‘The Why and How of Open Education - With lessons from the openSE and openED ...Andreas Meiszner
The Collaborative Creativity Group CCG at UNU-MERIT Book just released a book on ‘The Why and How of Open Education’. The book is an introduction to Open Education (OE), giving practical guidance on the design and delivery of OE courses while wrestling with theoretical considerations of this new and emerging domain. Educators are the main targets, but it will also be relevant to policy makers, senior education managers and the learning industry as a whole.
The book draws from three sources: first from well-established online learning ecosystems, including Open Source Software communities; second from existing Open Courses in traditional formal education and related design models such as the Meta-design framework (Fischer, 2007); and third from EU funded research and pilot projects: FLOSSCom (2006-2008), openSE (2009-2011) and openED (2009-2012). This piloting work enabled a thorough analysis and modification of assumptions that emerged from sources one and two.
The first chapter provides a brief introduction to the OE field, addressing the question: ‘Why Open Education?’. The second chapter presents cases from the openSE and openED projects on how OE might look in practice. Sustainability is as important for OE as for traditional formal education, so before joining any kind of OE venture it is important to have a clear understanding of how such a venture might be sustained, as discussed in chapter three. Theoretical considerations and practical guidance for the design and delivery of OE are presented in chapter four, ahead of concluding remarks and future prospects in the fifth and final chapter.
This ‘Version 1.0’ of the book is released together with the start of the openED course on ‘Business and Management Competencies in a Web 2.0 world’, whose second edition begins on 26 April 2011. It is also published in parallel with the re-launch of the openSE website, which is an OE framework for computer science software engineering.
A ‘Version 2.0’, with more in-depth findings from the openSE and openED projects and general improvements, is tentatively scheduled for summer 2012. Anyone interested in co-authoring this ‘Version 2.0’, be it with minor improvements or major extensions, are invited to read the editable version of this book at the following link and to correct minor mistakes ‘on the fly’!

9. A quadratic equation is a second-order polynomial equation in a single variable x.
The general form is where x represents a variable, and a, b, and c, represent coefficients
and constants, with a ≠ 0. (If a = 0, the equation becomes a linear equation.)
Among his many other talents, Major General Stanley in Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta the Pirates of Penzance
impresses the pirates with his knowledge of quadratic equations in "The Major General's Song" as follows: "I am the very
model of a modern Major-General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral, I know the kings of England, and I
quote the fights historical, From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical; I'm very well acquainted too with matters
mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratic, About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o'
news-- With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse."
The constants a, b, and c, are called respectively, the quadratic coefficient, the linear coefficient and the constant
term or free term. Quadratic comes from quadratus, which is the Latin word for "square." Quadratic equations can be
solved by factoring, completing the square, graphing, Newton's method, and using the quadratic formula. One common
use of quadratic equations is computing trajectories in projectile motion.
This module centers on the different ways of solving the quadratic equation by factoring, by finding square
roots, by completing the square, and by using the quadratic formula. Students are given guides to determine the most
appropriate method to use. Identifying the disciminant of the quadratic equation and finding the relationship between the
coefficient and the root of the quadratic equation are also discussed.

1 Identifying the quadratic
equation
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•define the quadratic equation;
•discuss real numbers in quadratic equation; and
•improve writing the standard form of the quadratic equation.
Polynomials are classified according to the highest power of its variable. A first degree polynomial, like 2x +
5 is linear; a second degree polynomial, like x2
+ 2 – 3 is quadratic; a third degree polynomial, like x3
+ 4x2
– 3x + 12
is cubic.
Similarly, equation and inequalities are classified according to the highest power of its variable. An equation
in the variable x whose highest power is two is called a quadratic equation. Some examples are x2
– 64, 4n2
= 25,
3x2
– 4x + 1 = 0.
An equation of the form ax2
+ bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are constant and a not equal to 0, a id a
quadratic equation. to 0, a id a quadratic equation.
Any quadratic equation can be written in the form ax2
+ bx + c = 0. This is also called the standard
form of the quadratic equation. Here, a, b and c are real numbers and a cannot be 0.
Example A. Express x2
= 8x in standard form
x2
= 8x can be written as x2
- 8x = 0

on 2Defining Complex
NumbersOBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•identify complex numbers;
•differentiate the real number and standard imaginary unit; and
•extend the ordinary real number.
A complex number, in mathematics, is a number comprising a real number and an imaginary number; it can
be written in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is the standard imaginary unit, having the
property that i2
= −1. The complex numbers contain the ordinary real numbers, but extend them by adding in extra
numbers and correspondingly expanding the understanding of addition and multiplication.
Equation 1: x2
- 1 = 0.
Equation 1 has two solutions, x = -1 and x = 1. We know that solving an equation in x is equivalent to finding
the x-intercepts of a graph; and, the graph of y = x2
- 1 crosses the x-axis at (-1,0) and (1,0).
nextbackcontents
21. Equation 2: x2
+ 1 = 0
Equation 2 has no solutions, and we can see this by looking at the graph of y = x2
+
1.
Since the graph has no x-intercepts, the equation has no solutions. When we define complex numbers,
equation 2 will have two solutions.

