The region between y = 2x and y = x² spins about the x-axis. Ari uses washers. Write the volume as V = kπ. What is k?
The region between y = 3x and y = x² spins about the x-axis. Bo uses washers. Write the volume as V = kπ. What is k?
The region between y = x and y = x² spins about the x-axis. Esme uses washers. Write the volume as V = kπ. What is k?
The region between y = 4x and y = x² spins about the x-axis. Jun uses washers. Write the volume as V = kπ. What is k?
The region between y = 3 and y = 1, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2, spins about the x-axis into a tube. Kira finds k in V = kπ. What is k?
The region between y = 5 and y = 2, 0 ≤ x ≤ 3, spins about the x-axis into a tube. Luz finds k in V = kπ. What is k?
The region between y = 4 and y = 2, 0 ≤ x ≤ 5, spins about the x-axis into a tube. Milo finds k in V = kπ. What is k?
The region between y = √x and y = x/2, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 4, spins about the x-axis. Pia names the washer's radii. Which is right?
- R = √x, r = 0
- R = √x, r = x/2
- R = (√x) − (x/2), r = 0
- R = x/2, r = √x
The region between y = 5x and y = x², for 0 ≤ x ≤ 5, spins about the x-axis. Ren names the washer's radii. Which is right?
- R = x², r = 5x
- R = 5x, r = 0
- R = 5x, r = x²
- R = (5x) − (x²), r = 0
The region between y = 4 − x² and y = 3, for −1 ≤ x ≤ 1, spins about the x-axis. Zee names the washer's radii. Which is right?
- R = 4 − x², r = 0
- R = 3, r = 4 − x²
- R = 4 − x², r = 3
- R = (4 − x²) − (3), r = 0
