The walls and ceiling in your bedroom need to be
painted, and the painters’ estimates to do the work are far too
expensive. You decide that you will paint the bedroom yourself.
Below is the information to help you solve the problem:
• The bedroom is 17 ft., 3 in. long by 18 ft. wide, and the ceiling
is 9 ft. high.
• The color of paint you have selected for the walls covers 84
square feet per gallon and costs $31.50 per gallon.
• The inside of the bedroom door is to be painted the same color as
the walls.
• The ceiling will be painted with a bright white ceiling paint
that costs $27.50 per gallon but only covers 73 sq. ft. per
gallon.
• Two coats of paint will be applied to all painted surfaces.
• The room has one window, measuring 3 ft., 3 in. by 4 ft., which
will not be painted.
1. Because different paint lots of the same color may appear
slightly different in color, when painting a room, you should buy
all of your paint at one time and intermix the paint from at least
two different cans so that the walls will all be exactly the same
color. Because all ending values are given in feet, first find the
room dimensions in feet that make a good model for this
situation.
ANSWERS
LENGTH ft.
WIDTH ft.
HEIGHT ft.
Explain your answer here:
2. Using the measurements found above, label the sides in feet
here:
3. Using the formula concepts and dimensions from above, find the
bedroom’s total painted surface area around all of the walls,
including both coats. Do not forget to subtract the window’s area.
Also, double the paint to account for two coats.
Show all step-by-step calculations, including the units of
measurement, and round your final answers to the nearest whole
measurement unit:

ceiling).
Show all step-by-step calculations, including the units of
measurement, and round your final answers to the nearest whole
dollar amount:
ANSWERS

7. Assuming you can paint 100 sq. ft. per hour, what will be the
work time needed to paint your bedroom?

This week we study complex numbers which include an "imaginary" part. This is an unfortunate name, because imaginary numbers can be proven to exist and they are very useful for describing certain physical phenomena. Search for one interesting fact about imaginary numbers. This can be their history, application, etc. Be sure to read through your classmates' postings first, duplicate facts will not count.
a. What is your fact?
b. In your secondary responses to your classmates' facts, endeavor
to expand our knowledge or understanding of how they affect the
world as we know it.

Linear Programming A candy company makes three types of candy, solid-center, fruit-filled, and cream-filled, and packages these candies in three different assortments. A box of assortment I contains 4 solid-center, 4 fruit-filled, and 12 cream-filled candies, and sells for $17.95. A box of assortment II contains 12 solid-center, 4 fruit-filled, and 4 cream-filled candies, and sells for $18.45. A box of assortment III contains 8 solid-center, 8 fruit-filled, and 8 cream-filled candies, and sells for $20.85. The manufacturing costs per piece of candy are $0.01 for solid-center, $0.02 for fruit-filled, and $0.03 for cream-filled. The company can manufacture 4,800 solid-center, 4,000 fruit-filled, and 5,600 cream-filled candies weekly. How many boxes of each type should the company produce each week in order to maximize their profits? What is the maximum profit? *Will thumbs up for correct answer, thank you*

State whether the following statements are true of false. If they are true, give a short justification. If they are false, give a counterexample. For each of the following, P(x) is a polynomial.
(a) If P(x) has only even powers, and P(a) = 0 then x^2 ? a^2 divides P(x).
(b) If P(x) has only odd powers, and P(a) = 0 then x^2 ? a^2 divides P(x).
(c) If P(x) has only even powers, then P(x) has at least one real root.
(d) If P(x) = a7x^7 + a6x^6 + a3x^3 + a0, where ai ? R, ai is not equal to zero, then P(x) has at least one real root.
(e) If P(x) has only even powers, then P(x) has at least one complex root.
(f) If P(x) = a7x^7 + a6x^6 + a3x^3 + a0, where ai ? R, ai is not equal to zero , then P(x) has at least one complex root.

An engineer is designing a stationary parts bin at a work table and considers using an established functional grip reach of 29.55 inches taken from the overall population mean, which was published in a textbook. However, the individuals who work in the facility represent a demographic that the engineer has noticed to be a bit small in stature. She decides to take a small sample to test her theory and randomly selects seven individuals and measures their reach. She comes up with the following data: 27.87, 29.49, 28.34, 28.20, 29.00, 29.56, 27.95 (inches). Calculate a mean and sample standard deviation, and use these values to perform a t-test on this data. Report all of these values. Also, discuss the concept of the p value and whether the data was significantly different from the population mean. Discuss whether the engineer was correct in assuming the reach of the worker population may be less than the population mean.
