A volume of revolution 2012-07-15
From Tewodros:
Let f(x) = e^x and g(x) = x^1/2 both be defined on [0,1]. Consider the region bounded by f(x), g(x), x = 0, x = 1. Rotate this region about the y-axis and determine the volume using the shell method.

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:
