3. Suppose R is the region in the plane bounded below by the curve y = x² and
above by the line y = 1.
a) Sketch R. Set up and evaluate an integral that gives the area of R.
b) Suppose a solid has base R and the cross-sections of the solid perpendicular to
the y-axis are squares. Sketch the solid and find its volume.
c) Suppose a solid has base R and the cross-sections of the solid perpendicular to
the y-axis are equilateral triangles. Sketch the solid and find its volume.
4. Start with the region A in the first quadrant enclosed by the x-axis and the
parabola y = 2x(2-x). Then obtain solids of revolution S₁, S2, and S3 by revolving
A about the lines y = 4, y = -2, and x = 4 respectively. All three solids are
(unusual) "doughnuts" which are 8 units across, whose hole is 4 units across, and
whose height is 2 units. Sketch them.
a) Which do you expect to have larger volume, S₁ or S₂? Compute their volumes
exactly and check your guess.
b) Compute the volume of S3. (It may be harder to guess in advance how S3
compares in volume to S2 and S₁.)
