The square root property seems to be another name for completing the square
x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0
We move the constant to the other side
x^2 + 5x = -6
We square half the linear coefficient and add that to both sides
x^2 + 5x + (5/2)^2 = -6 + 25/4
Now the left side is a perfect square,
(x + 5/2)^2 = 1/4
Here's the square root property part, we take the square root of both sides, remembering the ±
x + 5/2 = ± 1/2
x = -5/2 ± 1/2
Answer: x = -3 or x=-2
We check by plugging in these values to the original equation, and they work.
------
x^2 + 6x = 16
Again we add half the linear coefficient, squared, to both sides
x^2 + 6x + 3^2 = 16 + 9
(x + 3)^2 = 25
Here comes the square root property, taking the square root of both sides:
x + 3 = ±5
x = -3 ± 5
x = 2 or x = -8
Again we check by substitution, and they both work
Answer: x = 2 or x = -8
In a series of 50 coin tosses, a coin needs to land heads 30 times to have an experimental probability 20% greater than the theoretical probability.
The subject of focus here is the allusion to the theory of probability, particularly in relation to a fair coin flip. The theoretical probability of obtaining either heads or tails in a coin flip is 0.5. However, the student is interested in having an experimental probability 20% greater than the theoretical probability.
We can first calculate the theoretical counts of expected heads per 50 tosses, which is (0.5 * 50) = 25. This result represents the notion that if a coin is thrown 50 times, on average, will land heads 25 times based on the theoretical probability.
To achieve an experimental probability 20% greater than the theoretical probability, we need to find a count of heads that corresponds to a probability that is 20% more than 0.5 (the theoretical probability). This new probability is therefore 0.6 and the corresponding count of heads required would be (0.6 * 50) = 30. Hence, in 50 tosses, the coin would need to show heads 30 times to have an experimental probability 20% greater than the theoretical probability of getting heads.
