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)

If i roll 2 dice what is the probability that neither of them are prime nor even?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

There are 3 prime numbers shown on the die: 2, 3 and 5. The probability of showing a prime number on a single die is 1/2, hence the probability of not showing a prime number is also 1/2. Total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled = 6*6 = 36. Total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled = 6*6 = 36.

A woman starts out walking due north for 2 miles, and then she turns due west and continues for another 2 miles. How far from he
Mrac [35]
For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
 We have:
 Length of the sides of the triangle.
 We want to find:
 Length of the hypotenuse.
 Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:
 d ^ 2 = 2 ^ 2 + 2 ^ 2

 d =  \sqrt{2 ^ 2 + 2 ^ 2} 

d =  \sqrt{4 + 4} 

d =  \sqrt{8} 

d =  2\sqrt{2} 

 Answer:
 
She is:
 
d = 2\sqrt{2}
 miles far from her starting point

Show all work <br> Find exact value of x
Illusion [34]

Answer:

129 is x

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation would be like this x= 45 + 6=180 (180 because the sum of the angle measures in a triangle is 180 always)

so once you add 45+6 =51 the equation is now x=51=180 so you subtract 51 from both sides so it equals as this x=51=180

                                                                                         x =-51= -51

                                                                                         x=         129
