Asked by Jessica

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by y=x^3, y=1, and the y-axis around the x-axis.

What I did was:
V=ç(0,1)pi(1-x^3)^2 dx
v=pi(x^7/7-x^4/2+x)
and I evaluated it for one since 0 is just going to be 0.

and I got 9pi/14

The answer is wrong, can someone please explain me step by step I really don't know what's wrong.

How about taking the cylinder from 0 to 1 with radius 1 - the region below y = x^3

= π(1^2)(1) - π∫x^3 dx
= π - π[(1/4)x^4 ] from 0 to 1
= π - π(1/4 - 0) = (3/4)π

You interpret the washers wrong. If you have a disc of radius R with a hole in it of radius r, the area is

πR^2 - πr^2, not π(R-r)^2

forgot to square the radius ....

V = π - π∫(x^3)^2 dx
= π - π[(1/7)x^7 ] from 0 to 1
= π - π(1/7 - 0) = (6/7)π
