AP Calculus ABmediummcq1 pt

The region in the first quadrant enclosed by the graphs of y=xy=x and y=x2y=x^2 is revolved about the xx-axis. What is the volume of the resulting solid?

A.2π15\frac{2\pi}{15}
B.π3\frac{\pi}{3}
C.π5\frac{\pi}{5}
D.8π15\frac{8\pi}{15}

Explanation

Core Concept

The curves intersect at x=0x=0 and x=1x=1, with xx on top. The volume is π01(x2x4)dx=π(1315)=2π15\pi\int_0^1(x^2-x^4)\,dx=\pi(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{5})=\frac{2\pi}{15}.

Correct Answer

A2π15\frac{2\pi}{15}
