Steps

Step 1 :Let R be the region bounded by the following curves. Find the volume of the solid generated when R is revolved about the y-axis.

Step 2 :y=x,y=4x,y=16

Step 3 :Set up the integral that gives the volume of the solid. (Type exact answers.)

Step 4 :The volume of a solid of revolution can be found using the disk method or the shell method. In this case, since we are revolving around the y-axis, the shell method is more appropriate. The shell method formula is:

Step 5 :V=2πabr(x)h(x)dx

Step 6 :where r(x) is the distance from the axis of rotation to the shell (in this case, x), and h(x) is the height of the shell (in this case, 4x - x = 3x). The limits of integration a and b are the y-values where the curves intersect, which in this case are 0 and 16.

Step 7 :So the integral we need to set up is:

Step 8 :V=2π016x(3x)dx

Step 9 :V=8192π

Step 10 :Final Answer: The integral that gives the volume of the solid is 8192π.