on 3The
Number i
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•recognize the property of the number i;
•discuss the powers of i; and
•solve the high powers of imaginary unit.
Equation 1 Equation 2
x2
- 1 = 0. x2
+ 1 = 0.
x2
= 1. x2
= -1.
Consider Equations 1 and 2 again.
Equation 1 has solutions because the number 1 has two square roots, 1 and -1. Equation 2 has no solutions
because -1 does not have a square root. In other words, there is no number such that if we multiply it by itself we get
-1. If Equation 2 is to be given solutions, then we must create a square root of -1.
The imaginary unit i is defined by
The definition of i tells us that i2
= -1. We can use this fact to find other powers of i.
contents back next
25. Example
i3
= i2
* i = -1*i = -i.
i4
= i2
* i2
= (-1) * (-1) = 1.
Exercise:
Simplify i8
and i11
.
We treat i like other numbers in that we can multiply it by numbers, we can add it to other numbers, etc. The
difference is that many of these quantities cannot be simplified to a pure real number.
For example, 3i just means 3 times i, but we cannot rewrite this product in a simpler form, because it is not a real
number. The quantity 5 + 3i also cannot be simplified to a real number.
However, (-i)2
can be simplified. (-i)2
= (-1*i)2
= (-1)2
* i2
= 1 * (-1) = -1.
Because i2
and (-i)2
are both equal to -1, they are both solutions for Equation 2 above.

28. Lesson 4
The Complex Plane
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•distinguish the points on the plane;
•differentiate the real and imaginary part; and
•draw from memory the figure form by the plot points on the complex plane.
A complex number is one of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers. a is called the real part of the
complex number, and b is called the imaginary part.
Two complex numbers are equal if and only if their real parts are equal and their imaginary parts are equal. I.e.,
a+bi = c+di if and only if a = c, and b = d.
Example.
2 - 5i.
6 + 4i.
0 + 2i = 2i.
4 + 0i = 4.
The last example above illustrates the fact that every real number is a complex number (with imaginary part 0).
Another example: the real number -3.87 is equal to the complex number -3.87 + 0i.
It is often useful to think of real numbers as points on a number line. For example, you can define the order
relation c < d, where c and d are real numbers, by saying that it means c is to the left of d on the number line.
nextbackcontents
29. We can visualize complex numbers by associating them with points in the plane. We do this by letting the
number a + bi correspond to the point (a,b), we use x for a and y for b.
Exercises: Represent each of the following complex number by a point in the plane.

