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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the following integral pi INT[( 2^2 - (2-(1/8)x^2)] between 4 an 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait I have had a little look at these before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you might have the integral wrong the wrong way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i 'm not familiar with washer method so i looked it up in a textbook!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh - well i figured that the R referred to the radius of the cylinder or outer washer that is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

inner radius is (2 -(1/8)x^2 ) , outer radius is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the second part was the nonshaded area above the curve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you missed a square somewhere

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[= \pi \int\limits_{0}^{4} ( 2^2- ( 2- \frac{1}{8} x^2)^2 dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes - thats the integral i used

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the previous one was a typo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i calculated that as 112pi / 15
