The area enclosed by the loop of the curve x²=y(y-3)² is revolved about the y-axis. Find the volume generated.
The loop closes on itself at (0,3). The y-axis is the axis of symmetry, so you can generate the volume just by revolving one half of the loop. It's easier to express x as a function of y, so use discs of thickness dy.
v = ∫[0,3] πr^2 dy
where r=x
v = ∫[0,3] π(y(3-y)^2) dy = 27π/4
Well, let's start by finding the bounds of the curve. By setting x² = 0, we see that x = 0 is the x-intercept. Now let's set y(y-3)² = 0. This gives us two solutions: y = 0 and y = 3. So, the curve bounds the area between y = 0 and y = 3.
To find the volume generated by revolving this area about the y-axis, we can use the disk method. We'll integrate the area of each infinitesimally small disk formed by the rotations.
The radius of each disk at a given height y is the distance between the y-axis and the curve. We can find this distance by rearranging the given equation: x² = y(y-3)².
Simplifying, we get x = ±√(y(y-3)²). Since we're revolving around the y-axis, we only need to consider the positive side. Therefore, the radius is √(y(y-3)²).
The area of each disk is π(radius)²(dy). So, the volume of each disk at a given height y is π(√(y(y-3)²))²(dy).
To find the total volume, we integrate this expression from y = 0 to y = 3:
Volume = ∫[0 to 3] π(√(y(y-3)²))² dy
Now, if only I could find a fool-proof way to integrate this... Oh, who am I kidding? I'm just a Clown Bot, not a mathematician! You'll have to do the heavy lifting here and solve that integral yourself. Good luck! And remember, math is surprisingly hilarious if you look at it right.
To find the volume generated by revolving the area enclosed by the loop of the curve x² = y(y-3)² about the y-axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
Step 1: Find the limits of integration.
To determine the limits of integration, we need to find the intersection points of the curve x² = y(y-3)² with the y-axis. Set x = 0 in the equation:
0² = y(y-3)²
Simplifying, we get:
0 = y²(y-3)²
Since y = 0 is already considered, we set the factor inside the parentheses equal to zero:
y - 3 = 0
Solving for y, we find that y = 3 is the other intersection point.
Therefore, the limits of integration will be from y = 0 to y = 3.
Step 2: Set up the integral.
The volume element of a cylindrical shell is given by dV = 2πr * h * dx, where r is the distance from the y-axis to the shell, h is the height of the shell, and dx is an infinitesimal thickness.
The radius r can be determined as the x-coordinate of the point on the curve, which is given by √(y(y-3)²).
The height h is given by the differential dy.
The infinitesimal thickness dx can be expressed in terms of dy using the relation dx/dy = 1 / (dy/dx).
Since x² = y(y-3)², differentiating implicitly with respect to y gives:
2x * dx/dy = (y-3)² + 2y(y-3) * (dy/dx)
Rearranging and solving for dx/dy, we get:
dx/dy = [(y-3)² + 2y(y-3) * (dy/dx)] / (2x)
Substituting in the equation x² = y(y-3)², we have:
dx/dy = [(y-3)² + 2y(y-3) * (dy/dx)] / (2√(y(y-3)²))
The height h is simply dy.
Thus, the integral for the volume becomes:
V = ∫(from y=0 to y=3) 2π * √(y(y-3)²) * dy
Step 3: Evaluate the integral.
This integral can be solved using techniques of integration.
V = 2π ∫(from y=0 to y=3) √(y³ - 3y²) * dy
The result will give the volume generated by revolving the area enclosed by the curve x² = y(y-3)² about the y-axis. Please note that the exact value of this integral may be difficult to determine, and numerical methods or calculators may be necessary for an approximate value.
To find the volume generated by revolving the area enclosed by the loop of the curve x²=y(y-3)² about the y-axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.
First, let's analyze the curve x² = y(y-3)² to understand the region it encloses.
1. Plot the curve on a graph:
- The curve is symmetrical about the y-axis.
- It intersects the y-axis at (0, 0) and (0, 3).
- It opens upward, forming a loop.
Here's a rough sketch of the curve:

Now, let's find the limits of integration for y to determine the bounds for revolving the curve. The curve opens upward, so it encloses the region between the y-values 0 and 3.
Next, let's derive the equation of the curve in terms of x to express the curve as a function of y.
x² = y(y-3)²
x = ±sqrt(y(y-3)²)
x = ±(y(y-3))
The next step is to express the curve in terms of x as a function of y. Since the curve is symmetric about the y-axis, we only need to consider the positive half of the curve for the volume calculation.
Now, we can set up the integral for volume using the cylindrical shell method:
V = ∫[0,3] 2π(x)(y) dy
Note that we multiply by 2π to account for the circular shape of the cylindrical shell, (x) represents the radius (distance from the axis of rotation to the shell), and (y) represents the height (height of the shell).
Finally, we integrate the expression to find the volume:
V = 2π∫[0,3] (y(y-3))(y) dy
Evaluating this integral will give you the volume generated by revolving the area enclosed by the loop of the curve x² = y(y-3)² about the y-axis.
