Question:

Consider the region R bounded by the curves y = ax2 + 1, y = 0, x = 0, and x = 1, for a ≥ -1. Let S1 and S2 be solids generated when R is revolved about the x- and y-axes, respectively.

a. Find V1 and V2, the volumes of S1 and S2, as functions of a.

b. What are the values of a ≥ -1 for which V1(a) = V2(a)?
