1) That old man is Aksionov.
2) The speaker is asking about the truth of digging an escape hole .
3) The speaker means the prison's wall.
Asksionov thought of killing himself because he remembered all those harsh situations that he had faced in his life without committing any crime . Even his wife didn't believe in him . He got frustrated by thinking all these painful situations that he was ready to kill himself.
If one could be a billionaire by following a how-to guide step by step, you'd have already come across it by now.
Well, the how-to "BE" part is simple; own anything that's worth a billion- an idea, an asset, a skill, anything. It is the how-to reach that milestone that is mystic. Carve your own path to it.
Once you find the secret (IF there is one), share it on Mattrab :P
Or maybe don't ;) let others find their own path.
Time taken (t) = 3 sec
Velocity of sound (v) = 332 m/s
Distance travelled (d) = ?
We know,
d = v x t = 332 x 3 = 996 m
Hence, the source of thunder is about 996 m far from the boy.
Here, f(x)=x2 -6 logx-3=0
f(2)=4-6 log2-3=-0.806
f(3)=9-6 log3-3=3.1373
f(2).f(3)=-0.806*3.1373=-2.529422 which is negative.
Hence, the root lies between 2 and 3
c0 =(2+3)/2=2.5
f(2.5)=6.25-6 log 2.5-3=0.8623
Now
| n | a(-ve) | b(+ve) | cn | f(cn) |
| 0 | 2 | 3 | 2.5 | 0.8623 |
| 1 | 2 | 2.5 | 2.25 | -0.050595 |
| 2 | 2.25 | 2.5 | 2.375 | 0.38664 |
| 3 | 2.25 | 2.375 | 2.3125 | 0.1631658 |
| 4 | 2.25 | 2.3125 | 2.28125 | 0.05506 |
| 5 | 2.25 | 2.28125 | 2.265625 | 0.001925 |
From the table,
f(2.265625)=0.001928<10-2
Therefore, the...
