Question

Is it possible to find an example of a bounded region in the x, y plane that satisfies the following condition : when you revolve the region about the x axis you obtain a solid that has a volume equals its surface area

yes :)
do you want me to cite an example?

Answer 5

sorry i haven't replied to your reply earlier. anyway, here's an example:

there are many possible examples for this. but since we need to calculate volume (V) and surface area (SA), we choose a figure where its V and SA can easily/readily be calculated.
for instance we want to generate a shape of a cylinder,, note that this only requires a line parallel to x-axis (but not passing through x-axis) so that if it's revolved about the x-axis, it becomes a cylinder, or y = c, where c = any real number except zero. now we only need to find the bounds. for simplicity, let's choose one of the bounds as the origin.
recall that the V and SA of a cylinder is given by
V = π(r^2)*h
SA = 2πrh + 2πr^2
where r is radius and h = height
then we choose a value for V and SA . let's choose, for instance, 100 :
V = 100 = π(r^2)*h
SA = 100 = 2πrh + 2πr^2
since there are two equations, two unknowns, by substitution, we get two pairs of answers:
(i) r = 2.218 ; h = 20.327
(ii) r = 5.696 ; h = 3.08219
here, let's just choose (i).
when the equation y = c is revolved, the cylinder generated has a symmetry on x-axis (like it's lying/rolling on the floor). thus the radius is the y-coordinate and height is the x-coordinate. therefore y = c becomes
y = r = 2.218
with bounds from origin (0,0) to its height (20.327, 0)

hope this helps~ :)

Answer 6

thank you alot for your help I was really worried because i have to submit the answer tomorrow and i could not do any thing without your help
thank you again

Answer 7

you're welcome~ :)
by the way, i just want to make a correction. fro the value of V and SA, it's not 100, it should be 100*pi = 314.16 . sorry i forgot the pi, because i cancelled it right away, but the answers for r and h is still the same. i'll just retype the correction:
...then we choose a value for V and SA . let's choose, for instance, 100*pi :
V = 100*pi = π(r^2)*h
SA = 100*pi = 2πrh + 2πr^2
...and the rest are correct.

so, the value of V and SA for the dimensions (i) and (ii) we got is equal to 100*pi or 314.16, not 100. sorry~ :P
