cylindrical shells
the problem says rotate about the x-axis
these are the two equations given: x+y=3 AND x-4=-(y-1)^2
To use the method of cylindrical shells, we need to find the volume of the solid formed when the given region is rotated about the x-axis.
First, let's graph the region formed by the given equations: x + y = 3 and x - 4 = -(y - 1)^2.
To graph the equation x + y = 3, rearrange it to solve for y: y = 3 - x. This equation represents a straight line with a y-intercept of 3 and a slope of -1.
Now, let's graph the equation x - 4 = -(y - 1)^2. To simplify this equation, take the square root of both sides: y - 1 = ±√(-x + 4). Solving for y, we have two equations: y = 1 + √(-x + 4) and y = 1 - √(-x + 4). These equations represent two parabolas, opening upwards, with the vertex at (4,1).
Next, find the points of intersection of these two equations. Substitute y in the first equation with the expression for y in the second equation, and solve for x: 3 - x = 1 + √(-x + 4) and 3 - x = 1 - √(-x + 4).
To solve this equation, we'll attempt to eliminate the square root. Square both sides of the equation:
(3 - x)^2 = (1 + √(-x + 4))^2
(3 - x)^2 = (1 + √(-x + 4))(1 + √(-x + 4))
(3 - x)^2 = 1 + 2√(-x + 4) + (-x + 4)
(3 - x)^2 - 1 - 4 = 2√(-x + 4)
(3 - x)^2 - 5 = 2√(-x + 4)
Now, square both sides again to eliminate the remaining square root:
[(3 - x)^2 - 5]^2 = [2√(-x + 4)]^2
[(3 - x)^2 - 5]^2 = 4(-x + 4)
[(3 - x)^2 - 5]^2 = 4x - 16
Expand the squares:
[9 - 6x + x^2 - 5]^2 = 4x - 16
[4 - 6x + x^2]^2 = 4x - 16
(4 - 6x + x^2)(4 - 6x + x^2) = 4x - 16
16 - 24x + 4x^2 - 24x + 36x^2 - 6x^3 + 4x^2 - 6x^3 + x^4 = 4x - 16
Combine like terms:
x^4 - 12x^3 + 44x^2 - 48x + 16 = 0
Unfortunately, solving this equation for x analytically is quite complicated. However, we can solve this numerically using a graphing calculator or software.
