Can someone have a look at the attached problem . I get the answer 112pi/15 but the document states its 64pi/15, and I can't see where I've gone wrong. Graph:http://imgur.com/epnj7 Problem:http://imgur.com/tgGbq
I dont know the washer method, but there is another way of doing it , but getting the whole cylinder and subtracting the volume of the curve above the y axis.
i got the following integral pi INT[( 2^2 - (2-(1/8)x^2)] between 4 an 0
ok'
wait I have had a little look at these before
I think you might have the integral wrong the wrong way
i 'm not familiar with washer method so i looked it up in a textbook!
oh - well i figured that the R referred to the radius of the cylinder or outer washer that is 2
inner radius is (2 -(1/8)x^2 ) , outer radius is 4
and the second part was the nonshaded area above the curve
exactly
I think you missed a square somewhere
\[= \pi \int\limits_{0}^{4} ( 2^2- ( 2- \frac{1}{8} x^2)^2 dx\]
yes - thats the integral i used
the previous one was a typo
now i calculated that as 112pi / 15
