Problem R-10

Due is DSC 203 by 12 Noon, Friday March 29, 2002

Proposed by Griff Elder

A solid is generated by rotating about the x-axis the region bounded by the x-axis, the y-axis, and the curve y=f(x), $x\geq 0$, where f is a positive function. The volume generated by the part of the curve from x=0 to x=b is b² for all b>0. Find the function f.

Solutions, questions and/or comments should be directed to Judy Downey or Griff Elder
