I think that was too long. I think I made a mistake.
i hate to be the one looking for mistakes, but... how does 4pi/sqrt3*(pi/3) = sqrt3*(pi^2/27)? (in bold)

i think you mean 4pi/sqrt3*(pi/3) = (4sqrt3/9)*(pi^2) ? = [approx.] 7.60

For some reason I confused my binary operators (pi/6+pi/6 = pi^2/36). How anticlimactic.

also, just adding to my last post, i think you have the term (in bold above) in that equation wrong: i think it should be 2@t^3, and not just 2t^3.
yea it is sorry....

I just realised, question 1 was in my last 4u test, except they lead you into it by first sketching y=x/(1-x<sup>2</sup>).
