The base of a solid V is the region bounded by y=(x^2/64) and y=sq(x/8) Find the volume if V has square cross sections

To find the volume of the solid V using square cross sections, we need to integrate the area of each square cross section from the base to the top of the solid.

Let's determine the limits of integration first. Since the base of solid V is the region bounded by the curves y = (x^2/64) and y = sqrt(x/8), we need to find the x-values where these two curves intersect.

Setting the two equations equal to each other and solving for x:

(x^2/64) = sqrt(x/8)
x^2 = 64 * sqrt(x/8)^2
x^2 = 8x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x(x - 8) = 0

So, x = 0 or x = 8.

Now that we have the limits of integration, we need to express the area of each square cross section in terms of x.

Since the cross sections are square, the area of each cross section is just the square of the side length, which we'll call "s".

To find s in terms of x, we need to identify the side length of the square at each x-value. Since the base of solid V is the region bounded by the curves y = (x^2/64) and y = sqrt(x/8), the side length at each x-value is equal to the difference of the two curve values at that x-value, i.e., s = sqrt(x/8) - (x^2/64).

Therefore, the area of each square cross section is A(x) = (sqrt(x/8) - (x^2/64))^2.

Now, to find the volume of solid V, we integrate A(x) from x = 0 to x = 8:

V = ∫[0 to 8] (sqrt(x/8) - (x^2/64))^2 dx.

Evaluating this integral will give you the volume of solid V.