32. Lesson 5
Complex Arithmetic
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•define the four arithmetic operations on complex numbers;
•comply with the steps in solving the different operations; and
•solve the four arithmetic operations.
When a number system is extended the arithmetic operations must be defined for the new numbers, and the
important properties of the operations should still hold. For example, addition of whole numbers is commutative. This
means that we can change the order in which two whole numbers are added and the sum is the same: 3 + 5 = 8 and 5
+ 3 = 8.
We need to define the four arithmetic operations on complex numbers.
Addition and
Subtraction To add or subtract two complex numbers, you add or subtract the real parts and the
imaginary parts.
(a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i.
(a + bi) - (c + di) = (a - c) + (b - d)i.
Example
(3 - 5i) + (6 + 7i) = (3 + 6) + (-5 + 7)i = 9 + 2i.
(3 - 5i) - (6 + 7i) = (3 - 6) + (-5 - 7)i = -3 - 12i.
nextbackcontents
33. Note
These operations are the same as combining similar terms in expressions that have a variable. For example, if
we were to simplify the expression (3 - 5x) + (6 + 7x) by combining similar terms, then the constants 3 and 6 would be
combined, and the terms -5x and 7x would be combined to yield 9 + 2x.
The Complex Arithmetic applet below demonstrates complex addition in the plane. You can also select the other
arithmetic operations from the pull down list. The applet displays two complex numbers U and V, and shows their sum.
You can drag either U or V to see the result of adding other complex numbers. As with other graphs in these pages,
dragging a point other than U or V changes the viewing rectangle.
Multiplication
The formula for multiplying two complex numbers is
(a + bi) * (c + di) = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i.
You do not have to memorize this formula, because you can arrive at the same result by treating the complex
numbers like expressions with a variable, multiply them as usual, then simplify. The only difference is that powers of i
do simplify, while powers of x do not.
Example
(2 + 3i)(4 + 7i) = 2*4 + 2*7i + 4*3i + 3*7*i2
= 8 + 14i + 12i + 21*(-1)
= (8 - 21) + (14 + 12)i
= -13 + 26i.
nextbackcontents
34. Notice that in the second line of the example, the i2
has been replaced by -1.
Using the formula for multiplication, we would have gone directly to the third line.
Exercise
Perform the following operations.
(a) (-3 + 4i) + (2 - 5i)
(b) 3i - (2 - 4i)
(c) (2 - 7i)(3 + 4i)
(d) (1 + i)(2 - 3i)
Division
The conjugate (or complex conjugate) of the complex number a + bi is a - bi.
Conjugates are important because of the fact that a complex number times its conjugate is real; i.e., its
imaginary part is zero.
(a + bi)(a - bi) = (a2
+ b2
) + 0i = a2
+ b2
.
Example
Number Conjugate Product
2 + 3i 2 - 3i 4 + 9 = 13
3 - 5i 3 + 5i 9 + 25 = 34
4i -4i 16
nextbackcontents
35. Suppose we want to do the division problem (3 + 2i) ÷ (2 + 5i). First, we want to rewrite this as a fractional
expression .
Even though we have not defined division, it must satisfy the properties of ordinary division. So, a number
divided by itself will be 1, where 1 is the multiplicative identity; i.e., 1 times any number is that number.
So, when we multiply by, , we are multiplying by 1 and the number is not changed.
Notice that the quotient on the right consists of the conjugate of the denominator over itself. This choice was
made so that when we multiply the two denominators, the result is a real number. Here is the complete division
problem, with the result written in standard form.

Write (2 - i) ÷ (3 + 2i) in standard form.
We began this section by claiming that we were defining complex numbers so that some equations would have solutions.
So far we have shown only one equation that has no real solutions but two complex solutions. In the next section we will
see that complex numbers provide solutions for many equations. In fact, all polynomial equations have solutions in the set
of complex numbers. This is an important fact that is used in many mathematical applications. Unfortunately, most of these
applications are beyond the scope of this course. See your text (p. 195) for a discussion of the use of complex numbers in
fractal geometry.

