The region bounded by y=x^2, x=y^2 is rotated about the line y=-3.
The volume of the resulting solid is:
To find the volume of the resulting solid when the region bounded by the curves y = x^2 and x = y^2 is rotated about the line y = -3, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
First, let's sketch the region and the line of rotation to better understand the problem.
The region bounded by y = x^2 and x = y^2 is the region between the curves. It looks like a petal-shaped region in the first and second quadrants.
The line y = -3 is a horizontal line that is parallel to the x-axis, located 3 units below it.
To use the method of cylindrical shells, we need to take a thin vertical strip of width dx from the region and rotate it around the line y = -3. This forms a thin, hollow cylindrical shell. We can calculate the volume of each shell and then integrate to find the total volume.
Let's set up the integral to find the volume.
The height of each shell can be represented by the difference in y-values between the curves:
h = (y^2) - (x^2)
The radius of each shell can be represented by the distance between the line of rotation y = -3 and the curve y = x^2.
r = y + 3
The differential volume of each shell can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylindrical shell:
dV = 2πrh dx
To find the total volume, we integrate the differential volume over the region of interest.
V = ∫(2πrh) dx
Now, we need to determine the limits of integration for x.
To find the limits of integration, we equate the two curves:
y = x^2
x = y^2
Setting x = y^2, we get:
y^2 = y^4
Rearranging this equation, we get:
y^4 - y^2 = 0
Factoring out y^2:
y^2(y^2 - 1) = 0
Solving for y, we get two solutions:
y = 0, y = 1
Therefore, the limits of integration for x are 0 to 1.
Now, we can substitute the expressions for the radius and height into the integral:
V = ∫(2π(y+3)(y^2 - x^2)) dx, with the limits of integration from 0 to 1.
Evaluating this integral will give us the volume of the resulting solid.
To find the volume of the solid formed by rotating the region bounded by the curves y=x^2 and x=y^2 about the line y=-3, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
First, let's sketch the curves y=x^2 and x=y^2 to see the region we're working with.
The curve y=x^2 is a parabola opening upward and the curve x=y^2 is a parabola opening to the right. They intersect at the point (1, 1).
Now, let's find the limits of integration for x. Since the curves intersect at (1, 1), we can write the limits as x=1 to x=√y.
Next, let's write the equation for the radius of the cylindrical shell. The distance between the line y=-3 and the point (x, y) on the curves is given by r = y - (-3) = y + 3.
The height of the cylindrical shell is given by the difference of the y-values of the curves at a given x. This can be written as h = x^2 - y^2.
The infinitesimal volume of a cylindrical shell, dV, is given by dV = 2πrh dx.
Now, let's integrate the equation for the volume V with respect to x, using the limits of integration:
V = ∫[1 to √y] 2π(y+3)(x^2 - y^2) dx
Simplifying, we get:
V = 2π ∫[1 to √y] (xy^2 + 3x^2 - y^3 - 3y) dx
Integrating with respect to x, we get:
V = 2π [ x(y^2/2) + x^3 - (y^3/3) - 3xy ] evaluated from 1 to √y
Plugging in the limits of integration and simplifying, we get:
V = 2π [ (√y)(y^2/2) + (√y)^3 - (y^3/3) - 3(√y)y ] - [ (y^2/2) + (1)^3 - (1^3/3) - 3(1) ]
V = 2π [ y^(5/2)/2 + y^(3/2) - y^3/3 - 3y^(3/2) ] - [ y^2/2 + 1 - 1/3 - 3 ]
V = 2π [ y^(5/2)/2 + y^(3/2) - y^3/3 - 3y^(3/2) ] - (y^2/2 - 2/3)
V = 2π [ (y^(5/2)/2 + y^(3/2) - y^3/3 - 3y^(3/2)) - (y^2/2 - 2/3) ]
V = 2π [ -y^3/3 - y^(3/2)/2 - y^2/2 + 3y^(3/2) + 2/3 ]
The final volume formula is:
V = 2π [ -y^3/3 - y^(3/2)/2 - y^2/2 + 3y^(3/2) + 2/3 ]
Therefore, the volume of the resulting solid is given by the above equation.
