The curve y=x^3 is rotated about the y-axis from y = 0 to y= 1.

Find the value of the solid formed.

Thanks in advance.

回覆: Volumes about the Y-Axis

y = x^3 --> x = y^(1/3)
volume = piS[f(y)]^2 . dy OR piS[x^2]dy
therefore

volume = pi.S[y^(2/3)]dy ...........limits: 1 --> 0
=pi[(3/5)y^(5/3)] ...........limits: 1 --> 0
=3pi/5

You guys forgot to x^2.

V = pi [int] x^2 dy ?

x^2 = y ^2/3

V = pi [int] y^2/3 dy with limits of 1 and 0
V = pi [3/5 * y ^ 5/3 ] with limits of 1 and 0
V = pi [3/5 - 0]
V = 3pi/5 units^3

In the time it took me to work out how to use the equation editor, everyone else had already posted the answer lol
