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)

A 35 pound dog eats an average of 2 1/2 cups of dry dog food a day. If you assume that there is a relationship between size and
zimovet [89]
70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.

2 x 2.5 = 5 cups

Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.

By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.

Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.

Kathy slices through a circular cake. The cake has a diameter of 14 inches. The slice that Kathy made is straight and has a leng
Tanzania [10]

Answer: chord

Step-by-step explanation:

A chord is a straight line that's typically drawn from one particular edge of a circle to another.

In this case, the diameter is 14cm while the length of the line drawn is 11cm, therefore the diameter isn't a chord. It's not a radius as well as the diameter divided by 2 gives the radius which should be 7cm.

Therefore, it's a chord.

Joseph's uncle wants to put shingles on the outside walls and solar panel the roof of his barn shown at the right. It costs $2.5
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, the measurement of the roof is 5 m by 9 m on  both sides. Hence:

Area of roof = 2 (5 * 9) = 90 m²

Since solar panels cost $4.00 per square meter, therefore:

Cost of solar panels = $4.00 per square meter * 90 m² = $360

The area of the front wall of the barn = (8 m * 7 m) + (1/2 * 8 m * 3 m) - (4 m * 4 m) = 52 m²

The area of the back wall of the barn = (8 m * 7 m) + (1/2 * 8 m * 3 m) = 68 m²

Area of each side wall of barn = 9 m * 7 m = 63 m²

Total area of wall = 52 m² + 68 m² + (2 * 63 m²) = 246 m²

Cost of shingles = $2.50 for each square meter * 246 m² = $615

Total cost of project = $615 + $360 = $975