42. Lesson 6
Solving by
factoring
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•define what is factoring;
•discuss the Zero Factor Principle; and
•solve equation by using the factoring method.
Factoring – rearrange the equation; factor the left member; equate each factor to zero to
obtain the two roots.
•Solve (x – 3)(x – 4) = 0.
The Zero Factor Principle tells me that at least one of the factors must be equal to zero. Since at least one of
the factors must be zero, I'll set them each equal to zero:
x – 3 = 0 or x – 4 = 0 x = 3 or x = 4
Solve: x = 3, 4
Note that "x = 3, 4" means the same thing as "x = 3 or x = 4"; the only difference is the formatting. The "x =
3, 4" format is more-typically used.
Checking x = 3 in (x – 3)(x – 4) = 0:
([3] – 3)([3] – 4) ?=? 0
(3 – 3)(3 – 4) ?=? 0
(0)(–1) ?=? 0
0 = 0
back nextcontents
43. Checking x = 4 in (x – 3)(x – 4) = 0:
([4] – 3)([4] – 4) ?=? 0
(4 – 3)(4 – 4) ?=? 0
(1)(0) ?=? 0
0 = 0
•Solve x2
+ 5x + 6 = 0.
This equation is already in the form "(quadratic) equals (zero)" but, unlike the previous example, this
isn't yet factored. The quadratic must first be factored, because it is only when you MULTIPLY and get
zero that you can say anything about the factors and solutions. You can't conclude anything about the
individual terms of the unfactored quadratic (like the 5x or the 6), because you can add lots of stuff that
totals zero.
So the first thing I have to do is factor:
x2
+ 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)
Set this equal to zero:
(x + 2)(x + 3) = 0
Solve each factor:
x + 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
x = –2 or x = – 3
The solution to x2
+ 5x + 6 = 0 is x = –3, –2
Checking x = –3 and x = –2 in x2
+ 5x + 6 = 0:
[–3]2
+ 5[–3] + 6 ?=? 0
9 – 15 + 6 ?=? 0
9 + 6 – 15 ?=? 0
back nextcontents
44. 15 – 15 ?=? 0
0 = 0
[–2]2
+ 5[–2] + 6 ?=? 0
4 – 10 + 6 ?=? 0
4 + 6 – 10 ?=? 0
10 – 10 ?=? 0
0 = 0
So both solutions "check".
•Solve x2
– 3 = 2x.
This equation is not in "(quadratic) equals (zero)" form, so I can't try to solve it yet. The first thing I need to do
is get all the terms over on one side, with zero on the other side. Only then can I factor and solve:
x2
– 3 = 2x
x2
– 2x – 3 = 0
(x – 3)(x + 1) = 0
x – 3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
x = 3 or x = –1
Then the solution to x2
– 3 = 2x is x = –1, 3
•Solve (x + 2)(x + 3) = 12.
The (10 + 2)(9 + 3) does not equal 12, you should never forget that you must have "(quadratic) equals (zero)"
before you can solve.
So, tempting though it may be, the factors above equal to the other side of the equation and "solve". Instead,
multiply out and simplify the left-hand side, then subtract the 12 over to the left-hand side, and re-factor.
nextbackcontents
45. (x + 2)(x + 3) = 12
x2
+ 5x + 6 = 12
x2
+ 5x – 6 = 0
(x + 6)(x – 1) = 0
x + 6 = 0 or x – 1 = 0
x = –6 or x = 1
Then the solution to (x + 2)(x + 3) = 12 is x = –6, 1
•Solve x(x + 5) = 0.
To "solve" the equation for "x + 5 = 0", divide it by x. But it can't divide by zero; dividing off the x makes the implicit
assumption that x is not zero. Used the variable factors having variables and numbers (like the other factor, x + 5), a
factor can contain only a variable, so "x" is a perfectly valid factor. So set the factors equal to zero, and solve:
x(x + 5) = 0
x = 0 or x + 5 = 0
x = 0 or x = –5
Then the solution to x(x + 5) = 0 is x = 0, –5
•Solve x2
– 5x = 0.
Factor the x out of both terms, taking the x out front.
x(x – 5) = 0
x = 0 or x – 5 = 0
x = 0 or x = 5
Then the solution to x2
– 5x = 0 is x = 0, 5
There is one other case of two-term quadratics that you can factor:
nextbackcontents
46. •Solve x2
– 4 = 0.
This equation is in "(quadratic) equals (zero)" form, it's ready to solve. The quadratic itself is a
difference of squares, then apply the difference-of-squares formula:
x2
– 4 = 0
(x – 2)(x + 2) = 0
x – 2 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 2 or x = –2
Then the solution is x = –2, 2
Note: This solution may also be formatted as "x = ± 2“
Exercises: Solve:
•(x – 3)(x – 5) = 0.
•x2
+ 6x + 7 = 0.
•x2
– 4 = 2x.
•x2
– 6x = 0.
•x2
– 8 = 0.

49. Lesson 7
Solving by Completing the Square
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•analyze the techniques in completing the square;
•comply with the techniques of completing the square; and
•carefully change the exact signs for every equation.
Some quadratics is fairly simple to solve because they are of the form "something-with-x squared equals some
number", and then you take the square root of both sides. An example would be:
(x – 4)2
= 5
x – 4 = ± sqrt(5)
x = 4 ± sqrt(5)
x = 4 – sqrt(5) and x = 4 + sqrt(5)
Unfortunately, most quadratics doesn’t come neatly squared like this. For your average everyday quadratic, you
first have to use the technique of "completing the square" to rearrange the quadratic into the neat "(squared part) equals
(a number)" format demonstrated above. For example:
•Find the x-intercepts of y = 4x2
– 2x – 5.
First off, remember that finding the x-intercepts means setting y equal to zero and solving for the x-values, so this
question is really asking you to "Solve 4x2
– 2x – 5 = 0".
nextbackcontents
50. The answer can also be written in rounded form as
nextbackcontents
51. You will need rounded form for "real life" answers to word problems, and for graphing. But (warning!) in
most other cases, you should assume that the answer should be in "exact" form, complete with all the square
roots.
When you complete the square, make sure that you are careful with the sign on the x-term when you
multiply by one-half. If you lose that sign, you can get the wrong answer in the end, because you'll forget what
goes inside the parentheses. Also, don't be sloppy and wait to do the plus/minus sign until the very end. On your
tests, you won't have the answers in the back, and you will likely forget to put the plus/minus into the answer.
Besides, there's no reason to go ticking off your instructor by doing something wrong when it's so simple to do it
right. On the same note, make sure you draw in the square root sign, as necessary, when you square root both
sides. Don't wait until the answer in the back of the book "reminds" you that you "meant" to put the square root
symbol in there. If you get in the habit of being sloppy, you'll only hurt yourself!
•Solve x2
+ 6x – 7 = 0 by completing the square.
Do the same procedure as above, in exactly the same order. (Study tip: Always working these problems
in exactly the same way will help you remember the steps when you're taking your tests.)
contents back next
52. If you are not consistent with remembering to put your plus/minus in as soon as you square-root both
sides, then this is an example of the type of exercise where you'll get yourself in trouble. You'll write your answer
as "x = –3 + 4 = 1", and have no idea how they got "x = –7", because you won't have a square root symbol
"reminding" you that you "meant" to put the plus/minus in. That is, if you're sloppy, these easier problems will
embarrass you!

