Thank you. From now on, I will include my work for reference. As you can see, I do know (to a degree) what I am doing. However, my practice instructions aren't always very clear on how to carry out these problems so I look for a second opinion to back me
This is precisely why I posted, I thought that the wording of this practice problem might make sense to someone else, because it completely confused me. After a lot of thinking, I figured that the solid of revolution was a hemisphere. It was created by
Here is what I have so far: Radius = 1/(x^3) Area of Cross Section = pi(1/(x^3))^2 Simplified: pi(1/(x^6)) Volume = (definite integral from 1 to 3) pi(1/(x^6)) = pi( -1 / 5(3)^5) - pi(-1 / 5(1)^5) = pi (-1 / 1215) - pi (-1 / 5) = pi(242 / 1215) =
