George wants to paint the walls in his room blue. The ceilings are 10 ft tall and a carpet 12 ft by 15 ft covers the floor. One gallon of paint covers 400 and costs $40. One quart of paint covers 100
and costs $15. How much money will he spend on the blue paint?
Rectangle ABCD is shown in the figure above. Points A and B lie on the graph of y = 64 – _x_2 , and points C and D lie on the graph of y = _x_2 – 36. Segments AD and BC are both parallel to the y-axis. The x-coordinates of points A and B are equal to –k and k, respectively. If the value of k changes from 2 to 4, by how much will the area of rectangle ABCD increase?
