Answer:

(x + 2) (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic expression, x² - 4:

Use the Difference of squares factoring formula:

u² - v² = (u + v)(u - v)

Determine what are possible factors that could have a product of -4:

Since -2 × 2 = -4, these can be used as factors.

Therefore, the factors of the quadratic expression, x² - 4 are:

(x + 2) (x - 2)

I've attached a plot of one such cross-section (orange) over the region in the x-y plane (blue), including the bounding curves (red). (I've set $y=1.25$ for this example.)

The length of each cross section (the side lying in the base) has length determined by the horizontal distance $x$ between the y-axis $x=0$ and the curve $y=\sqrt x$ . In terms of $y$ , this distance is $x=y^2$ . The height of each cross section is twice the value of $y$ , so the area of each rectangular cross section should be $2y^3$ .

This means the volume would be given by the integral

$\displaystyle\int_0^22y^3\,\mathrm dy$
