A. Review
The teacher reviews the previous lesson which was all about linear function.
A linear function has one independent variable and one dependent variable. The
independent variable is x and the dependent variable is y.
B. Motivation
Direction: Determine whether each function is linear or not. The 5 students who can
answer will receive a chocolate from the teacher.
Expected answer:
1. y=x +5 Linear function
2. y=x 2 −2 x+1 Not
3. x + y=− 2 Linear function
2
4. y=x Not
5. y=3 ( x −7) Linear function
C. Lesson Proper
A quadratic function is a function defined by y=ax 2+ bx+ c, where a, b, and c are
real numbers and a ≠ 0. A function which describes a polynomial of degree 2 is
called a quadratic function.
The domain of the quadratic is the set of real numbers. In y=ax 2+ bx+ c the first
term ax 2 is the quadratic term, the second term bx is the linear term, and the third
term c is the constant term.
The graph of a quadratic function is called parabola.
Quadratic functions are used in many types of real world situations. They are
useful in describing the trajectory of a ball, determining the height of a thrown
object and in optimizing profit for businesses. Also, it is used in number related
problem and geometry related problem.
a. Activities
Which of the following real-life models represents a quadratic function or linear
function?
1. The graph of throwing a ball at height (h) for a given time (t) define by the
function h=3+14 t − 5 t 2
2. The graph of duration of phone calls per minute m at a given cost c represented
by the function m = c + 10.
b. Reporting
The teacher will select two students to answer the 2 situations above.
Expected solutions:
1. The highest exponent of the variable is 2 and the equation can be formed into:
2
h=−5 t +14 t+3 . The graph also shows a parabola. Thus, throwing a ball
represents quadratic function.
2. The highest degree of the variable is 1 and the graph is in the form
y = mx + b. The graph also shows a straight line. Thus it is a linear function.
c. Drills
Individual activity:
1. The graph of a quadratic function is a smooth curve called?
A. Horizontal line B. Vertical line C. Circle D. Parabola
2. Which of the following represents a quadratic function?
A. y=3+ 2 x 2 B. 2 y 2+ 3=x
2
C. y=3 x +2 D. y=2x − 3
3. Quadratic function is any function of the form: y=ax 2+ bx+ c, where a, b, and c are
real numbers and _____?
A. a = 0 B. a ≠ 0 C. a ≥ 0 D. a< 0
4. Which of the following situations represents quadratic function?
A. A bakery has a total cost of C(x) = 75x + 4500 and a total revenue function
R(x)n = 125x.
B. Distance versus time if traveling a constant speed.
C. The total cost C(x) of producing a product is given by
2
C ( x )=0.1 x + 500 x +2000.
D. The cost of function C of buying x meals is C(x) = 40x.
5. Which of the following situations represents quadratic function?
A. The graph of throwing a stone at the height (h) for the given time (x) define by
the function ℎ=x 2+10 x − 16.
B. The price (C) of a chicken per number of kilograms (k) at P180.00 per kilo.
C. The graph of Lubiano Company’s profit (T) gained at a given cost (m)
represented by the function T = -800m + 9500
D. A car rental company charges a flat rate of P50.00 and an additional P5.00 per
km to rent a moving car.
D. Application
Group activity:
Consider a rectangular garden whose width is (x + 2) cm and whose length is (x + 5)
cm. How do you find the area of this rectangle?
You can recall that the formula for the area of a rectangle is A = lw where l is the
length and w is the width. Thus, the area of the given rectangle is: A = lw
Expected answer:
A = lw
A = {(x + 5) cm} {(x + 2) cm}
A = (x + 5) (x + 2) cm2
2
A=( x ¿¿ 2+5 x+2 x +10)cm ¿
2
A=( x ¿¿ 2+7 x+10) cm ¿
If x = 3, the area of the rectangle can be obtained by substituting in the
equation above.
A=( x ¿¿ 2+7 x+10) cm2 ¿
A=(3¿¿ 2+7 (3)+10)cm 2 ¿
2
A=9+21+10 cm
2
A=40 cm

IV. Evaluation
Problem solving:
A toy rocket is fired into the air from the top of a building. Its height (h) above the
ground in yards after t seconds is given by the function ℎ(t )=−5 t 2+ 10t +20.
a. What was the initial height of the rocket?
b. When did the rocket reach its maximum height?
Expected answers:
a. The initial height of the rocket is the height from which it was fired. The time is zero.
ℎ(t )=−5 t 2+ 10t +20
2
ℎ(t )=−5 ( 0 ) +10(0)+ 20.
h(t) = 20 yds.
b. The time at which the rocket reaches its maximum height is the x-coordinate of the
vertex.
−b
t=
2a
−10
t=
2(−5)
t = 1 sec.
It takes the toy rocket 1 second to reach its maximum height.
V. Assignment
The teacher will ask the students to create their own real-life situations using
quadratic functions.
