See attached for a sketch of some of the cross sections.

Each cross section has area equal to the square of the side length, which in turn is the vertical distance between the curve y = √(x + 1) and the x-axis (i.e. the distance between them that is parallel to the y-axis). This distance will be √(x + 1).

If the thickness of each cross section is ∆x, then the volume of each cross section is

∆V = (√(x + 1))² ∆x = (x + 1) ∆x

As we let ∆x approach 0 and take infinitely many such cross sections, the total volume of the solid is given by the definite integral,

\displaystyle \int_{-1}^1 (x+1) \, dx = \left(\frac{x^2}2 + x\right) \bigg|_{-1}^1 = \boxed{2} ~~~~ (B)

54 divided by _____ = -27
Nikitich [7]

54/-2 = -27

First, let's rewrite:

Let x represent the unknown number:

\frac{54}{x}=\text{ -27}

\begin{gathered} \frac{54}{x}\text{ = -27} \\ 54\text{ = -27x} \\ \text{Divide both sides by -27} \\ \frac{54}{-27}=\text{ }\frac{-27x}{-27} \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} 27\times2\text{ = 54} \\ x\text{ = -2  (because we are dividing positive number by a negative number)} \\ So\text{ our answer will be negative} \end{gathered}

Hence, 54/-2 = -27
