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)

The sum of two numbers is 41. The larger number is one less than twice the smaller number. Find the numbers.
fgiga [73]

Answer:

14 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=41

y=2x-1

x+(2x-1)=41

3x-1=41

3x=42

x=14

y=2(14)-1=27
