Answer:

His age is 7 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rehman's present age be x years.

1 / (x - 3) + 1 /(x + 5) = 1/3

Multiply through by the LCD 3(x - 3)(x + 5):

3(x + 5) + 3(x - 3) = (x + 5)(x - 3)

3x + 15 + 3x - 9 = x^2 + 2x - 15

x^2 + 2x - 6x - 30 + 9 = 0

x^2 - 4x - 21 = 0

(x - 7)(x + 3) = 0

x = 7 (answer).

Consider the volume of the region shown below, which shows a right circular cone with top radius 3 cm and height 10 cm. We have

koban [17]

I have the same problem here with a slight change in the given values:

radius is 2 & height of 6 indicates the bounding line is y = 3 x---> x = y / 3....

thus the [ π radius ² thickness ] yields π (y² / 9 ) dy , y in [ 0 , 6 ] for the volume... 

a Riemann sum is then : y_i = 0 + i [ 6 / n ] = 6 i / n , i = 1,2,3...n and do a right side sum

π Σ { i = 1,2,3..n } [ 36 i² / 9 n² ] [ 6 / n ]

I hope my guide has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

A coin is tossed then a number 1-10 is chosen at random what is the probability of getting heads then a number less than 4

Darya [45]

The probability of getting heads on a coin toss is 0.5
The probability of choosing a number less than four is 3/10 (1,2,3)

Therefore, the probability of getting heads and choosing a number less than four is:
$= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{3}{10}) = \frac{3}{20} = 0.15$

Hope this helps!
