Hmm. I have tried many combinations (I am on attempt 37), to no avail. I have tried (x^(2/5)) as well.

Here is a picture of the problem: http://i.imgur.com/0usxa.png

The integral is not pi(x^(1/5)^2) or pi(x^(1/5))

Could you tell me how you did it? I have to enter the integral for the answer.

It is saying correct for dx and incorrect for dy. I am sure you could do it both ways, but they clearly want me to use dx.

Thanks so much for helping me. I have spent far too much time working on this problem!

Yes, I did mean pi, sorry about that. Thanks for the reply! On "WebWork" (the software my school uses) we are required (for this homework) to report it all as one integral. I have drawn out the two "interpretations" I had of this problem and took a photo of it. I hope it is clear enough to...
