Problem

Let the region R be the area enclosed by the function f(x)=2x and g(x)=2x. If the region R is the base of a solid such that each cross section perpendicular to the x-axis is a semi-circle with diameters extending through the region R, find the volume of the solid. You may use a calculator and round to the nearest thousandth.

Answer

V0.01667π cubic units

Steps

Step 1 :Find the intersection points of f(x)=2x and g(x)=2x to determine the limits of integration.

Step 2 :Set up the integral for the volume of the solid using the formula for the area of a semi-circle: A=12πr2, where r=xx.

Step 3 :Calculate the volume using the integral: V=0112π(xx)2dx.

Step 4 :Evaluate the integral to find the volume: V0.01667π cubic units.

Step 5 :V0.01667π cubic units
