Two homework problems to start the day





Since we have now studied all four methods for finding volumes- disk, washer, shell and constant cross-sections- we started a worksheet of questions on the first three of these methods. The worksheet, and the solutions, will hopefully appear shortly!

Thursday 2/18
Today we went over some of the more complicated problems from the worksheet. As promised, the worksheet and the solutions is posted here.

Friday 2/19
Even more area and volume problems. A review sheet is attached below, followed by a graphic of the answers to the odd-numbered problems. For those of you not in class, omit the problems covering material we have not yet learned. These would be #6, 13 - 22 and 40 - 44. Solutions:
