III. PROCEDURE
C. MOTIVATION (5 minutes)
Title of the Activity: Math in A, B, C?
Materials: PowerPoint Presentation, Equations
Instructions: Let the students identify the values of a, b, and c from the
following quadratic equations.
D. LESSON PROPER
A. ABSTRACTION
The Nature of the Roots of a Quadratic Equation
The value of the expression b2 - 4ac is called the discriminants
of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. This value can be used to
describe the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. It can be zero,
positive and perfect square, positive but not perfect square, or negative.
1. When b2 - 4ac is equal to zero, then the roots are real numbers and
are equal.
2. When b2 - 4ac is greater than zero and a perfect square, then the
roots are rational numbers but are not equal.
3. When b2 - 4ac is greater than zero but not a perfect square, then the
roots are irrational numbers and are not equal.
4. When b2 - 4ac is less than zero, then the equation has no real roots.
B. APPLICATION
Let’s Try! The teacher will group the learners into three members each
team according to their terms they will be getting. The equations will be
presented and let them look for their groupmates to make them an
equation.
Activity 1: What is My Nature?
Determine the nature of the roots of the following quadratic equations
using the discriminant. Answer the questions below.
Equation Discriminant Nature of the roots
1. m2 + 6m + 9 = 0
2. a2 + 9a + 20 = 0
3. 2t2 – 10t + 8 = 0
4. h2 + 5h + 10 = 0
5. i2 + 6i + 3 = 0
6. 2s2 + 6s + 4 = 0
7. 3l2 – 5l = -4
8. 9o2 – 6o = -9
9. 10v2 – 4v = 8
10. 3e2 – 2e - 5 = 0
C. APPLICATION
Answer the following questions and write it in a ½ crosswise.
Questions:
1. Describe the roots of a quadratic equation when the discriminant is
a. zero.
b. positive perfect square.
c. positive but not perfect square.
d. negative.
Give 1 example for each.
2. How do you determine the nature of the roots of a
quadratic equation?
3. Danica says that the quadratic equation 2x2 +5x – 4 =0
has two possible solutions because the value of its
discriminant is positive. Do you agree with Danica? Justify
your answer.
D. ASSIGNMENT
Write quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 using the values of a, b, and c.
Evaluate the expression b2 – 4ac and determine the nature of roots.
1. a = 1, b = 5, c=4
2. a = 2, b = 1, c = -21
3. a = 4, b = 4, c=1
4. a = 1, b = -2, c = -2
5. a = 9, b = 0, c = 16
