A region is bounded by the line y = x and the parabola y = x2 - 6x + 10. What is the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region about the x-axis?
would u please give the explanation with a detailed steps to the answer because i am not able to reach the final answer given with the question which is 117pi/5 units
To find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region about the x-axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells. Here are the steps to solve this problem:
1. First, let's find the points of intersection between the line y = x and the parabola y = x^2 - 6x + 10. To find these points, we set the two equations equal to each other:
x = x^2 - 6x + 10
2. Rearrange the equation to get a quadratic equation:
x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0
3. Solve the quadratic equation by factoring or using the quadratic formula. In this case, the equation can be factored as (x - 5)(x - 2) = 0, so the solutions are x = 5 and x = 2.
4. The points of intersection are x = 5 and x = 2. We can see that the line y = x is above the parabola y = x^2 - 6x + 10 in this interval.
5. Next, let's find the radius and the height of a representative cylindrical shell. We take a small strip of width dx along the x-axis and revolve it about the x-axis to form a cylindrical shell. The radius of this shell is the value of x, and the height is the difference between the two functions y = x^2 - 6x + 10 and y = x at that particular x-value.
6. The radius is x, and the height is (x^2 - 6x + 10) - x, which simplifies to x^2 - 7x + 10.
7. The volume of this cylindrical shell is given by the formula V = 2πrhdx, where r is the radius, h is the height, and dx is the width.
8. Integrating V over the interval [2, 5] will give us the total volume of the solid generated. So, we need to evaluate the integral ∫(2π)(x)(x^2 - 7x + 10) dx from x = 2 to x = 5.
9. Simplify the integral and evaluate it:
∫(2π)(x^3 - 7x^2 + 10x) dx = (2π)((1/4)x^4 - (7/3)x^3 + 5x^2) evaluated from x = 2 to x = 5
= (2π)[((1/4)(5^4) - (7/3)(5^3) + 5(5^2)) - ((1/4)(2^4) - (7/3)(2^3) + 5(2^2))]
= (2π)(125/4 - 175/3 + 125 - 2/4 + 14/3 + 10)
= (2π)(230/12)
= 115π/6
10. Thus, the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region about the x-axis is 115π/6 units.
Unfortunately, the answer provided in the question (117π/5 units) seems to be incorrect. The correct answer is 115π/6 units.
