Answer 1
Answer:

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

How many times would a coin have to show heads in 50 tosses to have an experimental probability of 20% more than the theoretical probability of getting heads?

Answers

The theoretical probability of getting heads is 50%. 50% of 50 is 25. So, 20 % more than 50% is 20% * 25 + 25 = 5 + 25 = 30. That means that the coin should show 30 heads fo have an experimental probability of 20% more than the theoretical probability. You can check that 30 out of 50 is 0.6. Which is 0.1 more than 0.5. And 0.1 is 20% of 0.5. Then 0.6 is 20% more than 0.5.

Final answer:

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.

Explanation:

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.

A bag has five red marbles, six blue marbles, and four black marbles. What is the probability of picking a blue marble, replacing it, and then picking another blue marble?A. 1/15
B. 8/75
C. 4/25
D. 1/9

Answers

The total number of marbles is 15. The probability of picking a blue marble is 6/15. After putting the marble back, the probability of picking another blue marble is probably 1/9. 

Answer: the probability of picking two blue marbles in a row is 1/9.

Doris put $4000 in a 2 year cd paying 6% interest, compounding monthly. after 2 years, she withdrew all her money. what was the amount of the withdraw?

Answers

For the answer to the question above asking what was the amount of the withdraw if Doris put $4000 in a 2-year cd paying 6% interest, compounding monthly. after 2 years, she withdrew all her money?

First year Interest: I(1) = 4000[(1.005)^12 - 1] = 246.71 = penalty for early withdrawal 
Value after two years: P(2) = 4000(1.005)^24 = 4508.64 

Value after 2 years with penalty: V = 4000(1.005^24 - 1.005^12 + 1) = $4261.93

Answer:

Value after two years: P(2) = 4000(1.005)^24 = **** 4508.64 ***
