Homework Statement



Consider the region between the functions f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = 2x in the first quadrant.
Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume generated by rotating about the y axis.
I did this integral
V = 2∏∫x(2x-x^2) dx between [0,2]
I got 2∏((2/3)x^3 - (x^4/4) = 8∏/3

Homework Equations



I think it is OK just want someone to confirm. Before I turn in.

Looks fine to me.
 
Thanks amigo.
 

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
