    Probability involving a deck of cards

    Homework Statement A deck of 52 playing cards are tosses 1 by 1 into a large box containing 4 sub-compartments. On a given throw, a card is equally likely to fall into any of the sub-compartments. After all 52 cards are thrown into the box, what's the probability of getting these distributions...

    1st order differential eqn raised to power of 1.7

    Thanks for the reply Prologue. So if this is a linear function too, then what exactly is the difference between the solution for "dy/dx = c" and "(dy/dx)^1.7 = c" besides the actual numerical value of dy/dx?

    1st order differential eqn raised to power of 1.7

    Homework Statement This is the eqn I need to solve: (dy/dx)^1.7 = c Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution 1) 1.7ln(dy/dx) = c [since 'c' is an arbitrary constant, I'm writing ln(c) as 'c' itself] 2)ln(dy/dx) = c/1.7 3)dy/dx = e^(c/1.7) 4)y = xe^(c/1.7) Now...
