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).
Answer:
a) 1/64
b) 1/4096
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can tell from the example, the exponent of 1/2 is the number of heads in a row.
a) p(6 heads in a row) = (1/2)^6 = 1/(2^6) = 1/64
b) p(12 heads in a row) = (1/2)^12 = 1/(2^12) = 1/4096
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The probability of a head is 1/2 because we generally are concerned with a "fair coin." That is defined as a coin in which each of the 2 possible outcomes has the same probability, 1/2. Similarly, a "fair number cube" has 6 faces, and the probability of each is defined to be the same as any other, 1/6. Loaded dice and unfair coins do sometimes show up in probability problems.

Answer:
<em>( About ) 1.77 seconds; Option B</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the equation h ( t ) = - 16t^2 + 50, so in order to determine the time let us determine the x - intercept for y ⇒ 0;
- 16t^2 + 50 = 0,
- 16t^2 = - 50,
t^2 = 25 / 8,
Thus t ⇒ √ ( 25 / 8 ), and t ⇒ - √ ( 25 / 8 ),
t ⇒ ( 5√2 )/ 4, and - ( 5√2 )/ 4,
But time is represented only by a positive value, thus
t ⇒ ( 5√2 )/ 4 = 1.767766953......., ( About ) 1.77 seconds
