7. Let \( R \) be the region between the graphs of \( y = 1 + \sin(\pi x) \) and \( y = x^3 \) from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 1 \). The volume of the solid obtained by revolving \( R \) about the x-axis is given by:






Answer is: option2

\( \pi \int_0^1 \left( [1 + \sin(\pi x)]^2 - x^6 \right) \, dx \)

Solution:

To compute the volume of a solid of revolution about the x-axis, we use the washer method:

\[ V = \pi \int_a^b \left[ (f(x))^2 - (g(x))^2 \right] dx \]

Where:

  • \( f(x) \) is the outer radius (upper function),
  • \( g(x) \) is the inner radius (lower function).

Here:

  • Upper function (outer radius): \( f(x) = 1 + \sin(\pi x) \)
  • Lower function (inner radius): \( g(x) = x^3 \)
  • Interval: \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 1 \)

So the volume becomes:

\[ V = \pi \int_0^1 \left[ (1 + \sin(\pi x))^2 - (x^3)^2 \right] dx = \pi \int_0^1 \left[ (1 + \sin(\pi x))^2 - x^6 \right] dx \]
