Each coefficient in the equation `a x^2+b x+c=0` is determined by throwing an ordinary six faced die. Find the probability that the equation will have real roots.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Roots are real when `b^2=4ac`
`implies (b/2)^2=ac`
When `b=1, (b/2)^2=1/4`
When `b=2, (b/2)^2=1`
When `b=3, (b/2)^2=9/2`
When `b=4, (b/2)^2=4`
When `b=5, (b/2)^2=25/2`
When `b=6, (b/2)^2=9`
