    Calculating the Probability of Finding a Word in a Word Search Puzzle

    I don't really have any work because I don't know how to approach this problem. I mean what I tried to do was draw a picture, a 25x25 grid just to try and illustrate it. And then since it says to leave it by two blocks I shaded two block in every direction so it's more like a 23x23. That's...

    Calculating the Probability of Finding a Word in a Word Search Puzzle

    Howdy, I'm completely not sure how to go about this problem. I feel like there is more than one way to approach this problem. I just know words can go forwards, backwards, and diagonal and just get stuck there. So here it is: What is the probability that a letter in a given position...

    Ordinary Differential Equations: Separation of Variables

    I'm just starting off ODE too... Here's my work up to a certain point... dy/dx = x / (1+y^4) multiply both sides by (1+y^4) and dx you get (1+y^4) *dy = x dx Integrate I get y + y^5 = (1/2)x^2 + C
