I have my topic test soon and there are some integration questions where i keep getting the answer wrong, especially for ques that mentions "rotates around y axis" .

1.The region in the first quadrant bounded by the graphs of f(x)=1/8x^3 and g(x)= 2x is rotated about the y axis. Find the volume of the solid so formed.

Answer should be: 107.233 c. units

2. The curve x^2=16-4y^2 is rotated about the y axis. Find the volume of the generated solid.

Answer: 128pi/3 c. units

y=1/8x3
y=2x
Limits y=0 and 8
int{0to8}pi[1/4y2-4y2/3]dy
=pi[1/12y3-12/5y5/3]{0to8}
=pi[0-(-512/15)]
=512/15pi u3

Limits y=-2 and 2
2int{0to4}pi[16-4y2]dy
=2pi[16y-4/3y3]{0to2}
=2pi[0-(-64/3)]
=128/3pi u3

Edit: Answer only covered the top half of the ellipse

This is such a stupid ques but how did you get the limits 0 and 8 for the 1st ques?
Find the point of intersection in the first quadrant, and use the y coordinate of that intersection

:D I get it now~! :rofl:

Are you sure that your answer for q 2 is right?? The answer in the textbook says 128pi/3 c. units.

I'm not trying to get you guys to do my hw for me but i really can't work this question out:

y= 2square root (1-x^2) and y=square root (1-x^2) intersect at (1,0) and (-1,0), find the volume enclosed in this region and rotated around 1) x axis and 2) the y axis.

Is this meant to be a semi-circle or something?

its an ellipse with a semi-sphere of radius 1 cutout.

y=2sqrt(1-x2) is an ellipse, this turns out to be above the unit circle. So when finding the volume, subtract the volume formed by rotating circle from the volume formed by rotating the ellipse.

Let y1=2sqrt(1-x2) and y2=sqrt(1-x2)

V=∫pi[y12 - y22] dx

Now substitute in your y's and integrate the rest. Hope that helps.

Hijacking post - sorry.

Help, need to check my working and answers :)

1) Find d/dx of 2sinx+√x

d/dx= 2cosx+ 1/√x

2) ∫(cosx+5x2) dx

= sinx + 5x3/3

3) 0∫1(1+e-x) dx

= [x-e-x]01
=(1-e-1)-(e0
= |-0.368|
= 0.368units2

THanks in advance :):) :)

1.
Answer should be
2cosx+1/2(x-1/2)

2. Correct when
sinx+5x3/3+C

3.
Answer should be
2-e-1
