Lecture 15 - Problem Set
1. Find the area of the shaded region.
2. Use the parametric equations of an ellipse, x = a cos θ, y = b sin θ, 0 ⩽ θ ⩽ 2π, to find
the area that it encloses.
3. Racing cars driven by Chris and Kelly are side by side at the start of a race. The table
shows the velocities of each car (in miles per hour) during the first ten seconds of the
race. Use Simpson’s Rule to estimate how much farther Kelly travels than Chris does
during the first ten seconds.
4. Find the volume of the described solid.
a) A frustum of a right circular cone with height h, lower base radius R, and top radius
r.
b) A pyramid with height h and base an equilateral triangle with side a (a tetrahedron).
5. a) Set up an integral for the volume of a solid torus (the donut-shaped solid shown in
the figure) with radii r and R.
b) By interpreting the integral as an area, find the volume of the torus.
6. Let S be the solid obtained by rotating about the y-axis the region bounded by y =
x ( x − 1)2 and y = 0. Explain why it is awkward to use slicing to find the volume V of
S. Then find V using cylindrical shells.
