What is the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the curves y = x^2 and y = 4 - x^2 about the x-axis?
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the curves y = f(x) and y = g(x) about the x-axis is given by the formula V = π∫[f(x)]^2 - [g(x)]^2 dx. Substituting f(x) = x^2 and g(x) = 4 - x^2, we get V = π∫(x^2)^2 - (4 - x^2)^2 dx = π∫x^4 - 16 + 8x^2 dx = π[(1/5)x^5 - 16x + (8/3)x^3] + C, where C is a constant. Evaluating the integral from x = -2 to x = 2, we get V = π[(1/5)(2)^5 - 16(2) + (8/3)(2)^3 - (1/5)(-2)^5 + 16(-2) - (8/3)(-2)^3] = π[(32/5) - 32 + (64/3) - (32/5) + 32 - (64/3)] = π(64/3).

-
\(\frac{2}{3}\) square units
-
\(1\) square unit
-
\(\frac{3}{2}\) square units
B
Correct answer
Explanation
To find the area of the region, we need to find the points of intersection of the two curves. Setting (y = x^2) and (y = 2x + 1) equal to each other, we get: (x^2 = 2x + 1) which gives (x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0). Solving for (x), we get (x = 1) and (x = -1). Therefore, the area of the region is: (Area = \int_{-1}^{1} (2x + 1 - x^2) dx = \left[x^2 + x - \frac{x^3}{3}\right]_{-1}^{1} = \left[(1)^2 + (1) - \frac{(1)^3}{3}\right] - \left[(-1)^2 + (-1) - \frac{(-1)^3}{3}\right] = \frac{2}{3}) square units.

-
\(\frac{24\pi}{3}\) cubic units
-
\(\frac{32\pi}{3}\) cubic units
B
Correct answer
Explanation
To find the volume of the solid, we can use the formula: (Volume = \pi \int_{a}^{b} [f(x)]^2 dx), where (f(x)) is the function that defines the upper boundary of the region and ([a, b]) are the limits of integration. Plugging in the values of (f(x) = 2 - x) and ([a, b] = [0, 2]), we get: (Volume = \pi \int_{0}^{2} (2 - x)^2 dx = \pi \left[2x - \frac{x^3}{3}\right]_{0}^{2} = \pi \left[(2)(2) - \frac{(2)^3}{3} - (2)(0) - \frac{(0)^3}{3}\right] = \frac{16\pi}{3}) cubic units.
Find the area of the region bounded by the curves (y = x^2 - 4x + 3) and (y = x - 1).
C
Correct answer
Explanation
To find the area of the region, we need to find the points of intersection of the two curves. Solving (x^2 - 4x + 3 = x - 1), we get (x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0). Factoring, we get ((x - 1)(x - 4) = 0). Therefore, the points of intersection are ((1, 0)) and ((4, 3)). The area of the region is given by the integral (\int_1^4 (x^2 - 4x + 3) - (x - 1) \ dx). Evaluating the integral, we get (\frac{8}{3}).
