find volume that is under z = 4x and over area D that is being blocked by y=x^2 y=0 and x=1

for y = 0 x must be 0 because y = x^2

so x will go from 0 to 1

y will go from 0 to x^2

but what about z? Will it go from 0 to 4x or should I say

z = 4x
y = x^2

that means y = z^2/16 => z = +/-4y

so z will be from -4y to 4y

here are the integrals

thanks in advance

The first form is incorrect. y is not equal to x^2 throughout the region, only at the top boundary. z=4x on the entire region so the second integral is correct.
 
thank you again i don't know what happened to the pictures, they suddenly disappeared (wolfram alpha deleted them too)

thanks
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
