1. Find the area of the region between y 2 = x + 5 and y 2 = 3 x.

Solution: Let x + 5 = 3 x, we have x = 1, and in this case, y = 2. Note that the region
is enclosed by x = y 2 5 and x = 3 y 2 , to compute the area we do an integral with respect to y:

2.Find the volume of the solid whose base is the region in the x-y plane enclosed by y = x2
and y = 3, and the cross sections perpendicular to the y-axis are squares.
Solution: We will do an integral with respect to y, so we hope to express the area of the cross
section in terms of y. To do this, we first find the length of the edge of the cross section in terms of
y:

l(y) = 2x = 2 y,
and therefore the area would be
A(y) = l2 (y) = 4y.
So the volume is

1. Find the area of the region enclosed by y = 4 x2 and y = x2 4.

Solution: Let y + 4 = 4 y, we have y = 0, and in this case, x = 2. To compute the area we
do an integral with respect to x:

2.Find
the volume of the solid whose base is the region in the x-y plane enclosed by the semicircle y = 9 x2 and the x-axis, and the cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are squares.
Solution: We will do an integral with respect to x, so we hope to express the area of the cross
section in terms of x. To do this, we first find the length of the edge of the cross section in terms
of x:

l(x) = y = 9 x2 ,
and therefore the area would be
A(x) = l2 (x) = 9 x2 .
So the volume is

ID:

1. Find the area of the region lying to the right of x = y 2 + 4y 22 and the left of x = 3y + 8.
Solution: Let y 2 + 4y 22 = 3y + 8, or y 2 y 30 = 0, we have y = 5, 6 To compute the
area we do an integral with respect to y:

(3y + 8) (y + 4y 22) dy =

2.Find the volume of the solid whose base is the region in the x-y plane enclosed by the triangle x + y = 1, the x-axis and the y-axis, and the cross sections perpendicular to the y-axis are
semicircles.
Solution: We will do an integral with respect to y, so we hope to express the area of the cross
section in terms of y. To do this, we first find the length of the edge of the cross section, which
would be the diameter of the semicircle in terms of y:
d(y) = x = 1 y,
and therefore the area would be
A(y) =
