The number of buckets is directly proportional to the area and the thickness of the wall and inversely proportional to the amount of paint. Mathematically, we can write:
n = k · (a · t) / p
where k is the proportionality constant which we do not know.
We can calculate k with the given data: 5 2-gallon buckets, area of 100 square feet and thickness 3 inches:
k = (n · p) / (<span>a · t)
= (5 </span>· 2) / (100 · 3) = 0.0333
Now that we know the constant, we can calculate the area that can be painted with 8 2-gallon buckets if the thickness is 6 inches:
a = (n · p) / (k<span> · t)
= (8 </span>· 2) / (0.0333 · 6)
= 80 ft²
Please, note that we made sure to have the exact same units of measurements than the previous case.
Therefore, the correct answer is an area of 80 ft².
If you plot the points you can easily find the answer. (X,Y) The x-axis is the horizontal line and the y-axis is the vertical line.
Why not draw the graph of y=|x|? It has a v-shape, and the vertex is at (0,0).
The graph of f(x) = |x| - 3 looks exactly the same, EXCEPT that the whole graph of |x| is shifted 3 units downward. The smallest value that y can have is therefore -3.
Can you now figure out the range of f(x)?
Answer:
3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 is greater than -4, so strictly speaking, a slope of 3 is greater than a slope of -4.
On the other hand, the steepness of a line depends on the absolute value of the slope.
|3| = 3
|-4| = 4
Since 4 > 3, the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.
Answer: 3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.
Given:
y is directly proportional to x.
when 
To find:
The equation that connects y with x.
Solution:
It is given that, y is directly proportional to x. So,
...(i)
Where, k is the constant of proportionality.
We have, when . Substituting these values in (i), we get
Divide both sides by 5.
Substituting 
in (i), we get
Therefore, the required equation is .
