You have decided to wallpaper your rectangular bedroom. the dimensions are 12 feet 6 inches by 10 feet 6 inches by 8 feet 0 inch

es high. the room has two windows, each 4 feet by 3 feet and a door 7 feet by 3 feet. determine how many rolls of wallpaper are needed to cover the walls, allowing 10% for waste and matching. each roll of wallpaper is 30 inches wide and 30 feet long. how many rolls of wallpaper should be purchased?

The wall area is the product of the room perimeter and the room height:
   A₁ = (2*(12.5 ft + 10.5 ft))*(8.0 ft) = 368 ft²

The window and door area together is
   A₂ = 2*((4 ft)*(3 ft)) + (7 ft)*(3 ft) = 45 ft²

The area of one roll of wallpaper is
   A₃ = (2.5 ft)*(30 ft) = 75 ft²

Then the number of rolls of wallpaper required will be
   1.1*(A₁ - A₂)/A₃ ≈ 4.74

5 rolls of wallpaper should be purchased.

_____
As a practical matter, not much of the window and door area can be saved. The rolls are 30 inches wide, but the openings are 36 inches wide. Some will likely have to be cut from two strips. The strips will have to be the full length of the wall, and the amount cut likely cannot be used elsewhere. If the window and door area cannot be salvaged, then likely ceiling(5.4) = 6 rolls will be needed (still allowing 10% for matching and waste).

Find expressions for the partial derivatives of the following functions:
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: partial derivative is the differentiation of one variable e.g. X while leaving the values of the other variable e.g. Y

These four questions A, B, C and D have different functions separated by commas. I will not assume the commas to be something else like a plus sign.

A. f(x) = g'(x).k(y) , g'(x) + h(y)

f(y) = k'(y).g(x) , g(x) + h'(y)

B. f(x) = g'x (x+y)

f(y) = g'y (x+y) , h'y (y+z)

f(z) = h'z (y+z)

C. f(x) = f'x (xy) , f'x (zx)

f(y) = f'y (xy) , f'y (yz)

f(z) = f'z (yz) , f'z (zx)

D. f(x) = f'x (x) , g'(x) , h'x (x,y)

f(y) = h'x (x,y)

These are the partial derivative expressions for each variable in each function. You will need to pay a lot of attention to understand:

* while differentiating X alone, functions in Y which are separated by commas from the functions in X, are ignored totally because they are different questions

* In functions where X added to Y is in a bracket e.g. (x+y), to find the derivative of X, Y isn't thrown away because they are joined (by a plus sign) the derivative of X alone in this case would be f'x (x+y)

* f(x), just like g(x), simply means/represents a function in X hence f'(x) means the differentiation of all X-terms in that function

Construct x such that a/x= x/b
jenyasd209 [6]
\frac{a}{x} =  \frac{x}{b}

From there we can see that because x equals both to a and b, it must be that a = b.
