TopicVolumes of Revolution
TypeRotation about y-axis, region between two curves
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a solid of revolution problem requiring integration about the y-axis with two different functions. Students must express x in terms of y for both curves (x = √(y/2) and x = 3-y), set up the volume integral V = π∫[x₂² - x₁²]dy with correct limits, and perform algebraic manipulation before integration. The multi-step nature, need to handle two regions, and careful setup of the washer method make this moderately challenging, though the actual integration is routine once set up correctly.
Spec4.08d Volumes of revolution: about x and y axes

Fig. 6 shows the region enclosed by part of the curve \(y = 2x^2\), the straight line \(x + y = 3\), and the \(y\)-axis. The curve and the straight line meet at \(P(1, 2)\). \includegraphics{figure_1} The shaded region is rotated through \(360°\) about the \(y\)-axis. Find, in terms of \(\pi\), the volume of the solid of revolution formed. [7]
