We can use our own, I going to take your advice and use those equations! I couldn't find a curve that looked like that, this is much easier to work with! Thank you so much, this makes my life much easier!

Homework Statement The question asked is to make a bowl out of polynomial equations rotated around the y axis. The bottom of the bowl has to have a maximum at the center and a minimum at some distance from the center. The equations I want to use are x^2+10, 1.3x^2 and -.7x^2 + 4. The...

Yeah I think I'm going to have to do that. Thank you so much for all this help, this forum rocks!

is it possible to do this question without being given the bounds or knowing where the line sits? Because there is no y intercept and I'm not too sure how you would find the volume without enough information to get the area of the original shape

Homework Statement y= -(x/6) + b, find the volume as this solid is rotated 360 degrees around the Y axis Homework Equations If I were given the interval at which I needed to find the volume and/or the value of B I could easily do this using the formula: [pi] Integrate: (R(y))2 dx...
