2. Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded
by x = 3y/2, y = 2 around the y-axis.
Answer: First, note that 3y/2 = 2 when 3y = 4; i.e. when y = 4/3.
Hence, the volume is given by

revolving the region bounded by x = 0, x = 2, y = 0 and y = 1 + x4 about
the y-axis.
Answer: Recall that the shell method tells us that

4. Find
√ the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded
by y = 3, x = 3 and x = 3 − y 2 about the x-axis.
Answer: Since we’re revolving about the x-axis, we need to integrate
with respect to y (using the shell method). Hence, remembering that in
such a circumstance h represents the width of the region,

length of half the first-quadrant portion, y = (1 − x2/3 )3/2 , 2/4 ≤ x ≤ 1,
