# Thread: I do not understand or get these problems?

1. ## I do not understand or get these problems?

Yeah.. Homework help. I seriously do not understand it even though I am following exact procedures and made sure I wasn't wrong, but I'm still wrong? I'm on my last submission for my online homework in order to get points and I would like to get it right.. But I don't understand it?

Please show all your working so that you can be pointed in the right direction.

3. well for the 1st one..

i take the integral of π r^2 from [0,2] and I get 8.378 as my answer(im sure this is right.. but im wrong)

as for the 2nd one

i take the integral of 4(3-3x^2) from [-1,1] and after calculation i get 24. still wrong though

I will point you in the right direction for #1:

$\displaystyle V = \pi \int_3^5 x^2 \, dy$. An exact answer is probably required.

5. Sorry. I forgot to say I tried that integral as well and I got 98π/3.. But my answer was still wrong.

In my first reply I bold faced the word "all" for a very good reason. Show all your work, every step.

7. those were the only 2 integrals I tried. Both of them are wrong and Im still confused because I'm sure I did everything right.

8. I finally got the answer to the first problem! But I still can't do the second one.

I will point you in the right direction: $\displaystyle V = \int_0^3 (2x)^2 \, dy$.

Your job is to understand where this has come from and what to do with it.