55. Lesson 8
Quadratic Formula
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•follow the step in solving quadratic formula;
•distinguish the roots of the quadratic equation; and
•perform substituting the values in the quadratic formula.
The following steps will serve as guide in solving this method.
Step 1. First subtract c from both sides of the equation and then, divide both sides by
(a # 0 by hypothesis) to obtain the equivalent equation,
x2
+ =
Step 2. Complete the left-hand side in to the perfect square.
x2
+ bx/a + (b/2a)2
= (b/2a)2
– c/a
or (x+b/2a)2
= (b2
-4ac)/4a2
Step 3. Take the square roots of both sides of the last equation.
(x+b/2a) = ± ( /2a
nextbackcontents
56. Step 4. Solve for x.
x = or
Let a, b and c be real constant, where a ≠ 0. Then the roots of ax2
+ bx + c = 0 are
x =
The above formula is referred to as the quadratic formula.
Example: Solve a. 3x2
– x – 5/2 = 0
Solutions: Here a=3, b=⁻1, c=⁻5/2
Substituting these values in the quadratic formula
we obtain x =

The roots are and .
a. 2x2
– 5 (x-2) = 8
To be able to apply the formula, we must first put the given equation in standard form.
2x2
– 5 (x-2) = 8
2x2
– 5x + 10 = 8
2x2
– 5x + 2 = 0

57. Here a=2, b=⁻5 c=2. By the quadratic formula
x = =
The roots are 2 and .

Note that the expression 2x2
– 5x + 2 can be factored as
2x2
– 5x + 2 = (2x – 1) (x – 2)
The roots of the quadratic equation x = 1/2 and x = 2. This example
shown that if we can see that the given equation in factorable, it will be quicker to solve it by factoring.

60. Lesson 9
Solving "by
Graphing
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•define graphing;
•resolve the equation by graphing; and
•draw the points from the equations given.
To be honest, solving "by graphing" is an achingly trendy but somewhat bogus topic. The basic idea
behind solving by graphing is that, since the "solutions" to "ax2
+ bx + c = 0" are the x-intercepts of "y = ax2
+ bx +
c", you can look at the x-intercepts of the graph to find the solutions to the equation. There are difficulties with
"solving" this way, though....
When you graph a straight line like "y = 2x + 3", you can find the x-intercept (to a certain degree of
accuracy) by drawing a really neat axis system, plotting a couple points, grabbing your ruler and drawing a nice
straight line, and reading the (approximate) answer from the graph with a fair degree of confidence.On the other
hand, a quadratic graphs as a wiggly parabola. If you plot a few non-x-intercept points and then draw a curvy line
through them, how do you know if you got the x-intercepts even close to being correct? You don't. The only way
you can be sure of your x-intercepts is to set the quadratic equal to zero and solve. But the whole point of this
topic is that they don't want you to do the (exact) algebraic solving; they want you to guess from the pretty
pictures.
So "solving by graphing" tends to be neither "solving" nor "graphing". That is, you don't actually graph anything, and
you don't actually do any of the "solving". Instead, you are told to punch some buttons on your graphing calculator and look
at the pretty picture, and then you're told which other buttons to hit so the software can compute the
contents back next
61. intercepts (or you're told to guess from the pretty picture in the book, hoping that the printer lined up the
different print runs for the different ink colors exactly right). I think the educators are trying to "help" you "discover"
the connection between x-intercepts and solutions, but the concept tends to get lost in all the button-pushing. Okay,
enough of my ranting...
To "solve" by graphing, the book may give you a very neat graph, probably with at least a few points labeled;
the book will ask you to state the points on the graph that represent solutions. Otherwise, it will give you a
quadratic, and you will be using your graphing calculator to find the answer. Since different calculator models have
different key-sequences, I cannot give instruction on how to "use technology" to find the answers, so I will only give
a couple examples of how to solve from a picture that is given to you.
•Solve x2
– 8x + 15 = 0 by using the following graph.
The graph is of the related quadratic, y = x2
– 8x + 15, with the x-intercepts being where y = 0. The point
here is to look at the picture (hoping that the points really do cross at whole numbers, as it appears), and read the
x-intercepts (and hence the solutions) from the picture.
The solution is x = 3,
Since x2
– 8x + 15 factors as (x – 3)(x – 5), we know that our answer is correct.

