OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah ill be rotating around the y axis for the first question so I have to use this formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i integrating from 0 to 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, to find the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I got that picture wrong....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, so its the upper region, and because you are integrating by dy you would be integrating from 0 to 4, and you the equation would be: x = y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so im doing \[\int\limits_{0}^{4}\pi(y^2)^2dy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i get 4piy^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have: \[\int\limits_{0}^{4}\pi*y ^{4}dy= \pi*\int\limits_{0}^{4}y ^{4}dy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you take the integral of that and put in the limits and you get your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got it. thanks! my last question would be rotating around the x-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so im using the washer formula correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you would be, because the answer would have a hole in the middle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{a}^{b}\pi((upper limit)^{2}-(lower limit)^{2})^{2}dy\] Right? and the upper and lower limits are with respect to the x axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so upper limit is y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lower limit..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at the area that you are solving for.|dw:1404341002588:dw| My first drawing was wrong sorry about that.
