Solving Quadratic Equation by Factoring
Introductory Message!

For the facilitator:

Welcome to Mathematics 9 Self Learning Module on Solving Quadratic Equation by

Factoring!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in
helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while
overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration
their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

Welcome to Mathematics Self Learning Module on Solving Quadratic Equation by

FINDING THE ROOTS OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION BY FACTORING
To factor a quadratic equation of the form 𝑎𝑥² + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0 write it as (x + r1) (x + r2)
= 0 where c = r1⦁ r2 and b = r1 + r2

Examples:
The c term is 12, so you need to find a pair
1. Solve for r. of factors with a product of 12. The b term
𝑟² + 13𝑟 + 12 = 0 is 13 so you need to find a pair of factors
with a sum of 13. Since the product is
positive (12) and the sum is positive (13),
you need both factors to be positive.

Solutions:

Step 1: Make a list of the possible factor pairs with a product of 12, and then find
the one with a sum of 13.

Factor pairs of c = 12 Sum of factor pairs

1*12 = 12 1 + 12 = 13
2*6 = 12 2+6=8
3*4 = 12 3+4=7

Step 2: Use 1 and 12 to factor the quadratic inside the parenthesis.

(r + 1 ) (r +12) =0

Step 3: Use the zero product property to solve each linear equations.
𝑟 + 12 = 0 𝑟 + 1 = 0
𝑟 + 12 − 12 = 0 − 12 𝑟 + −1 = 0– 1
𝑟 = −12 𝑟 = −1

The roots of the equation are -12 and -1

2. Given: 2m² − 20m = 0, solve for m.

Factor out the Greatest Common Monomial Factor

2m(m − 10) = 0
Equate each factors to 0 and solve each linear equation.
2m = 0 m – 10 = 0
1 1 m – 10 + 10 = 0 + 10
(2𝑚 = 0)
2 2
𝑚 = 0 m = 10

The roots of the equation are 0 and 10

3. Solve for n.

3n² + 14n − 5 = 0

Solutions: Because b is positive and c is negative, the factors of c have different

signs.
