Answer:
The formula to find the volume of a cube : s^3 so
S=40 cm
Now
by the formula,
40^3
64000
Let's start from what we know.

Note that:

(sign of last term will be + when n is even and - when n is odd).
Sum is finite so we can split it into two sums, first

with only positive trems (squares of even numbers) and second

with negative (squares of odd numbers). So:

And now the proof.
1) n is even.
In this case, both

and

have

terms. For example if n=8 then:

Generally, there will be:

Now, calculate our sum:



So in this case we prove, that:

2) n is odd.
Here,

has more terms than

. For example if n=7 then:

So there is

terms in

,

terms in

and:

Now, we can calculate our sum:




We consider all possible n so we prove that:
For this case, the first thing to do is to graph the following ordered pairs:
(-6, -1)
(-3, 2)
(-1,4)
(2,7)
We observe that the graph is a linear function with the following equation:
y = x + 5
Note: see attached image.
Answer:
The function that best represents the ordered pairs is:
y = x + 5
