Find the volume of the described solid.the solid lies between planes perpendicular to the x-axis at x = 0 and x=7. the cross sectionsperpendicular to the x-axis between these planes are squares whose bases run from the parabolay=-31x to the parabola y = 30/x.a) 441b) 147c) 864d) 882

What are the solutions of the system? solve by graphing. y = x^2 + 3x + 2 y = 2x + 2
