I have not run into a volume problem that returned a negative value as of yet...until now.
I have the following problems:
Find the volume when the region, in the FIRST quadrant,bounded by y=x^2; y=2-x; and x=0 is:
revolved around the x-axis and then revolved around the line y=2.(a) For the x-axis I got:
v=\pi\int_0^1[(2-x)^2-(x^2)^2]dx
=\pi\int_0^1[4-4x+x^2-x^4]dx
=\pi[4x-2x^2+\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^5}{5}]^1_0=\frac{32\pi}{15}
(b) and for around y=2 I got
v=\pi\int_0^1[(x^2)^2-(2-x)^2]dx
=\pi[\frac{x^5}{5}-4x+2x^2-\frac{x^3}{3}]_0^1=-\frac{22\pi}{15}But I have my doubts about the latter.
Any help is appreciated,
Casey
