Document Summary
Summer 2014: (a) (12 pts) let r be the region between the curve y = 1 x, the x-axis and the y-axis. Determine the volume of the solid whose cross sections in r, perpendicular to the y axis, are squares. Be sure to evaluate the integral(s) involved. (b) (12 pts) a cup is formed by rotating the region between y = 0, y = 9, x = 0 and the line y = 2x 1 about the y axis. Using cylindrical shells, set up but do not evaluate the integral(s) representing the volume of the cup. Solution: (a) since we are working with cross-sections perpendicular to the y-axis, we will use dy. The area for a square is a = l2. For this problem, l will be the distance from the y axis to the curve y = 1 x or x = 1 y2.
