Answer:

y= 3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

start with the linear equation formula

y= mx+b

indentify what you already have.

x= -1 and y= 2 and m(slope)= 3

We are solving for b, so plug in what you have.

2= 3(-1)+b

Simplify.

2= -3+b

Add 3 on both sides.

5= b

Rewrite your equation with the x and y values.

y= 3x+5

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,

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

A two digit number when read from left to right to right consiststs of consecutive integers. the nmber is six more than for time

Solnce55 [7]

I suppose you want to know such number. Since we have a two digit number consisting of two consecutive integers, the only possible numbers are:

$12,23,34,45,56,67,78,89$

Since we sorted all the cases out, we simply have to check which one satisfies the requirement. For each number, we'll write four times the the sum of its digits, and add 6, hoping to get the original number.

$\text{Number: } 12,\ \ 4\times \text{sum of digits: } 12\ \ \text{plus six: } 18\neq 12$
