Tanya runs a catering business. Based on her records, her weekly profit can be approximated by the function LaTeX: f\left(x\righ

t)=2x^2-44x-150 f ( x ) = 2 x 2 − 44 x − 150 , where LaTeX: x x is the number of meals she caters. If LaTeX: f(x) f ( x ) is negative, it means that the business has lost money. What is the number of meals that Tanya needs to cater in order to break-even?

The function

2x^2-44x-150

is a parabola concave up, whose solutions are

2x^2-44x-150=0 \iff x^2-22x-75=0

from here, you can use the quadratic formula

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

to find that the solutions of the parabola are -3,\ 25

So, the parabola is positive if x (which wouldn't make sense in our case) or x

So, if Tanya caters 25 meals she breaks even, and starting with the 26th meal she will begin to profit.

Answer:

  1. 150π ft²
  2. 10π ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the sector :

Area (sector) = \pi r^{2} \times \frac{\theta}{360^{o}}

Finding the area given r = 30 ft. and θ = 60° :

⇒ Area = π × (30)² × 60/360

⇒ Area = π × 900/6

⇒ Area = 150π ft²

===========================================================

Length of the arc :

Length (arc) =2 \pi r} \times \frac{\theta}{360^{o}}

Finding the arc length given r = 30 ft. and θ = 60° :

⇒ Arc Length = 2 × π × 30 × 60/360

⇒ Arc Length = 60/6 × π

⇒ Arc Length = 10π ft.
