AP Calculus AB· difficulty 3/5

Region bounded by y=xy = x and y=x2y = x^2 revolved about the xx-axis. Volume?

  • A

    2π15\tfrac{2\pi}{15}

    check_circle
  • B

    π2\tfrac{\pi}{2}

  • C

    π3\tfrac{\pi}{3}

  • D

    π6\tfrac{\pi}{6}

Explanation

Outer y=xy = x, inner y=x2y = x^2 on [0,1][0, 1]. V=π01(x2x4)dx=π(1/31/5)=2π/15V = \pi\int_0^1 (x^2 - x^4)\,dx = \pi(1/3 - 1/5) = 2\pi/15.
