A volume of revolution 2012-01-11
From john:
find volume of solid generated by revolving the region in the first quadrant bounded by the curve y squared=x cubed, the line x=4 and the x-axis about the line y=8. The answer in the back of the book is 704 pi divided by5

A volume of revolution 2007-04-08
From christina:
find the volume of the solid formed when region bounded by y=x/3, y=2 and the y-axis. it is revolved about the x-axis.

the assignment was to use both the washer method and the shell method but when i solved for the volume, i got different answers. i think my shell method is wrong because i know i'm having difficulties with using "dy" instead of "dx" here's my work so far:

Volumes of Revolution 1998-07-24
From Lorraine Wall:
I'm on the section fpr The Computation of Volumes of Solids of Revolution and the following question is giving me problems:

-Consider the region in the first quadrant bounded by the x-and y-axes, the vertical line x=3, and the curve y=1/(xsquared + 3) I can determine the volume of the solid by rotating the region about the y-axis using the shell method but I can't seem to be able to get started with the volume when rotated about the x-axis.
