Problem

Let RR be the region in the first quadrant bounded above by the graph of y=4y = 4 and below by the graph of y=x2y = x^2, with the additional boundary x=0x = 0. The region RR is revolved about the horizontal line y=6y = 6 to generate a solid SS. a. Part 1: (a) Describe, without performing any calculations, which variable of integration (xx or yy) leads to a single integral that is simpler to evaluate for the volume of SS, and justify your choice by referring to the geometry of the solid. b. Part 2: (b) Using your chosen variable of integration, write, but do not evaluate, a definite integral expression for the volume of SS. c. Part 3: (c) Evaluate the integral from part (b) to obtain the exact volume of the solid SS.
