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)

Match the expression to its simplified form.
omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5³ = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125

2^{5} = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32

5^{-2} = \frac{1}{5^{2} } = \frac{1}{25}

2^{-4} = \frac{1}{2^4} = \frac{1}{16}
