The area of the ellipse
is given by

To use Green's theorem, which says

(
denotes the boundary of
), we want to find
and
such that

and then we would simply compute the line integral. As the hint suggests, we can pick

The line integral is then

We parameterize the boundary by

with
. Then the integral is


###
Notice that
kind of resembles the equation for a circle with radius 4,
. We can change coordinates to what you might call "pseudo-polar":

which gives

as needed. Then with
, we compute the area via Green's theorem using the same setup as before:






This one's simple..
B) -8 units
Is this what you need or? Y= 1/4x +3
If this were to be graphed, the independent variable would be the price of the ticket for the rides. The dependent variable would be the total cost.
The fair admission is not a variable because it is a constant price for every single person who goes into the fair.
The problem asks to use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets. In order to fully write out the equation, we have to figure out what the fair admission costs.
43.75 = 1.25(25) + b
*b represents the fair admission
Multiply 1.25 by 25
43.75 = 31.25 + b
Subtract 31.25 to find what b costs.
12.50 = b
The fair admission costs $12.50.
Solution: y = 1.25x + 12.50