62. • Solve 0.3x2
– 0.5x – 5
/3
= 0 by using the following graph.
For this picture, they labeled a bunch of points. Partly, this was to be helpful, because the x-intercepts are
messy (so I could not have guessed their values without the labels), but mostly this was in hopes of confusing
me, in case I had forgotten that only the x-intercepts, not the vertices or y-intercepts, correspond to "solutions".
The x-values of the two points where the graph crosses the x-axis are the solutions to the equation.
The solution is x = –5
/3
, 10
/3
• Find the solutions to the following quadratic:

63. They haven't given me the quadratic equation, so I can't check my work algebraically. (And, technically,
they haven't even given me a quadratic to solve; they have only given me the picture of a parabola from which I
am supposed to approximate the x-intercepts, which really is a different question....)
I ignore the vertex and the y-intercept, and pay attention only to the x-intercepts. The "solutions" are the x-
values of the points where the pictured line crosses the x-axis:
The solution is x = –5.39, 2.76
"Solving" quadratics by graphing is silly in "real life", and requires that the solutions be the simple factoring-
type solutions such as "x = 3", rather than something like "x = –4 + sqrt(7)". In other words, they either have to
"give" you the answers (by labeling the graph), or they have to ask you for solutions that you could have found
easily by factoring. About the only thing you can gain from this topic is reinforcing your understanding of the
connection between solutions and x-intercepts: the solutions to "(some polynomial) equals (zero)" correspond to
the x-intercepts of "y equals (that same polynomial)". If you come away with an understanding of that concept,
then you will know when best to use your graphing calculator or other graphing software to help you solve general
polynomials; namely, when they aren't factorable.

67. Chapter IV
Much of the study in quadratic equation consist of different solving equation, we have equation in
quadratic form, equation containing radicals and equation reducible to quadratic equation. They have their own
steps and procedures to be followed in order to solve the given equation.
TARGET SKILLS:

68. Lesson 10
Equation in Quadratic Form
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•identify equation in quadratic form;
•select appropriate method in solving quadratic equation; and
•change the equation in standard form.
Quadratic in Form
An equation is quadratic in form when it can be written in this standard form
where the same expression is inside both ( )'s.
In other words, if you have a times the square of the expression following b plus b times that same
expression not squared plus c equal to 0, you have an equation that is quadratic in form.
If we substitute what is in the ( ) with a variable like t, then the original equation will become a quadratic
equation.
contents back next
69. Solving Equations that are
Quadratic in Form
If it is not in standard form, move any term(s) to the appropriate side by using the
addition/subtraction property of equality.
Also, make sure that the squared term is written first left to right, the expression not squared is
second and the constant is third and it is set equal to 0.
Step 1: Write in Standard Form, , if needed.
In other words, substitute your variable for what is in the ( ) when it is in standard form, .
I’m going to use t for my substitution, but really you can use any variable as long as it is not the
variable that is used in the original equation.
Step 2: Substitute a variable in for the expression that follows b in the second term.
You can use any method you want to solve the quadratic equation: factoring, completing the square
or quadratic formula.
Step 3: Solve the quadratic equation created in step 2.
Keep in mind that you are finding a solution to the original equation and that the variable you
substituted in for in step 2 is not your original variable.
Use the substitution that was used to set up step 2 and then solve for the original variable.
Step 4: Find the value of the variable from the original equation.

70. In some cases, you will be working with rational exponents and square roots in your problems. Those
types of equations can cause extraneous solutions. Recall that an extraneous solution is one that is a
solution to an equation after doing something like raising both sides of an equation by an even power,
but is not a solution to the original problem.
Even though not all of the quadratic in form equations can cause extraneous solutions, it is better to
be safe than sorry and just check them all.
Step 5: Check your solutions.
Example 1: Solve the equation that is quadratic in form:

79. Lesson 11
Equation Containing Radicals
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•determine the index and its radicals;
•positively respond to the note to be remembered; and
•perform isolation of one radical if there are two radicals in the equation.
In the radicals which is read the “nth root of b,” the positive integer n is called the index or
order of the radical, and b is called its radicand. When n is 2, 2 is no longer written, just simply write
instead of to indicate the square root of b, thus is read as “cube root of b”; as “4th
of b”.
Note:
•In order to solve for x, you must isolate x.
•In order to isolate x, you must remove it from under the radial.
•If there are two radicals in the equation, isolate one of the radicals.
•Then raise both sides of the equation to a power equal to the index of the isolated radical.
•Isolate the the remaining radical.
•Raise both sides of the equation to a power equal to the index of the isolated radical.
•You should now have a polynomial equation. Solve it.
•Remember that you did not start out with a polynomial; therefore, there may be extraneous solutions.
Therefore, you must check your answers.

