a.
To calculate: The number of rooms that Sybrina can paint and also can paint all the rooms with two coats.
a.

Answer to Problem 29PPS
The Sybrina can then paint a maximum of two rooms in satin if she paints her room and 1 son’s room in satin, her daughter’s room and 1 son’s room in satin or both son’s rooms in satin. She could also paint 1 room in satin is she just paints her room , just her daughter’s room or just one son’s room in satin.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The wall area of bedroom=
The wall area of her daughter’s bedroom =
The wall area of her two son’s bedrooms =
The cost of paint in some of the rooms in satin=
The cost of paint other rooms in flat at
Total budget =
Calculation:
Let x be the number of gallons of satin paint and y be the number of gallons of flat paint. Since each gallon of satin paint is $40 and each gallon of flat paint is $20, the total cost will be
If she paint each room with two coats ,she needs enough paint to cover a total of
So, she can then paint a maximum of two rooms in satin if she paints her room and 1 son’s room in satin, her daughter’s room and 1 son’s room in satin or both son’s rooms in satin. She could also paint 1 room in satin is she just paints her room , just her daughter’s room or just one son’s room in satin.
b.
To write the assumption made to solve this problem.
b.

Answer to Problem 29PPS
One assumption made was that the paint could only be purchased in whole number gallons.
A second assumption was that the paint was the same color for each finish of satin and flat.
A third assumption was that at least one room had to be painted in satin.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The wall area of bedroom=
The wall area of her daughter’s bedroom =
The wall area of her two son’s bedrooms =
The cost of paint in some of the rooms in satin=
The cost of paint other rooms in flat at
Total budget =
Calculation:
One assumption made was that the paint could only be purchased in whole number gallons. If smaller units of paint could have been purchased. Such as pints or quarts, the paint needed would have been smaller and cheaper to buy.
A second assumption was that the paint was the same color for each finish of satin and flat. If the rooms were to be painted different colors, the number of gallons of paint would be higher since the same gallon could not be used to finished painting more than one room in the same finish.
A third assumption was that at least one room had to be painted in satin since the problem stated she wanted to paint some rooms in satin .If all the rooms could have been painted in a flat finish ,there would have been ab additional solution.

Passengers must wait for their cage to be manually cranked into the lowest position in order to exit the ride. Sine function model: where h is the height of the last passenger above the ground measured in feet and t is the time of operation of the ride in minutes. What is the height of the last passenger at the moment of the power outage? Verify your answer by evaluating the sine function model. Will the last passenger to board the ride need to wait in order to exit the ride? Explain.arrow_forward2. The duration of the ride is 15 min. (a) How many times does the last passenger who boarded the ride make a complete loop on the Ferris wheel? (b) What is the position of that passenger when the ride ends?arrow_forward
- 3. A scientist recorded the movement of a pendulum for 10 s. The scientist began recording when the pendulum was at its resting position. The pendulum then moved right (positive displacement) and left (negative displacement) several times. The pendulum took 4 s to swing to the right and the left and then return to its resting position. The pendulum's furthest distance to either side was 6 in. Graph the function that represents the pendulum's displacement as a function of time. Answer: f(t) (a) Write an equation to represent the displacement of the pendulum as a function of time.

(b) Will the last passenger to board the ride need to wait in order to exit the ride? Explain.arrow_forwardThe Colossus Ferris wheel debuted at the 1984 New Orleans World's Fair. The ride is 180 ft tall, and passengers board the ride at an initial height of 15 ft above the ground. The height above ground, h, of a passenger on the ride is a periodic function of time, t. The graph displays the height above ground of the last passenger to board over the course of the 15 min ride.
