Homework Statement


A lamina of unit density consists of the region between the two curves [tex]y=\sqrt{4-x^2}[/tex] and [tex]y=1-4x^2[/tex] and the x axis.
Find it's moment of inertia about the x-axis.

Homework Equations


This is the correct answer:
[tex]2\left \{ \int_{0}^{2}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{4-x^2}}}y^2 dy dx - \int_{0}^{1/2}\int_{0}^{1-4x^2}y^2 dy dx \right \}[/tex]
which I do understand.


The Attempt at a Solution


[tex]2\int_{0}^{2}\int_{1-4x^2}^{\sqrt{4-x^2}}y^2 dy dx[/tex]
I don't understand why this is wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Because you only want the moment of inertia BETWEEN the two curves. 1-4x^2 is negative for x>1/2. Sketch a graph of the region you want. You have to split the integral into two parts.
