Lesson 14
Rewriting Quadratic Expressions
- Let’s practice rewriting quadratic expressions
14.1: Writing Quadratics in Standard Form
Use the given information to write a quadratic expression in standard form.
- a=k^2
- b=2k\boldcdot m
- c=m^2
- k = 1, m = 3
- k=2, m= 3
- k=2, m=4
- k = 3, m = 5
14.2: Practice Writing Expressions in Standard Form
In their math class, Priya and Tyler are asked to rewrite (5x+2)(x-3) into standard form.
Priya likes to use diagrams to rewrite expressions like these, so her work looks like this.
x | -3 | |
5x | 5x^2 | \text-15x |
2 | 2x | -6 |
5x^2 - 15x + 2x - 6
5x^2 -13x - 6
Tyler likes to use the distributive property to rewrite expressions like these, so his work looks like this.
5x(x-3) + 2(x-3)
5x^2 - 15x + 2x - 6
5x^2 - 13x - 6
Use either of these methods or another method you prefer to rewrite these expressions into standard form.
- (2x+1)(2x-3)
- (4x - 1)(\frac{1}{2}x - 3)
- (3x-5)^2
- (2x+1)^2
14.3: Find the Values
For each question, find the value of k and m then determine the value of m^2.
-
- k > 0
- k^2 = 100
- 2km = 40
-
- k < 0
- k^2 = 9
- 2km = 30
-
- k < 0
- k^2 = 16
- 2km = \text{-}40
-
- k > 0
- k^2 = 4
- 2km = \text{-}28
-
- k > 0
- k^2 = 49
- 2km = 14
-
- k > 0
- k^2 = 0.25
- 2km = 12
