Homework Statement
A right circular cone has height 6 cm and base radius 2. It is over-filled with ice cream,
in the usual way. Place the cone so its vertex is at the origin, and its axis lies along the
positive y–axis, and take the cross-section containing the x–axis. The top of this crosssection is a piece of the parabola y = 8 − x2 . The whole filled ice-cream cone is obtained
by rotating this cross-section about the y–axis.
What is the volume of the ice cream?
Homework Equations
y = 8 − x2
The Attempt at a Solution
I have no idea how to work out this question,
but I think where you start off is by integrating y = 8 − x2
so that ends up y = 8x - x3/3
I just don't know how to get to the next step from here.
Many thanks.
