<u>The present age of the man is 36 years and his son is 11 years.</u>

Answer:

Solution given:

let the age of man be x.

and his son be y.

By question

x-6=6(y-6)

x=6y-36+6

x=6y-30. ......(1)

and

3(x+4)=8(y+4)

3x+12=8y+32

3x=8y+32-12

3x=8y+20. ...(2)

substituting value of x in equation 2 ,we get

3(6y-30)=8y+20

18y-90=8y+20

18y-8y=90+20

10y=110

y=110/10

y=11 years

again substituting value of y in equation 1 we get

x=6*11-30

x=66-30

x=36 years

$\star \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) }$

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Consider a $\triangle$ ABC right angled at C and $\sf \angle \: B = \theta$

Then,

‣ Base [B] = BC

‣ Perpendicular [P] = AC

‣ Hypotenuse [H] = AB

$\therefore \tt \cot \theta = \dfrac{Base}{ Perpendicular} = \dfrac{BC}{AC} = \dfrac{7}{8}$

Let,

Base = 7k and Perpendicular = 8k, where k is any positive integer

In $\triangle$ ABC, H² = B² + P² by Pythagoras theorem

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {BC}^{2} + {AC}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = {(7k)}^{2} + {(8k)}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 49{k}^{2} + 64{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {AB}^{2} = 113{k}^{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \sqrt{113 {k}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt AB = \red{ \sqrt{113} \: k}$

Calculating Sin $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{AC}{AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \dfrac{8 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{ k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \sin \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

Calculating Cos $\sf \theta$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{BC}{ AB}$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \dfrac{7 \cancel{k}}{ \sqrt{113} \: \cancel{k } }$

$\longrightarrow \tt \cos \theta = \purple{ \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} } }$

<u>Solving the given expression</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) }$

Putting,

• Sin $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{113} }$

• Cos $\sf \theta$ = $\dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \bigg(1 + \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) }{\bigg(1 + \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg) \bigg(1 - \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133}} \bigg)}$

<u>Using</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>b</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>b</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>a²</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>b²</u>

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{8}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }{ { \bigg(1 \bigg)}^{2} - { \bigg( \dfrac{7}{ \sqrt{133} } \bigg)}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{1 - \dfrac{64}{113} }{ 1 - \dfrac{49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{ \dfrac{113 - 64}{113} }{ \dfrac{113 - 49}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac { \dfrac{49}{113} }{ \dfrac{64}{113} } }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt { \dfrac{49}{113} }÷{ \dfrac{64}{113} }$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{ \cancel{113}} \times \dfrac{ \cancel{113}}{64}$

$\longrightarrow \: \tt \dfrac{49}{64}$

$\qquad \: \therefore \: \tt \dfrac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 - \sin \theta) }{(1 + \cos \theta) (1 - \cos \theta) } = \pink{\dfrac{49}{64} }$

Flip a coin three times. You will win $2 for each heads. What is the expected winning (expectation of your winning)

Romashka [77]

The three coins could land any these 8 ways:

HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT

P(3 heads) = 1 way out of 8 or 1/8

P(2 heads) = 3 ways out of 8 or 3/8

P(1 head) = 3 ways out of 8 or 3/8

P(0 heads) = 1 way out of 8 or 1/8

x=Winnings P(x) E(x)=x�P(x)

$3 1/8 $.375

$2 3/8 $.75

$1 3/8 $.375

-$10 1/8 -$1.25

---------------------------

Total expectation = $ .25
