Two boats depart from a port located at (–10, 0) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers, and they travel in a positive x-

direction. the first boat follows a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (0, 5), and the second boat follows a path that can be modeled by a linear function and passes through the point (10, 4). at what point, besides the common starting location of the port, do the paths of the two boats cross? (–6, 0.8) (–6, 3.2) (6, 3.2) (6, 0.8)

To get the points at which the two boats meet we need to find the equations that model their movement:
Boat A:
vertex form of the equation is given by:
f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k
where:
(h,k) is the vertex, thus plugging our values we shall have:
f(x)=a(x-0)^2+5
f(x)=ax^2+5
when x=-10, y=0 thus
0=100a+5
a=-1/20
thus the equation is:
f(x)=-1/20x^2+5

Boat B
slope=(4-0)/(10+10)=4/20=1/5

thus the equation is:
1/5(x-10)=y-4
y=1/5x+2

thus the points where they met will be at:
1/5x+2=-1/20x^2+5
solving for x we get:
x=-10 or x=6
when x=-10, y=0
when x=6, y=3.2

Completed question:

In the game of tic-tac-toe, if all moves are performed randomly the probability that the game will end in a draw is 0.127. Suppose six random games of tic-tac-toe are played. What is the probability that at least one of them will end in a draw?

Answer:

0.557

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, the probability of not end in a draw is 1 - 0.127 = 0.873. Thus, because each game is independent of each other, the probability of all of them not end in a draw is the multiplication of the probability of each one:

0.873x0.873x0.873x...x0.873 = 0.873⁶ = 0.443

Thus, the probability that at least one of them end in a draw is the total probability (1) less the probability that none of them en in a draw:

1 - 0.443

0.557

Solving equations with variables on both sides <br><br><br> 7+9x=6x-2
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Here

Step-by-step explanation:

We move all terms to the left:

7+9x-(6x-2)=0

We get rid of parentheses

9x-6x+2+7=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3x+9=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

3x=-9

x=-9/3

x=-3