84. Lesson 12
Equations Reducible to Quadratic Equations
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•interpret the solution of the original equation;
•organize the equation if it is quadratic equation ; and
•solve the equation by factoring or quadratic formula.
A variety of equations can be transformed into quadratic equations and solved by methods that we have
discussed in the previous section. We will consider fractional equations, equations involving radicals and
equation that can be transformed into quadratic equations by appropriate substitutions. Since the transformation
process may introduce extraneous roots which are not solutions of the original equation, we must always check
the solution in the original equation.
Example: Solve 1 1 7
x+2 + x+3 = 12
Solution: First note that neither -2 nor -3 can be a solution since at either of these points the equation is
meaningless.
Multiplying by the LCD, 12(x+2) (x+3), we get
12(x+3) + 12(x+2) = 7(x+2) (x+3)
24x + 60 = 7(x2
+ 5x + 6)
or
7x2
+ 11x – 18 = 0
Factoring, we get, (7x + 18)(x – 1) = 0

85. x = 1 or -18

If x = 1, _1_ _1_ _1_ _1_ _7_
1+2 1+3 = 3 + 4 = 12
Therefore x = 1 is a solution.
If x = -18, __1__ + __1__
7 -18/7 + 2 -18/7 + 3
= __7__ + __7__
-18 + 14 -18 + 21
= _-7_ + _7_ = _7_
4 3 12
Therefore, x = _-18_ is a solution.

Example 2. = - 2
Solution: squaring both sides of the equation, we obtain,

86. Dividing both sides by 2 gives, x – 8 = -2
Squaring both sides of the equation we get
(x - 8) =

x2
- 16x + 64 = 4 (x +16)

x(x – 20) =0
x = 0 or x = 20
Check: if x = 0, =

8 = 6 – 2
8 ≠ 4
Therefore x = 20 is not a solution of the original equation.
Thus the only root of

Solutions
a.Let u = x-1
. Then u2
= (x-1
)2
= x-2
and our equation becomes
2u2 – 7u + 3 = 0, a quadratic equation in u.
To solve the equation, we factor the left-hand side.
(2u – 1)( u – 3) = 0
U = ½ or u = 3
Since u = x-1
, x-1
=
or x-1
= 3, from which
x = 2 or x =
Check: if x = 2, 2(2-2
) – 7(2-1
) + 3 =
Thus x = 2 is solution
If x = 1/3, 2(1/3)-2
– 7(1/3)-1
+ 3 = 2(3)2
– 7(3) + 3
So, x = 1/3 is a solution.
b. Let u = x2
. Then u2
= x4
and the given equation becomes a quadratic equation in u.
u2
– 2u – 2 = 0

88. u = =
u = 1 + or u =
Since u = x2
and u = < 0, we have to discard this solution.
u = x2
= implies
x = ±
It is simple to verify that both values of x satisfy the original equation. The roots of x4
– x2
– 2 = 0 are

.
c. Let u = .This substitution yields a quadratic equation in u.
u2
– u – 2 = 0
(u – 2)(u + 1) = 0
u = 2 0r u = ˉ1
u = = 2 implies x = 2(4x + 1)
or x =
u = = 1 implies x = ˉ4x – 1
or x =
Again, it can easily be verified that both solutions check in the original equation.

92. Chapter V
The discriminant gives additional information on the nature of the roots beyond simply whether there
are any repeated roots: it also gives information on whether the roots are real or complex, and rational or
irrational. More formally, it gives information on whether the roots are in the field over which the polynomial is
defined, or are in an extension field, and hence whether the polynomial factors over the field of coefficients.
This is most transparent and easily stated for quadratic and cubic polynomials; for polynomials of degree 4 or
higher this is more difficult to state.
TARGET SKILLS:
At the end of this chapter, students are expected to:
•determine discriminant, roots and coefficient;
• discuss the relation the roots and coefficient;
• find the sum and product of the roots; and
• change quadratic equation to discriminant formula.

