Question

I keep getting 0 as the volume? Giving a medal to whoever can explain it to me correctly!

Find the volume of the solid whose base is bounded by the lines F(x) = 1-x/2 , g(x) = -1+x/2 , and x=0. The cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are equilateral triangles.

Answer 1

f(x) is this?
\[\Large f(x) = \frac{1-x}{2}\]
or this?
\[\Large f(x) = 1-\frac{x}{2}\]

Answer 2

It's \[1-x/2\] and \[-1+x/2\]

Answer 3

so those 1s aren't part of the fraction?

Answer 4

the base of the solid is this triangle shaded
