The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break down the process: ### Step 1: Identify the Intersection Point The lines given are \(x = n\) and \(y = n^3\). The intersection point \(A_n\) can be found by substituting \(n\) into both equations. - **Intersection Point**: \[ A_n = (n, n^3) \] ### Step 2: Find the Slope of the Line Parallel to \(x + y = 0\) The line \(x + y = 0\) can be rewritten as \(y = -x\), which has a slope of \(-1\). A line parallel to this will also have a slope of \(-1\). ### Step 3: Write the Equation of the Line Through \(A_n\) Using the point-slope form of the line equation, where the point is \(A_n(n, n^3)\) and the slope is \(-1\): - **Equation of the Line**: \[ y - n^3 = -1(x - n) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ y = -x + n + n^3 \] ### Step 4: Find the X-Intercept of the Line To find the x-intercept, set \(y = 0\): \[ 0 = -x + n + n^3 \] Solving for \(x\): \[ x = n + n^3 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Length of the Intercept \(l_n\) The length of the intercept \(l_n\) on the x-axis is the absolute value of the x-intercept: - **Length of the Intercept**: \[ l_n = n + n^3 \] ### Step 6: Sum \(l_n\) from \(n = 1\) to \(5\) We need to compute: \[ \sum_{n=1}^{5} l_n = \sum_{n=1}^{5} (n + n^3) \] This can be split into two separate sums: \[ \sum_{n=1}^{5} n + \sum_{n=1}^{5} n^3 \] ### Step 7: Calculate Each Sum 1. **Sum of the first 5 natural numbers**: \[ \sum_{n=1}^{5} n = \frac{5(5+1)}{2} = \frac{5 \times 6}{2} = 15 \] 2. **Sum of the cubes of the first 5 natural numbers**: \[ \sum_{n=1}^{5} n^3 = \left(\frac{5(5+1)}{2}\right)^2 = 15^2 = 225 \] ### Step 8: Combine the Results Now, combine the results of the two sums: \[ \sum_{n=1}^{5} l_n = 15 + 225 = 240 \] ### Step 9: Relate to \(K\) According to the problem, we have: \[ \sum_{n=1}^{5} l_n = K^4 - 16 \] Setting this equal to our calculated sum: \[ 240 = K^4 - 16 \] Solving for \(K^4\): \[ K^4 = 240 + 16 = 256 \] Taking the fourth root: \[ K = 4 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(K\) is: \[ \boxed{4} \]
