    Volumes of Revolution Help

    I got this question as part of my homework: "Find the volume generated when the curve y=e^{x} between x=0.5 and x=1.5 is rotated about the x-axis." (So correct me if I'm wrong, but the equation is V= \pi \int_{0}^{1.5} e^{2x} dx - \pi \int_{0}^{0.5} e^{2x} dx , right?) Going by the above...

    Exponential and Log Function Question Help

    Hi! There's a question I've been quite confused about in the Fitzpatrick textbook: "Calculate the area bounded by y=e^x, the coordinate axes and the textbook at x=2" The working out I did: Area = \int_{0}^{2} (e^x-e^2(x-1)) dx =[e^x-\frac{1}{2}x^2e^2+xe^2]2/0 =e^2-1 I shortened...

    For the common module, our school is required to find a related text to The Merchant of Venice (though it doesn't necessarily need to be connected to the themes in TMOV) that explores, to some extent, these questions: 1. Which individual or collective experiences does it explore? 2. Which human...
