The answer would be 901 because they said what is the least number they would need to read and their goal is MORE than 900. The amount of books that they already had is useless information (Ignore). They love giving trick questions. :)
The sample space for the 3 different music CDs is as follows:
{JPR, JRP, PJR, PRJ, RJP, RPJ}
<span>ABCD is a parallelogram.
Looking at the quadrilateral ABCD, the first thing to do is to determine if the opposite sides are parallel to each other. So let's check that by looking at the opposite sides.
Line segment BA. When you go from point B to point A, you move to the right 1 space, and down 4 spaces. So the slope is -4. Looking at line segment CD, you also move to the right 1 space and down 4 spaces, which also means a slope of -4. So those two sides are parallel. When you compare line segments BC and AD, you'll notice that for both of them, you go to the right 5 spaces and up 2 spaces, so those too are parallel. So we can now saw that the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we now need to check if it's a rectangle (we know it can't be a square since the sides aren't all the same length). An easy way to test if it's a rectangle is to check of one of the angles is 90 degrees. And if we draw a line from B to D, we can create a triangle ABD. And in a right triangle, due to Pythagora's theorem we know that A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where A is the line segment AB, B is the line segment AD and C is the line segment BD. So let's calculate A^2, B^2, and C^2.
A^2: Line segment AB. We can construct a right triangle with A = 1 and B = 4. So C^2 = 1^2 + 4^2 = 1 + 16 = 17. So we have an A^2 value of 17
B^2: Line segment AD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 5. So C^2 = 2^2 + 5^2 = 4 + 25 = 29. So we have an B^2 value of 29
C^2: Line segment BD. We can construct a right triangle with A = 2 and B = 6. So C^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 36 = 40. So we have a C^2 value of 40.
Now let's check if the equation A^2 + B^2 = C^2 is correct:
17 + 29 = 40
46 = 40
And since 46 isn't equal to 40, that means that ABCD can not be a rectangle. So it's just a parallelogram.</span>
The set of two-digit primes is {11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97}
Of that list, the following primes are mirror images of each other
13 and 31
17 and 71
37 and 73
79 and 97
Note: we ignore 11 since 11 flips to 11 which is not distinct from its original
If you're looking for the largest prime of this form, then its 97
If you're looking for the largest gap, then subtract each pair
31-13 = 18
71-17 = 54
73-37 = 36
97-79 = 18
We see that 71 and 17 have the largest gap
