I got it wrong why?
V = Int(2pi*r*h dx)[0,3]
where
r = x
h = 18-y

V = 2pi*Int(x*(18-6x) dx)[0,3]
= 2pi * Int(18x - 6x^2 dx)[0,3]
= 2pi*(9x^2 - 2x^3)[0,3]
= 2pi*(27-18)
= 18pi

Hello, layd33foxx!

Simple arithmetic error . . .


I got it wrong . . . why?

\(\displaystyle \displaystyle V \:=\: 2\pi\int^3_0 r\!\cdot\!h\, dx\)

where \(\displaystyle r = x,\;h = 18-y\)

\(\displaystyle \displaystyle V \:=\: 2\pi \int^3_0 x(18-6x)\,dx \;=\;2\pi\int^3_0(18x - 6x^2)\, dx \)

. . \(\displaystyle =\;2\pi(9x^2 - 2x^3)\,\bigg]^3_0 \;=\; 2\pi (27-18) \;=\; 18\pi\)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\(\displaystyle \uparrow\)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Here!

\(\displaystyle 9x^2\) when \(\displaystyle x = 3\)
