Your goal in this section is to take a closer look at some aspects of the topic finding solutions of
quadratic equations. You are going to think deeper and test further your understanding about solving
quadratic equations using any of the four methods discussed.
1. Sheryl says that the solutions of the quadratic equations w² = 49 and
w² +49 = 0 are the same. Do you agree with Sheryl? Justify your answer.
2. Patricia says that it's more appropriate to use the method of factoring
than extracting square roots in solving the quadratic equation
4x² - 9 = 0. Do you agree with Patricia? Explain your answer.
3. If you are to choose between completing the square and factoring in
finding the solutions of each of the following equations, which would you
choose? Explain and solve the equation using your preferred method.
b. x² + 7x + 12 = 0
a. 4x² - 20x = 11
4. The values of a, b, and e of a quadratic equation written in standard form
are -2, 8, and 3, respectively. Another quadratic equation has 2, -8, and
-3 as the values of a, b, and c, respectively. Do you agree that the two
equations have the same solutions? Justify your answer.
