Answer:

8 * (7 + 4)

See process below

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by writing each number in PRIME factor form:

56 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 7

32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

Notice that the factors that are common to BOTH numbers are 2 * 2 * 2 (the product of three factors of 2).Therefore we see that the greatest common factor for the given numbers is : 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

Using this, we can write the two numbers as the product of this common factor (8) times the factors that are left on each:

56 = 8 * 7

32 = 8 * 2 * 2 = 8 * 4

We can then use distributive property to "extract" that common factor (8) from the given addition as shown below:

56 + 32

8 * 7 + 8 * 4

8 * (7 + 4)

8 * (11)

Use the Shell Method to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating region under the graph of f(x)=x^2+2 for 0≤x≤5 about x

Irina18 [472]

For each x in the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 5, the shell at that point has

• radius = 5 - x, which is the distance from x to x = 5

• height = x ² + 2

• thickness = dx

and hence contributes a volume of 2π (5 - x) (x ² + 2) dx.

Taking infinitely many of these shells and summing their volumes (i.e. integrating) gives the volume of the region:

$\displaystyle 2\pi \int_0^5 (5-x)(x^2+2)\,\mathrm dx=2\pi\int_0^5 (10-2x+5x^2-x^3)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac{925\pi}6}$
