1. ## Need help with computing the volume of a solid by revolving lines

How do you compute the volume of a solid formed by revolving the given region about the lines?

the directions are:

compute the volume of the solid formed by revolving the given region about the line

region bounded by y=2x, y=2 and x=0 about (a) the y-axis; (b) x=1

It has to be solved with a definite integral
V=∫A(x)dx,a,b

A start for a) $\int \pi \frac{y}{2}^2dy=\frac{\pi}{4} \int y^2dy= \frac{\pi y^3}{12}$

A start for b) $\int \pi-\pi \frac{y}{2}^2 dy=\pi \int dy - \frac{\pi}{4} \int y^2dy=\pi y-\pi \frac{y^3}{12}$

Can you finish it off?

3. Thats what i needed thank you so much

No problem, what did you get for the final results?

5. (a) 2(pi)/3

(b) 4(pi)/3

$a)\int^2_0 \pi \frac{y}{2}^2dy=\frac{2 \pi }{3}$

$
b)\int^2_0 \pi-\pi \frac{y}{2}^2dy=2 \pi-\frac{2 \pi }{3}=\frac{4 \pi }{3}$
