there was individual parts so i tried to simplify it. I dont know where to take the integral of a and b at. This is the whole questionEr... can you rephrase this question?
There are two equalities in a line... ><
Damnit, i tried to use the stupid latex thing and failed twice and wasted alot of time haha sorry you are just going to have to read thisthere was individual parts so i tried to simplify it. I dont know where to take the integral of a and b at. This is the whole question
1) Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y = x^3 +2 at the point where x= 1
2) draw a diagram showing the region bounded by the curve, the tangent and the y axis.
3) calculate the volume of the solid generated when this region is rotated about the y axis
it was too tedious to type up so i simplified it. Obviously have to find point of intersection
incorrect. when x=1, y=(1)^3+2=5 already wrong.Damnit, i tried to use the stupid latex thing and failed twice and wasted alot of time haha sorry you are just going to have to read this
1) y=x^3+2
y'=3x^2
when x=1
y'=3
when x=1, y=(1)^3+2=5
.'. the point is (1,5)
using the formula: y-y1=m(x-x1)
we get: y-5=3(x-1)
y-5=3x-3
.'. 3x-y+2=0 is the equation of the tangent
2)You will need to draw the curve and tangent then solve the two simultaneously to find the points of intersection which will become your boundaries a and b
3)Use the formula

The lower limit should be 2. If you draw the diagram, the curve passes the y-axis at y = 2 and thus there is no existing "volume" below y = 2 for that cubic cube, otherwise you are considering the area on the other side of the y-axis.bump for more replies xD
Gna go do work soon...and still cant get the right answer
x = y/3 x^2 = y^2/9
x^3 = y-2 x^2 = (y-2)^(2/3)
V = pi integral 3 and 0 y^2/9 dy - pi integral 3 and 0 (y-2)^(2/3)
= pi [y^3/27 - 3/5(y-2)^(5/3)] between 3 and 0
doesn't get me the answer i need
oh damn got mixed up with the point of intersectionI'm going assume the area referred to is the one in x > 0.

i see the cone now :LI probably should have clarified that the lower limit in the second integral only (i.e. of the cubic curve) is 2. The first integral still has a lower limit of 0.
If you think about it graphically, the volume is found by the volume of the cone of radius 1 and height 3 (when integrating to find the volume enclosed by the linear function) and then subtracting off the volume found by rotating the area bounded by that cubic curve, the y-axis and the line y = 3 about the y-axis.
