The base of a solid in the xy-plane is the first-quadrant region bounded y = x and y = x^2. Cross sections of the solid perpendi

cular to the x-axis are equilateral triangles. What is the volume, in cubic units, of the solid?

He area of an equilateral triangle of side "s" is s^2*sqrt(3)/4. So the volume of the slices in your problem is 

<span>(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4. </span>
<span>Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have </span>
<span>[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4 </span>
<span>= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144. </span>

<span>Since this seems quite small, it makes sense to ask what the base area might be...integral from 0 to 1 of (x - x^2) dx = (1/2) - (1/3) = 1/6. Yes, OK, the max height of the triangles occurs where x - x^2 = 1/4, and most of the triangles are quite a bit shorter...

Evaluate 9(n+2) -5n when n=1/4
GrogVix [38]

Replace values of n in expression with 1/4.

9(1/4 + 2) - 5(1/4)

Distributive property

9/4 + 2 - 5/4

Rearrange.

2 + 9/4 - 5/4

Subtract.

2 + 4/4

Simplify.

2 + 1

Please help and thank you. ​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

B the parent function is periodic

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from the graph that

A it is a polynomial

C that is has 3 real root ( where it crosses the x axis)

D that is contains the point (0,-20)  

What is not true is that it is periodic.  That would mean it repeats after a certain time.
