The two parabolas intersect for

8-x^2 = x^2 \implies 2x^2 = 8 \implies x^2 = 4 \implies x=\pm2

and so the base of each solid is the set

B = \left\{(x,y) \,:\, -2\le x\le2 \text{ and } x^2 \le y \le 8-x^2\right\}

The side length of each cross section that coincides with B is equal to the vertical distance between the two parabolas, |x^2-(8-x^2)| = 2|x^2-4|. But since -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, this reduces to 2(x^2-4).

a. Square cross sections will contribute a volume of

\left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = 4(x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x

where ∆x is the thickness of the section. Then the volume would be

\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 4(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx \\\\ = 8 \int_0^2 (x^4-8x^2+16) \, dx \\\\ = 8 \left(\frac{2^5}5 - \frac{8\times2^3}3 + 16\times2\right) = \boxed{\frac{2048}{15}}

where we take advantage of symmetry in the first line.

b. For a semicircle, the side length we found earlier corresponds to diameter. Each semicircular cross section will contribute a volume of

\dfrac\pi8 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \dfrac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x

We end up with the same integral as before except for the leading constant:

\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \frac\pi2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \pi \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx

Using the result of part (a), the volume is

\displaystyle \frac\pi8 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{256\pi}{15}}}

c. An equilateral triangle with side length s has area √3/4 s², hence the volume of a given section is

\dfrac{\sqrt3}4 \left(2(x^2-4)\right)^2 \, \Delta x = \sqrt3 (x^2-4)^2 \, \Delta x

and using the result of part (a) again, the volume is

\displaystyle \int_{-2}^2 \sqrt 3(x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \frac{\sqrt3}4 \times 8 \int_0^2 (x^2-4)^2 \, dx = \boxed{\frac{512}{5\sqrt3}}

How much material is required to make a pipe that is 300 cm long whose outer diameter is 8 cm with an inner diameter of 5 cm? Sh
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you had a solid cylinder, in order to find the amount of material that makes up that solid cylinder, you would find the volume using the radius of 4 (half of the diameter 8).  BUT we want to know the volume of the solid with the radius of 4 minus the solid that has a radius of 2.5 (half of the diameter 5).

V_o-V_i  That's volume outer - volume inner.  To find the outer volume:

V=\pi r^2h so

V_o=\pi (4^2)(300) and

V_o=4800\pi  and do the same for the inner volume:

V_i=\pi (2.5^2)(300) and

V_i=1875\pi

Subtract the inner from the outer:

4800\pi-1875\pi=2925\pi cm^3

If you need your answer in decimal form, then the volume is

9189.16 cm³

How do i turn this to decimals?<br><br> 818/1320<br><br> 1742/2540<br><br> 396/1220
trapecia [35]
You simply divide numerator by denominator
818/1320 = 0.619
1742/2540 = 0.685
396/1220 = 0.32
