Problem

Let the region R be the area enclosed by the function f(x)=ex, the horizontal line y=3, and the y-axis. 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

The volume of the solid is approximately 0.741 cubic units.

Steps

Step 1 :Find the intersection points of f(x)=ex and y=3 to determine the limits of integration: ex=3 gives x1.099

Step 2 :Integrate the area of each semi-circle along the x-axis: V=01.09912π(3ex)2dx0.741

Step 3 :The volume of the solid is approximately 0.741 cubic units.
