Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around setting up integrals to find the volume of regions using the method of cylindrical shells. The specific functions involved are y=x^2 and y=x, as well as y=2-x and y=x^2, with rotations about the x-axis and a vertical line.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to verify the setup of integrals for calculating volumes of solids of revolution without needing to evaluate them. They express uncertainty about their previous attempts and seek confirmation on their current setups.

Discussion Status

Some participants have confirmed the correctness of the integrals set up by the original poster. The discussion appears to have provided a sense of validation for the approaches taken, although no further exploration of the concepts or methods has been noted.

Contextual Notes

The original poster mentions a quiz context and expresses a desire to focus on the conceptual understanding rather than simplification or evaluation of the integrals.

Could someone verify these integrals (no text:()

I got these integrals wrong on a quiz I just took. Looking back, I am not quite sure what I was thinking:/ But I have reworked them and would like know if I have the integrals set up properly; I don't need to evaluate them...just set them up:

Set up the integral to find the Volume by Cylindrical Shells of the region enclosed by [tex]y=x^2[/tex] and [tex]y=x[/tex]

rotated about:

x-axis: [tex]V=2\pi\int_0^1y(\sqrt{y}-y)dy[/tex]

y-axis [tex]V=2\pi\int_0^1x(x-x^2)dx[/tex]

and the region enclosed by y=2-x, y=x^2 in the 1st quadrant rotated around x=3: [tex]V=2\pi\int_0^1(3-x)(2-x-x^2)dx[/tex]

I know these can be simplified, but I am not concerned with that, just the concept.

Thanks,
Casey

I would really appreciate if some one could verify these.
 
all 3 are correct.
 
Thanks bob. I have an Exam on Monday!
