Final answer:
To find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the equations y = x³, y = 0, and x = 3, we can use the disk method. The volume of each infinitesimally thin disk is given by dV = π(x - 3)²(x³ - 0), and integrating this expression will give us the total volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the equations y = x³, y = 0, and x = 3, we can use the disk method or the shell method.
Let's use the disk method. We need to set up an integral to sum up the volumes of infinitesimally thin disks that make up the solid. The radius of each disk will be the distance from the axis of revolution (x = 3) to the curve y = x³, which is given by r = x - 3. The height of each disk will be the difference between y = x³ and y = 0, which is given by h = x³ - 0. Therefore, the volume of each disk is given by dV = π(r²)(h) = π(x - 3)²(x³ - 0).
To find the total volume, we integrate from x = 0 to x = 3 with respect to x: V = ∫[0,3] (π(x - 3)²(x³ - 0)) dx.
Simplifying and evaluating the integral will give us the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the given equations.
