TUTORIAL 87
1. The diagram shows the region R bounded by the curve x = y2, which meet at the
points A and B. y y = x 2
R x
0
B x = y2
a) Find the coordinates of A and B.
b) Determine the area of the shaded region.
c) Find the volume generated when R is rotated through 360 about the y-axis.
2. The curve y2 = 6 2x intersects the line y = 2x at the point A, and cuts the x-axis
at point B as shown below. y
y = 2x
B x
0
y2 = 6 2x
a) Find the coordinates of A and B.
b) Find the area of the shaded region.
c) Using the Washer Method, set up the integral to find the volume of the solid
obtained when the shaded region is revolved about the line x = 1.
Do not evaluate the integral.
