Calculate the volume obtained when rotating the curve y=x^2 360 degrees around the x axis for 0<x<2

I haven't yet figured out how to write in proper mathematical notation on here, and my drawing pad is yet to arrive, so please forgive the formatFirst, the formula for the volume of revolution is V= pi * the integral of (y)^2 dxIn this case it means V = pi * integral (x^4)dx between 0<x<2integrating x^4 gives 0.2 x^5 as we reverse the process of bringing down the power and multiplying, henceV= pi * [0.2 x^5] between 0<x<2Substitute values givesV=pi*(0.22^5-0.20)V=pi0.232V=6.4*pior V=20.106....

A curve has parametric equations x = 1 - cos(t), y = sin(t)sin(2t) for 0 <= t <= pi. Find the coordinates where the curve meets the x-axis.


What is differentiation?


Simplify: (log(40) - log(20)) + log(3)


At time t = 0 a particle leaves the origin and moves along the x-axis. At time t seconds, the velocity of P is v m/s in the positive x direction, where v=4t^2–13t+2. How far does it travel between the times t1 and t2 at which it is at rest?
