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
Answer is (6,3.2)
The volume of a cube is found by multiplying the length of any edge by itself twice. So if the length of an edge is 4, <span>the volume is 4 x 4 x 4 = 64</span>

Answer:
a) Calculate the probability that at least one of them suffers from arachnophobia.
x = number of students suffering from arachnophobia
= P(x ≥ 1)
= 1 - P(x = 0)
= 1 - [0.05⁰ x (1 - 0.05)¹¹⁻⁰
]
= 1 - (0.95)¹¹
= 0.4311999 = 0.4312
b) Calculate the probability that exactly 2 of them suffer from arachnophobia? 0.08666
= P(x = 2)
= (¹¹₂) x (0.05)² x (0.95)⁹
where ¹¹₂ = 11! / (2!9!) = (11 x 10) / (2 x 1) = 55
= 55 x 0.0025 x 0.630249409 = 0.086659293 = 0.0867
c) Calculate the probability that at most 1 of them suffers from arachnophobia?
P(x ≤ 1)
= P(x = 0) + P(x = 1)
= [(¹¹₀) x 0.05⁰ x 0.95¹¹] + [(¹¹₁) x 0.05¹ x 0.95¹⁰]
= (1 x 1 x 0.5688) + (11 x 0.05 x 0.598736939) = 0.5688 + 0.3293 = 0.8981
