The area of an equilateral triangle of side "s" is s^2*sqrt(3)/4. So the volume of the slices in your problem is
(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4.
Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have
[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4
= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144.
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...
Okay so we just need to find out the pattern...
in this case the pattern is adding..
we did
1 + 4 = 5
2 + 5 = 12
we figure this one out by adding 2 and 5 twice so it look like this
2 + 5 + 5 = 12
now moving on to our next one
3 + 6 = 21
so we added 3 and added 6, three times so look
3 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 21
so now
8 + 11 = 96 because we added 8 and added 11, eight times look..
8 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 = 96
so our answer to 8 + 11 is 96!
hope this helps:)
and don't forget 2
MARK ME BRAINLIEST! :D
Y would be 16,
y=kx
6=3k
2=k
y=2(8)
y=16
