The finite region bounded by the x-axis, the curve with equation y = 2e^2x , the y-axis and the line x = 1 is rotated through one complete revolution about the x-axis to form a uniform solid. Show that the volume of the solid is 2π(e^2 – 1)

The volume of revolution, V, is given as 2π∫ydx Substituting in the equation and limits gives as follows: V = 2π∫2e^2x dx between 0 and 1 Integrating this gives V = 2π[e^2x] between 0 and 1 Applying the limi...
