Homework Statement
Determine the volume of a sold obtained by rotating the region bounded by y=x^2-2x and y=x about the line y =4
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Let:
y1 = x
y2 = x^2 - 2x.
v be the volume.
y1 and y2 meet where:
x^2 - 2x = x
x^2 - 3x = 0
x(x - 3) = 0
x = 0, x = 3.
The straight line is closer to y = 4 than the parabola between x = 0 and x = 3.
v = pi int(0, 3)[ (y2 - 4)^2 - (y1 - 4)^2 ] dx
= pi int(0, 3) [ (x^2 - 2x - 4)^2 - (x - 4)^2 ] dx
= pi int(0, 3) [ x^4 + 4x^2 + 16 - 4x^3 + 16x - 8x^2 - x^2 - 16 + 8x ] dx
= pi int(0, 3) [ x^4 - 4x^3 - 5x^2 + 24x ] dx
= pi [ x^5 / 5 - x^4 - 5x^3 / 3 + 12x^2 ](0, 3)
= pi [ 3^5 / 5 - 3^4 - 5 * 3^3 / 3 + 12 * 3^2 ]
= 30.6 pi.
