Consider the curves and in the -plane. The two curves enclose a bounded region lying above and below , symmetric about the -axis. Use wherever it is needed and give each answer correct to two decimal places.
Question 1
Numerical answer
The area of the region is
Show answer and solution
Answer: 2.33
The curves meet where , i.e. , so . By symmetry the area is .
Question 2
Numerical answer
The volume of the solid obtained by revolving about the -axis is
Show answer and solution
Answer: 13.40
For the region lies between and , both non-negative, so the washer method applies and by symmetry . Now and , so . With this is .
