I tried using the theorem of Pappus. Is \(\displaystyle \pi/6\) incorrect?
How did you get your answer?
The formula for finding the volume of a region between two curves is V = ∫(upper function - lower function) dx. In this case, the upper function is y=x and the lower function is y=-x²+2x. So, the formula becomes V = ∫(x - (-x²+2x)) dx.
The limits of integration for finding the volume of a region between two curves are the x-values where the two curves intersect. In this case, we set y=x equal to y=-x²+2x and solve for x. The solutions will be the limits of integration.
No, the volume of a region is always a positive value. It represents the amount of space within the region and cannot be negative.
No, the volume of a region between two curves cannot be found using geometry alone. It requires the use of calculus and integration to find the exact value.
The units for the volume of this region will depend on the units of measurement for the x and y axes. For example, if the x-axis is measured in meters and the y-axis is measured in meters squared, then the units for the volume will be meters cubed (m³).
