Alright, this one is a little interesting... Let's perform some tests to figure out what is happening:
f(-10) = -(1/(-10)^3) = -(1/-1000) = 1/1000  (positive)
f(-5) = -(1/(-5)^3) = -(1/-125) = 1/125 (positive, bigger than the last one)
f(-1) = -(1/(-1)^3) = -(1/-1) = 1 (positive, bigger than the last one)
f(-0.1) = -(1/(-0.1)^3) = -(1/-0.001) = 1/0.001 = 1000 (positive, bigger than the last one)
f(0) = -(1/0^3) = undefined!
f(0.1) = -(1/(0.1)^3) = -(1/0.001) = -1/0.001 = -1000 (negative)
f(1) = -(1/1^3) = -(1/1) = -1 (negative, but bigger than last one)

It's a little confusing with the undefined part at x = 0. What I can say is this, it is increasing from -10 up to 0, something weird happens at 0 and it resets, and starts increasing from 0 up to 0.1. 

I guess A would be the best answer?

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)

What does K=Y/X stand for and mean?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(k = y/x) which is the constant ratio between two proportional quantities y/x denoted by the symbol k which may be a positive rational number. The x value is directly proportional to the y value such as in the equation y = kx.

Step-by-step explanation:

the meaning of it means constant of proportionality
