Practice Problems for Midterm #2

1. Content Recap (a) The general formulas for finding the volume of a solid of revolution using the
disk method are given by:

(b) The general formulas for finding the volume of a solid of revolution using the shell method are
given by:

(c) In the disk method, the variable of integration the axis of rotation and the slices are
to the rotation axis.

(d) In the shell method, the variable of integration is of the axis of rotation and the
slices are to the rotation axis.

(e) Evaluate an integral using integration by parts if:

To choose the value of u, use the rule: .

(f) To evaluate integrals with powers or products of trig functions, we may nned to use a trig
identity. Write down the three Pythagorean identities, the two power-reducing formulas, and the
double-angle formula for sine:
(g) If we would evaluate an integral using trig substitution, the integral should contain an expression
of one of these forms: , , or .

Write out the trig substitution you would use for each form listed above.

(h) To use the method of partial fractions, we must first factor the denominator completely into
or terms.

In the partial fraction decomposition, if the term in the denominator is raised to the kth power,
then we have partial fractions.

For each linear term, the numerator of the partial fraction will be .

For each irreducible quadratic term, the numerator will be .

2. For each problem below, find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region R about
the given line.

(a) R is the region bounded by the curves y = x3 , x + y = 10, and the line y = 1; about the x-axis

(b) R is the region bounded by the curves y 2 = 4x and y = x; about the x-axis
√
(c) R is the region bounded by the curves y = 1 − x2 and x + y = 1; about the x-axis

(d) R is the region bounded by the curves y 2 = 4x and y = x; about the line x = 4
√
(e) R is the region bounded by the curves y = x and y = x2 ; about the line x = −2
√
(f) R is the region bounded by the curves y = x and y = x2 ; about the line y = 2
√
(g) R is the region bounded by the curves y = 4 sin(x2 ), x = 0, and x = π; about the y-axis
(HINT: use cylindrical shells)

(h) R is the region bounded by the curves y = ln x, x = 1, and x = e2 ; about the line x = 1 (HINT:
use cylindrical shells)
