Answer:

describing and explaining behavior and the mind underlying it.

Explanation:

Psychology can be defined as the scientific study of both the consciousness and unconsciousness of the human mind such as feelings, emotions and thoughts, so as to understand how it functions and affect human behaviors in contextual terms.

Hence, all subfields, categories and perspectives within psychology have the same goal of analyzing, describing and explaining the behavior of a living organism such as humans and the mind underlying it, so as to have a better understanding of how they function in a given context.

This ultimately implies that, psychology focuses on studying behaviors and the mind that controls it.

The equilateral triangular cross sections of a solid with base an arch of y = sin(x) on

olga nikolaevna [1]

We can define the base of each equilateral section as $b(x) = \sin(x)$ since this is the distance from the x-axis to the function $y=\sin(x)$ .

An equilateral triangle's area can have a function defined solely by the base. Since all sides are equal, the height of the triangle can be found via pythagorean theorem as: $A(b)=\frac{1}{2}b\sqrt{b^2+\left (\frac{b}{2} \right)^2} = \frac{b}{2}\sqrt{\frac{5b^2}{4}}$

But we know that the base $b(x)$ is a function of x. We also can then state that Area $A(b(x))$ is also a function of x. Specifically: $A(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{2}\sqrt{\frac{5\sin^2(x)}{4}}$ .

Then if we integrate the area function A(x) from 0 to pi, we get the total volume:

$\displaystyle \int_0^{\pi} A(x) dx = \int_0^{\pi} \frac{\sin(x)}{2}\sqrt{\frac{5\sin^2(x)}{4}} dx = \int_0^{\pi} \frac{\sqrt{5} \sin^2(x)}{4}dx$
