Let on the interval . For which values of do we get a finite volume by revolving about the -axis? |
Make sure you understand the problem fully: What is the question asking you to do? Are there specific conditions or constraints that you should take note of? How will you know if your answer is correct from your work only? Can you rephrase the question in your own words in a way that makes sense to you? |
If you are stuck, check the hint below. Consider it for a while. Does it give you a new idea on how to approach the problem? If so, try it! |
Hint |
---|
For a graph , the formula for the volume of the solid given by rotating the portion of the curve on the interval about the -axis is |
Checking a solution serves two purposes: helping you if, after having used the hint, you still are stuck on the problem; or if you have solved the problem and would like to check your work.

Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. Using the formula in the hint, the volume of the solid is given by so the question reduces to asking for which values of does the integral converge? We know that this integral converges if and only if so the volume is finite if and only if .
Answer: The correct answer is . |
