Need help finding region bounded by the curve y=sqrt(x). medal and fan (:
notes
yeah ill be rotating around the y axis for the first question so I have to use this formula
am i integrating from 0 to 4?
Yup, to find the area.
Sorry, I got that picture wrong....
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
so im doing \[\int\limits_{0}^{4}\pi(y^2)^2dy\]
Yes that works.
but i get 4piy^4
You have: \[\int\limits_{0}^{4}\pi*y ^{4}dy= \pi*\int\limits_{0}^{4}y ^{4}dy\]
Then you take the integral of that and put in the limits and you get your answer.
ok got it. thanks! my last question would be rotating around the x-axis
so im using the washer formula correct?
Yes you would be, because the answer would have a hole in the middle.
\[\int\limits_{a}^{b}\pi((upper limit)^{2}-(lower limit)^{2})^{2}dy\] Right? and the upper and lower limits are with respect to the x axis.
ok so upper limit is y^2
lower limit..?
Look at the area that you are solving for.|dw:1404341002588:dw| My first drawing was wrong sorry about that.
