TopicVolumes of Revolution
TypeRotation about x-axis: polynomial or root function
DifficultyModerate -0.5 This is a straightforward volume of revolution question requiring direct application of the standard formula V = π∫y²dx with a simple power function. The integration of 9x^(1/2) is routine, and evaluating between clear limits requires only basic technique with no problem-solving insight needed. Slightly easier than average due to the clean power and simple arithmetic.

The shaded region is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the lines \(x = 1\) and \(x = 4\). Find the volume of the solid obtained when this shaded region is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis, giving your answer in terms of \(\pi\).
