Destiny of Pi Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Hi guys, I have a question on Calculus and it has two sub-questions. It would be great if any of you could help me solve this. Sub-question 1, do I equate the equation to y equals something and then solve? And I have no idea on how to solve the second sub-question.

kw0573 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) sub q 1: know what formula to use for revolution around x axis (int of pi y^2 dx from x=a to x=b) and express y^2 in terms of x. sub q 2: this is hl, it seems. use V around y-axis (int of pi x^2 dy from y=a to y=b) however note there is a large hole in the middle of the resulting solid. Give it a shot! Now that you know the formula, you should be able to derive the integral using intersection of graphs and inverse functions.

This is what I got for sub 1: int (x^2-9) dy 1/3 x^3 - 9x and the answer if 110. for sub 2, still don't know how to work out the hole in the middle, this is what I got so far: int (9+y^2) dx - int sqrt(9+y^2) dx I wonder what should I do next.

kw0573 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) 1) Leave in exact form (n pi). I got a different answer, 44/3 pi, which is about 46. 2) This is HL. You need to integrate over dy (not dx), see formula i gave in previous response. May this diagram help Edited May 2, 2017 by kw0573 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
