Understand the Problem: Understand the problem.We need to find the volume of a solid with a given base and cross-sectional area. The base is bounded by the curves y=2+(x/2) and y=2(x/2), and the limits of integration are from the y-axis (x=0) to x=4. The height of the cross sections is given by 4−x.
Determine Cross Section Area: Determine the area of a cross section.The area A(x) of a cross section at a given x is the difference between the upper function and the lower function, multiplied by the height (4−x). The upper function is y=2(x/2), and the lower function is y=2+(x/2).A(x)=[2(x/2)−(2+x/2)](4−x)
Set Up Integral for Volume: Set up the integral for the volume.The volume V of the solid is the integral of the cross-sectional area A(x) from x=0 to x=4.V=∫04A(x)dxV=∫04[2(x/2)−(2+x/2)](4−x)dx
Match Integral with Choices: Match the integral with the given choices.We need to find which of the given choices matches the integral we have set up. The correct integral should have the form of the area function we found in Step 2.The correct choice is:(C) ∫04[2+(x/2)−2(x/2)](4−x)dx
