Let R be the region in the first quadrant bounded below by the graph of $y = x^2$ and above by the graph of
$y=x$. R is the base of a solid whose cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are squares
\item What is the volume of the solid?
A 0.129
B 0.300
C 0.333
D 700
E 1.271ok I didnt understand what "square area" meant

I would first write:

$$dV=(x-x^2)^2\,dx=(x^2-2x^3+x^4)\,dx$$

Hence:

$$V=\int_0^1 x^2-2x^3+x^4\,dx=\frac{1}{30}$$

This seems to be none of the given choices.
 
probably C 0.033 after adjusting the typo

so that was how the squares is implemented 🐮
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
