Question

Could anyone help I just need to know how to do part b

Answer 1

k = 408, as shown in your problem statement

Explanation:

Compute the integral in the usual way, then compare to the given expression and solve for k. We use the "cylindrical shell" method to find the volume.

The integral that gives the volume is ...

`\displaystyle V=\int_0^1{2\pi x(x-x^3)}\,dx+\int_1^2{2\pi x(x^3-x)}\,dx\\\\=(2\pi(1^3-0^3))/(3)-(2\pi(1^5-0^5))/(5)+(2\pi(2^5-1^5))/(5)-(2\pi(2^3-1^3))/(3)\\\\=2\pi\left((5\cdot1^3-3\cdot1^5+3(2^5-1^5)-5(2^3-1^3))/(15)\right)=(2\pi)/(15)(5-3+3(31)-5(7))\\\\=(\pi)/(15)(120)=(\pi)/(15)(k-9(8^(5/3)))\qquad\text{compare to given expression}\\\\120=k-288\qquad\text{multiply by $15/\pi$ and simplify}\\\\k=408\qquad\text{add 288}`
