Step 1

Setting these two equal to each other, we get $\sqrt{x}=x/2$. Squaring both sides, we get $x=x^2/4$. Solving for $x$, we get $x=0$ and $x=4$. So, the region bounded by the two curves is from $x=0$ to $x=4$.  Show more…

Key Concepts

-
Volume by Slicing
This concept involves calculating the volume of a solid by integrating the area of cross-sectional slices along a specified axis. When the area of each slice can be expressed as a function of position, the total volume is obtained by summing (integrating) these areas over the interval that spans the solid.
Determining Integration Bounds
When computing volumes via integration, it is essential to find the correct limits of integration. These bounds are typically determined by the points of intersection of the curves or surfaces that define the boundaries of the solid’s base, ensuring that the entire region is covered.
Cross-Sectional Area Calculation
In problems using the slicing method, the area of each cross-sectional shape must be expressed as a function of the position along the axis of integration. This often involves using known geometric formulas for shapes (like triangles or semicircles) and relating the dimensions of these shapes to the variable of integration.
Definite Integration for Volume Computation
Definite integration is the process by which the continuous accumulation of small volume elements (slices) is calculated. Once the area function and bounds are determined, integrating over the interval yields the total volume of the solid.

Find the volumes of the solids in Exercises $1-10$. The base of a solid is the region between the curve $y=2 \sqrt{\sin x}$ and the interval $[0, \pi]$ on the $x$ -axis. The cross-sections perpendicular to the $x$ -axis are a. equilateral triangles with bases running from the $x$ -axis to the curve as shown in the accompanying figure. b. squares with bases running from the $x$ -axis to the curve.
