Answer:

a. 85.5 sq ft

b. 3 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The cardboard is rectangular in shape. How much he needs to paint is the same as the cardboard that he needs to paint.

The area of a rectangle is given as:

A = L * B

where L = length and B = breadth

Therefore, the area of the cardboard having dimensions 14 1/4 feet by 6 feet is:

A = 14 1/4 * 6

A = 57 / 4 * 6 = 85.5 sq feet

He needs to paint 85.5 sq feet of the cardboard.

b. On bottle of paint covers 40 sq feet. The number of bottles he will need for his backdrop will be the area he needs to paint divided by the amount of paint that can cover 40 sq feet:

85.5 / 40 = 2.14

Since the number of bottles he will need is a whole number and its greater than 2, then it must be 3.

To paint the entire cardboard, he must have 3 bottles of paint.

Find a set of parametric equations for y= 5x + 11, given the parameter t= 2 – x

Sati [7]

Answer:

$x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $y = 5\cdot x + 11$ and $t = 2-x$ , the parametric equations are obtained by algebraic means:

1) $t = 2-x$ Given

2) $y = 5\cdot x +11$ Given

3) $y = 5\cdot (x\cdot 1)+11$ Associative and modulative properties

4) $y = 5\cdot \left[(-1)^{-1} \cdot (-1)\right]\cdot x +11$ Existence of multiplicative inverse/Commutative property

5) $y = [5\cdot (-1)^{-1}]\cdot [(-1)\cdot x]+11$ Associative property

6) $y = -5\cdot (-x)+11$ $\frac{a}{-b} = -\frac{a}{b}$ / $(-1)\cdot a = -a$

7) $y = -5\cdot (-x+0)+11$ Modulative property

8) $y = -5\cdot [-x + 2 + (-2)]+11$ Existence of additive inverse

9) $y = -5 \cdot [(2-x)+(-2)]+11$ Associative and commutative properties

10) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) + (-5)\cdot (-2) +11$ Distributive property

11) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) +21$ $(-a)\cdot (-b) = a\cdot b$

12) $y = (-5)\cdot t +21$ By 1)

13) $y = -5\cdot t +21$ $(-a)\cdot b = -a \cdot b$ /Result

14) $t+x = (2-x)+x$ Compatibility with addition

15) $t +(-t) +x = (2-x)+x +(-t)$ Compatibility with addition

16) $[t+(-t)]+x= 2 + [x+(-x)]+(-t)$ Associative property

17) $0+x = (2 + 0) +(-t)$ Associative property

18) $x = 2-t$ Associative and commutative properties/Definition of subtraction/Result

In consequence, the right answer is $x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$ .
