Stewart – Calculus 8e ET Chapter 6 Form A
14. Use a graphing utility to (a) plot the graphs of the given functions and (b) find the approximate
x-coordinates of the points of intersection of the graphs. Then find an approximation of the volume
of the solid obtained by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the functions about the x-axis.
Round answers to two decimal places.
y = x5, y = 3x2 – x3
15. Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the
equations about the indicated axis.

16. Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the
region bounded by the graphs of the equations about the indicated axis. Sketch the region and a
representative rectangle.
