Jessica and Martha each have a bag of cookies with unequal quantities. They have 30 cookies total between the two of them. Each

of them ate 6 cookies from their bag. The product of the number of cookies left in each bag is not more than 80.
How many more cookies will Jessica have Martha?
If x represents the number of cookies Jessica started with, complete the statements below.

The inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has is x^2 - ____ x +224 >= 0.
Jessica has at least ____ cookies more than Martha.

Answer:

Part 1) The inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has is $x^{2} -30x+224\geq 0$

Part 2) Jessica has at least 2 cookies more than Martha

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has

Let

x----> the number of cookies when Jessica started

30-x ----> the number of cookies when Martha started

we know that

Each of them ate 6 cookies from their bag

so

The cookies left in each bag are

(x-6) ----> Jessica

and (30-x-6)=(24-x) ---> Martha

The product is equal to (x-6)(24-x)

The product of the number of cookies left in each bag is not more than 80.

so

$(x-6)(24-x)\leq 80\\ \\24x-x^{2}-144+6x\leq 80\\ \\-x^{2} +30x-144-80\leq 0\\ \\-x^{2} +30x-224\leq 0$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$x^{2} -30x+224\geq 0$

Part 2) Solve the quadratic equation

$x^{2} -30x+224\geq 0$

Solve by graphing

The solution is x=16 cookies

so

(30-x)=30-16=14 cookies

therefore

The number of cookies when Jessica started was 16 cookies

The number of cookies when Martha started was 14 cookies

The number of cookies left in each bag is equal to

Jessica

16-6=10 cookies

Martha

14-6=8 cookies

Jessica has at least 2 cookies more than Martha

Major arc CBD measures 300°Which is the radian measure of its corresponding central angle?

This question is not complete.

Complete Question

Major arc CBD measures 300°. Which is the radian measure of its corresponding central angle?

a)4pi/3 radians

b) 5pi/6 radians

c) 5pi/3 radians

d) 11pi/6 radians

Answer:

c) 5pi/3 radians = 5π/3 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding central angle can be defined as the angle that is formed when there is a joining together of two radii at the center of the circle.

The circumference of a circle is given as

360° = 2πr

The major arc CBD is 300°

Therefore,

360° = 2πr , radius is not given hence , 360° = 2π

300° = Y (Unknown)

Cross multiply

360Y= (300× 2π)

Y = 600π ÷ 360

Y = (5π÷ 3) radians

Y = 5π/3 radians

Hence the radian measure for the corresponding angle is = 5π/3 radians

The number of calls coming per minute into a hotel reservation center is Poisson random variable with mean 3.

natima [27]

Answer:

a) 0.05

b) 0.9826

c) 0.000039308

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $P_X(0) = \frac{e^{-3}3^0}{0!} = e^{-3} = 0.05$

b) For two minutes, the mean is doubled, hence it is 6. In order to calculate the probability of al least two calls arriving, we calculate first the probability of the complementary event: At most 1 call will arrive. For that probability, we need to sum the probabilities of 0 and 1.

$P_X(0) = e^{-6}$

$P_X(1) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^1}{1!} = 6*e^{-6}$

Hence,

$P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X < 2) = 1- 7*e^{-6} = 0.9826$

c) For five minutes the mean is 15. We need to sum the probabilities of 0, 1 and 2.

$P_X(0) = e^{-15}$

$P_X(1) = e^{15}*15$

$P_X(2) = \frac{e^{-15}*15^2}{2!} = 112.5*e^{-15}$

As a result,

$P(X \leq 2) = e^{-15}(1+15+112.5) = 0.000039308$
