Captain Tiffany has a ship, the H.M.S. Khan. The ship is two furlongs from the dread pirate Omar and his merciless band of thiev

es.The Captain has probability of 1/2 of hitting the pirate ship. The pirate only has one good eye, so he hits the Captain's ship with probability 2/7.If both fire their cannons at the same time, what is the probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships

Answer:

0.1428 is the probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Probability of captain hitting pirate's ship =

P(C)=\dfrac{1}{2}

Probability of pirate hitting captain's ship =

P(P) = \dfrac{2}{7}

If events are independent events, we can write:

P(A\cap B) =P(A)\times P(B)

We have to evaluate the probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships.

P(C\cap P) = P(C) \times P(P)\\\\P(C\cap P) = \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{7}  = \dfrac{1}{7} = 0.1428

0.1428 is the probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships.

Assuming you mean

5\sin t\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}+5y\cos t=\cos t\sin^2t

This ODE is linear in y, and you can already contract the left hand side as the derivative of a product:

\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\left[5y\sin t\right]=\cos t\sin^2t

Integrating both sides with respect to t yields

5y\sin t=\displaystyle\int\cos t\sin^2t\,\mathrm dt
5y\sin t=\dfrac13\sin^3t+C
y=\dfrac1{15}\sin^2t+C\csc t

Given that y\left(\dfrac\pi2\right)=9, we have

9=\dfrac1{15}\sin^2\dfrac\pi2+C\csc\dfrac\pi2
9=\dfrac1{15}+C
C=\dfrac{134}{15}

so that the particular solution over the interval is

y=\dfrac1{15}\sin^2t+\dfrac{134}{15}\csc t
