Question

find the volume of a solid with cross-sectional area (1/4x^2+4x+5) lying between the planes x=0 and x=0.5

Answer 1

Integrate between 0 and 0.5

Answer 2

shouldn't it be a double integral as it is a volume not an area

Answer 3

Since this is adding up area, we'd only need single integral.The function represent the area

Answer 4

oh ok

Answer 5

if yu were eistein+newton+gallileo..shouldnt yu know this??

Answer 6

lol

Answer 7

finding the integral is a bit hard I guess. 4x^2+4x+5=4(x^2+x+5/4)=
=4(1 + (x+1/2)^2)

Answer 8

now you can see that the it looks nearly like 1/(1+x^2)

Answer 9

do you see the solution now or should I still help?

Answer 10

The person who asked the question is no longer around

Answer 11

ok than I just worked with it for fun :-)

Answer 12

wait i should try it out il then il tell you what i get...
