  1. find the volume of the solid of revolution formed if the area enclosed between the curves y=x² and y=(x-2)² is rotated about the x-axis using integration

Verified Answer :

What you need to do is get hold of the area underneath the curve y=x² from x=1 to x=0. You then spin this area 360 degrees about the x-axis and double the result as there is symmetry between y=x² and y=(x-2)².

Use the formula:

\(Volume=\int _{ a }^{ b }{ \pi { y }^{ 2 } } dx\)

Ok, so let's solve the problem...

\(V=2\int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ \pi { x }^{ 4 } } dx\\ \\ =2{ \left[ \frac { \pi { x }^{ 4+1 } }{ 4+1 } \right] }_{ 0 }^{ 1 }\)

\(\\ \\ =2{ \left[ \frac { \pi { x }^{ 5 } }{ 5 } \right] }_{ 0 }^{ 1 }\\ \\ =2\left\{ \left( \frac { \pi }{ 5 } \right) -\left( 0 \right) \right\} \\ \\ =\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \pi\)

Answer:

\(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \pi\) units cubed.
