Question: 1 . ( a ) A tent has a elliptical base of equation x 2 a 2 + y 2 b 2 = 1 (

1.(a) A tent has a elliptical base of equation x 2 a 2+ y 2 b 2=1(a,b are measured in meters) and is supported by a horizontal ridge bar held at height c meters above the x-axis by vertical supports at the points (a,0). The material of the tent is stretched tight so that each cross section perpendicular to the ridge bar is an isosceles triangle. Find the volume of the tent. (b) Set up, but do not evaluate an integral for the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the parabolas y =8x 2x 2, y =4x x 2 about (i) the y-axis; (ii) the line x =5; (iii) the x-axis; (iv) the line y =3.
