Solutions

1) a) the region bounded by y = - x ² and y = x ² – 8
The graphs intersect at (±2, – 4)

.

b) The region bounded by y² = 4 - x, and x + 2y - 1= 0.
The graphs intersect at ( – 5, 3) and (3, – 1).

.

2)

a) y = x 4 , y = 0, x = 1 about x-axis. Using disk method, the volume is	b) y = x 3 + 1, x = 0, y = 2 about y-axis Using shell method, the volume is
c) y = 4x 2,and 4x + y – 8 = 0, about x-axis. The graphs intersect at (-2, 16) and (1, 4).	d) y = x 3, x = 2, y = 0 about y-axis

.

3) When we solve (x + 3) ² = 8 (y – 1) ³ for y, we get f (x) = ½(x + 3) ^{2 / 3} + 1

The arc length formula is , so we need [f '(x)] ²

Now,

We need 1 + [f '(x)] ², which becomes

Notice that the last denominator is a perfect square, so when we take the root, we get

our integral which is

Using the substitution u = 1 + 9(x + 3) ^{2 / 3} and du = 6(x + 3) ^{– 1 / 3} dx, we get

.

4) y ² = 4x and x = 4.

The triangle's base is = its height = 2y
Since area of a triangle is ½bh we get A = ½(4y²) = 2y² = 8x

The volume of the solid is

.

x ² + y ² = 16 is a circle center (0, 0) with radius = 4.

Since area of a rectangle is bh we get A = (2x)(2/3 x) = 4/3 x²

The volume of the solid is

.

6) y = 2x ² and y = 8. Find the volume of this solid if every cross section by a
plane perpendicular to the x-axis is an equilateral triangle.

The line y = 8 and the curve intersect at x = ± 2

The equilateral triangle's base is 8 - y, so we find the height h using
the 30°, 60°, 90° triangle ratios.
This gives us that
Since area of a triangle is ½bh we get

The volume of the solid is
