EXAMPLE 4 Find the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, and I0 of a homogeneous disk D with density rho(x, y) = rho, center the origin, and radius a. SOLUTION The boundary of D is the circle x2 + y2 = a2 and in polar coordinates D is described by 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, 0 ≤ r ≤ a. Let's compute I0 first: I0 = D (x2 + y2)rho dA = rho 2π 0 a 0 r2 r dr dθ = rho 2π 0 dθ a 0 r3 dr

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
