A region R is enclosed by the coordinate axes and the graph of y=k(x-5)^2, k>0. When this region is revolved around the x-axi
r-ruslan [8.4K]
y=k(x-5)^2 touches the x-axis at x=5 and has a y-intercept when x=0 at

y=k(0-5)^2=25k

Using disks, the volume of the revolved region would be given by the integral

\displaystyle\pi\int_0^5\bigg(k(x-5)^2\bigg)^2\,\mathrm dx=\pi k^2\int_0^5(x-5)^4\,\mathrm dx=\pi k^2\int_{-5}^0x^4\,\mathrm dx
\implies 2500\pi=625\pi k^2
\implies 4=k^2
\implies k=2
