Default Re: help with some calc 2

jay shark did this incorrectly, and the fact that he obtained -1/3 as a volume should have made it obvious.

Relativity from pocket 5's ? It must be you .

Anyway , I already gave the formula for solving these types of problems in my second solution . When I first read the first problem I thought it was for AREA and not volume which is why my answer was 1/3 . The fact that I got a negative number has nothing to do with my calculation being wrong . Just insert absolute values to the number to correct the problem .

Are you doubting that the area of the bounded regions is 1/3 ?
