Which of the following solids have a volume=the integral of 2x dx from 0 to 2 ? I. A solid whose base is a region bounded by y=x/2, y=-x/2 and x = 2, whose cross-sections are perpendicular to the x-axis are squares. II. A four-sided pyramid whose base is a square with area 4 and whose height is 2. III. A solid formed when the region bounded by the x-axis, y=x/2 and x = 2 is revolved about the x-axis.
1) I 2) II 3) II and III 4) I and II 5) I, II, and III
You can immediately eliminate the third option because a solid of revolution will tend to have a volume in terms of \(\pi\) if the function in question is not, which means (3) and (5) can't be right.
Here's a sketch of the base of the solid described in (I) |dw:1399853741661:dw|
