Answer:

$1.29 per yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 3 feet in every yard you would divide 9ft by 3 to get 3 yards. So 3 yards of aluminium is 3.87. You would then divide 3.87 by 3 to get the price per yard which is 1.29

Answer:

1.29 a yard

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 3 feet in each yard so 9 divide by 3 would be 3 yards

then you take 3.87 and divided it by 3 you get 1.29 per yard

if you want to check then you just multiply 1.29 times 3 = 3.87

The base of a solid is bounded by the curve y = sqrt (x+1) the x-axis and the line x = 1. the cross sections, taken perpendicula

Andrei [34K]

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,

$\displaystyle \int_{-1}^1 (x+1) \, dx = \left(\frac{x^2}2 + x\right) \bigg|_{-1}^1 = \boxed{2} ~~~~ (B)$
