volume problem
take the integral from 1-4 of your R which is the equation they give you but squared and times it by pi
This volume problem is an integral. Do you understand what a cross section looks like
integral from 1 to 4
yeah ik the bounds are 1 to 4 but idk what to put in the integral equation
its just the equation they give you but the whole equation is squared so factor it out and then integrate but dont forget the PI
4x^2- x^2 what
\[\pi \int\limits_{1}^{4} (4x-x^2)^2 dx \]
OOH ok is there a reason why its squared tho
its just the way the formula is for these revolution problems its R^2 or R^2-r^2 depending on if there is a whole in the revolution or not
hole*
oh ok thank you so much ! :)
That's what the graph is and if you rotate this about the x-axis each cross section is a circle. What is the area of each circle? pi*r^2, and what is r? radius is given by the height from the x-axis to the curve above...so it changes as you go from x=1 to x=4. Thus your integral you are adding up pi*r^2 and r=given equation, hence the integral above.
no problem im in Calculus right now so glad to share my knowledge helps me prepare :)
:))) hahah it truly did
are u in AP?
yeah im in ap lol