93. Lesson 13
The Discriminant and the roots of a
Quadratic Equation
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•determine discriminant and the roots;
•compare discriminant and the nature of the roots; and
•change quadratic equation to discriminant using the nature of the roots.
Example
1. Find the x-intercept of y = 3x² - 6x + 4.
Solution: As already mentioned, the values of x for which 3x² - 6x + 4 = 0 give the x-intercepts of the function.
We apply the quadratic formula in solving the equation.
3x² - 6x + 4 = 0
x = =
Since is not a real number, the equation 3x² - 6x + 4 = 0 has no real root. This means that the
parabola y = 3x² - 6x + 4 does not intersect the x-axis.
Let us write the equation in the form y = a(x – h)²+ k.
y = 3(x² – 2x)² + 4
= 3(x – 1)² + 1

b² - 4ac = (ˉ1)² - 4 (1)(¼)
= 1 – 1
= 0 There is only one solution, that is, a double root.
Note that x² - x = ½ = (x - ½), so that double root is ˉb/2a = ½.
b. 5x² - 4x + 1 = 0
a = 5, b = ˉ4, c = 1
b² - 4ac = (ˉ4)² - 4 (5)(1)
= 16 – 20
= ˉ4 < 0 There are no real roots since a negative number has no real square root.

97. Lesson 14
Relation between roots and coefficient
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
•classify roots and coefficient;
•discuss relations between the roots and coefficient of the quadratic equation; and
•find the sum and product of the roots of a given quadratic equation
There are some interesting relations between the sum and the product of the roots of a quadratic
equation. To discover these, consider the quadratic equation ax2
+ bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0.
Multiply both sides of this equation by 1/a so that the coefficient of x2
is 1.
(ax2
+ bx + c) =
We obtain an equivalent quadratic equation in the form
x2
+ + = 0
If r and s are the roots of the quadratic equation ax2
+ bx + c = 0, then from the quadratic formula
r = and s =
nextbackcontents
98. Adding the roots, we obtain
r + s = +
= =
Multiplying the roots, we obtain
rs =
= c / a
Observe the coefficient in the quadratic equation x2
+ bx/a + c/a = 0. How do they compare with the
sum and the product of the roots? Did you observe the following?
1. The sum of the roots is equal to the negative of the coefficient of x.
r + s = -b / a
2. The product of the roots is equal to the constant term
rs = c / a
An alternate way of arriving at these relations is as follows
Let r and s be the roots of x2
+ bx/a + c/a = 0. Then
x - r)(x – s) = 0
Expanding gives, x2
– rx – sx + rs = 0
or x2
– (r + s)x + rs = 0
nextbackcontents
99. Comparing the coefficients of the corresponding terms, we obtain
r + s = -b / a and rs c / a
The above relations between the roots and the coefficients provide a fast and convenient means of
checking the solutions of a quadratic equation.
Example: Solve and check. 2x2
+ x – 6 = 0
Solutions: 2x2
+ x – 6 = (2x – 3)(x + 2) = 0
x = 3/2 or x = 2
The roots are 3/2 and 2.
To check, we add the roots, 3/2 = (-2) = -1/2 = -b/a.
and multiply them 3/2 = (-2) = -3 = c/a
Example: Find the sum and the product of the roots of 3x2
– 6x + 8 = 0 without having to first determine the roots.
Solution: The sum of the roots is r + s = -c/a = -(-6)/3 = 2
and their product is rs = c/a = 8/3

104. Lesson 15
Equation on a Calculator
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, students are expected to:
• acquire knowledge using calculator in solving quadratic equation;
• resolve equations on a calculator; and
• improve skills on solving quadratic equation using a calculator.
The simplest way to solve a quadratic equation on a calculator is to use the
quadratic formula.
x=-b ± where d=b² - 4ac
2a
As we have seen, if d < 0, there are no real solutions. But f d ≥ 0, then we can use calculator to get the
solutions.
To solve 3x² + 5x – 7 = 0, first compute the discriminant.
d = b² - 4ac = 5² - 4(3)(-7).
On an arithmetic calculator, the keystroke sequence for d is,
[AC][MC] 4 [x] 3 [x] 7 [=][M+] 5 [x][=][+][MR][=]
The display will show the value of the discriminant to be 109, and so the quadratic equation has two distinct
roots. To compute the roots, proceed as follows:
[AC][MC] 109 [√][M+][MR][-] 5 [+] 2 [x] 3 [=] the first root and
contents back next
105. 0 [-][MR][-] 5 [+] 2 [ x] 3 [=] the second root.
On an algebraic calculator, the keystroke sequence is easier. Recall that the actual roots are:
x= -5 +
2(3)
x= -5 -
2(3)
First, we compute the square root of the discriminant and store it is memory.
[AC] 5 [2] – 4 [x] 3 [x] 7 [+/-][=][√][Min]
Then, compute the first root as:
x1 =
(5 [+/-][+][MR])[÷] (2 [x] 3) [=];
and then compute the second root as:
x2 =
(5[+/-][-][MR])[+] (2 [x] 3)[=].
Exercise:
