving equation involving the difference of twoo squares. In doing this we are making them to observe how does a binomial expression is trawnsformed to take roots leaving it form of y = ax 2 + bx + c. Learners must explain how they move from x2- 16 to (x-4) ( x+4) or from (x 2-3x + 9) to ( x-3) (x-3). Therefore this serve as a point to make learners recall factors of common algebraic expressioons. In fact learners are expected to describe quadratic equation with respect to ax 2 + bx + c , in which a is a co-efficient of x 2 , b is cooffiecient of x and c is a point in which a graph of y = ax 2 + bx + c – crosses the y- axis. Other books call c – as y-inteercpt. And then the entire equation of f(x) = y = ax 2 + bx + c is a an expression of a parabola. In a straight line graph os a linear function where y = mx+ b , b is till representing c , because it is a y-intercept.

Development : It is time to demosntrate quadratic equation of y = ax2 + bx + c. Learners must be able to identify the value of a, b, c across different expressions that appear as quadratic equations. For that reason they


must begin to learn how to complete a aquare of a quadratic equations . Following then few examples are given as their exercise . Thearfter more advanced applications of quadratic equations are going to be given. Complete a square of quadratic equation. Step 1: Generally y = ax2 + bx + c. Let y= f(x) = 0

∴ ax2 + bx + c = 0 Step 2 divide the entire expression by 2

then multiply the entire combination as (

The rules says you ignore any number that may appear with a quadratic equation as long as you would be able to apply a square from both sides of an equation ( quadratic equation ). But one can ask ,what is ging to happen with the root c , which has alwas been there . Th answer is simpler , you need to simple push it to the RHS of an equation . It up to you when , how you push it . NB when you half or apply half to the b – the coefficient of x – you need to know that it is quoted withthout intact / directly contacting the sets st centre . So you shoukd make quotes


aside and then complete a square as (1/2 of B) 2 full stop . You apply the (1/2 of B) 2 to both sides of equation , without having to touch the value of c or b in real equation . In other words you are dealing with different kind of factorisation where you must be able to move from polynomial expression to difference of two squares.

prepare the value of B aside a, which is not different with how you deal with completion of difference of two squares. Correct and accurate completion of square will rely upon how you tossed

b x into [ B ] 2. The word a

explain in which way ( hint f(x) = x 2 + 5x + 3. ( quotent and reminder theorem ) Solution : Given f(x) = x2 + 5x + 3. Let y = f(x) = 0 ∴ 0=¿ x2 + 5x + 3. x2 + 5x +3 = 0 change LHS int RHS and vice versa. For f(x ) = ax2 + bx + c. in the above euation , a = 1, b = 5 and c = 3. Rule is take

The next step is to factories x2 + 5x, which is to complete a square of ax2 + bx. You have a mirror of x2-y2 which is a difference of two (2) squares where (x-y) ( x+y) .

Same thing goes with x2 – 3x + 9, where x2 – 3x + 9 = (x-3) (x-3) = (x-3)2 . Similarly : x2 + 5x + (

Assessement: Textbooks exmples are given. ( feedback will follow after their completion of task , exemining how they applied their independent knowledge – through sharing ideas and developing their own ideas).

Solution :Planned questions :


1) 2) 3) 4)

What is difference of two squares ( hint x2 – y2). What does completion of square in the quadratic equation entails. What is addictive inverse and what is subtractive inverse – illustrate Describe where could one expect to use quadratic equations , where posible draw a

function using geogebra or grid pattern 5) What is discrimination and how does it work ?

Consolidation and Conclusion : For most people , they felt quadratic equatiom is used to solve equation of a bionomial whose roots cannot be factorised completely. The converse is true , however the square completion has muptipurpose application. You can use completion of square for devicing a mthod used to determine the nature of roots where discriminant is given by discriminant of D = b2 – 4ac. This is often use for determining nature of roots the quadratic equation has. Note: b 2 – 4ac comes from the quadratic formula.
