Volume of solid Definition and 73 Threads

First, I tried to find the equation of line passing through (2, 0) and (0, 3) and I got ##y=3-\frac{3}{2}x## Then I set up equation for the area of one slice, ##A(x)## $$A(x)=\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2$$ $$=\frac{1}{2} \pi \left( \frac{1}{2}y\right)^2$$ $$=\frac{1}{2} \pi...

I found this problem, which I thought was interesting and somewhat original: Calculate the volume of the solid of revolution of the area between the line ##y = x## and the parabola ##y = x^2## from ##x = 0## to ##x = 1## when rotated about the axis ##y = x##.
