Answer:

Expression is 8(n+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

smallest of 4 consecutive odd numbers =2n + 1

consecutive odd integers are found by adding 2 to the any given odd numbers

Thus, 2nd consecutive odd integers  = 2n + 1 + 2 = 2n + 3

3rd consecutive odd integers  = 2n + 3 + 2 = 2n + 5

2nd consecutive odd integers  = 2n + 5 + 2 = 2n + 7

Thus, 4 consecutive odd integers are

2n + 1 ,2n + 3,2n + 5,2n + 7

sum of these numbers are = 2n + 1 +2n + 3 + 2n + 5+2n + 7 = 8n+16

sum of these numbers are = 8(n+2)

Thus, we see that the sum of numbers are 8(n+2)

As, 8 is common for n+2, whatever is value of n, the number will be multiple of 8 .

thus expression is 8(n+2)

Find the area lying above the x-axis and below the parabolic curve y = 4x -x2 A. 8 B. 16 C. 10 2/3 D. 8 1/3
dimaraw [331]
To find the area between the x-axis and the parabolic curve, take the integral of the area in which the curve is above the x-axis.
function of the graph is
y = 4x - x²
We can tell by the function (specifically -x²) that the parabola will point downward.
To find the domain in which y>0, let's find the roots (0's) of the function:
0 = 4x - x²
0 = x (4 - x) 
x = 0 or x = 4
Between x=0 and x=4, the curve is above the x-axis. To find the area of the graph, let's take the integral on this range:

First, take the antiderivative of 4x - x²:
2x² - (1/3) x³
Then, plug x=4 into the anti-derivative, and subtract the anti-derivative at x=0:
2(4)² - (1/3)(4³) - (0 - 0)
32 - 64/3
96/3 - 64/3 = 32/3
