Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains a calculus problem that reads:
"Find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the curves y = x^3 and y = 5x about the line x = 3."
Solution:
To find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region bounded by and about the line , we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
Step 1: Set up the integral for the volume using the cylindrical shells method.
The volume using the cylindrical shells method is given by:
Where:
- (difference between the functions)
Step 2: Determine the bounds of integration.
We need to find the intersection points of the curves and :
This gives:
However, since we're dealing with the region bounded by and , we will integrate from 0 to .
Step 3: Set up the integral.
Step 4: Expand and integrate.
Expanding the integrand:
The integral becomes:
[ V = 2\
