Homework Statement
Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the x-axis.
y= 4x2, y=-2x+6
Homework Equations
y= 4x2, y=-2x+6These 2 equations meet at x= -3/2 and x=1
integral from a to b of (2∏x*f(x)) dx
The answer is 250pi/3.
The Attempt at a Solution
Been spending over an hour with this and can't figure out a way to figure this out by shells. I can do this by discs and got the answer right. However, I want to figure this out by shells. First I drew the graph of these 2 equations to find where they meet at. I then did this:
[itex]\int^{-3/2}_{1}[/itex] 2[itex]\pi[/itex]x((-2x-6)-(4x2)) dx
I put this in Wolfram and I did not get the intended answer. I work this out by hand and I am getting something very different from Wolfram. Guidance please! Thanks in advance.
