The probability that the train will be there when Alex arrives is 5/18

If Alex arrives at any time after 1.20pm the chances that train will  be there is 1/3.

However  if alex arrives at 1.00pm exactly there is no chance the train will be arrive there.

The probability that the train will be there increase linearly to 1/3 as alex's arrival time moves from 1.00pm to 1.20pm.

By arranging the probabilities over the first 20 minutes to get a 1/6 chance the train will be there if alex arrives between 1.00pm to 1.20pm

we get the final answer by

=1/3( 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/3)

=5/18

So, the probability that the train will be there when Alex arrives is 5/18

In a film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. He wittily
yanalaym [24]

Answer:the uncle is 54 years old.

The woman is 18 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the age of the uncle.

Let y represent the age of the woman that he married.

In the film, an actor played an elderly uncle character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is 3 times her age. This means that

x = 3y

He wittily replies, "Ah, but in 18 years time I shall only be twice her age. It means that

x + 18 = 2(y + 18)

x + 18 = 2y + 36 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes

3y + 18 = 2y + 36

3y - 2y = 36 - 18

y = 18

x = 3y = 3 × 18

x = 54

Find the centroid for an area defined by the equations y = x² + 3 and y = - (x – 2)² + 7
meriva
The points where the 2 graphs intersect is  where x = 0 and x = 2.

-                 2                                  2
x   =    INT               x dA     /    INT        dA
                  0                                  0

INT dA   = INT -x^2 + 4x + 3 - (x^2 + 3 ) dx  =      INT -2x^2  + 4x
               =   -2 x^3/3 + 2x^2
               =   2.667  between 0 and 2

xdA  =   -2x^3 + 4x^2  INT xdA  =   -x^4/2 + 4x^3/3 = 2.667

centroid = 2.667 / 2.667  = 1  (x = 1)
