Let the region be the area enclosed by the function , the horizontal line , and the -axis. If the region is the base of a solid such that each cross section perpendicular to the -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 cubic units.
Steps
Step 1 :Find the intersection points of and to determine the limits of integration: gives
Step 2 :Integrate the area of each semi-circle along the x-axis:
Step 3 :The volume of the solid is approximately cubic units.
