Volume With Rectangular Cross Sections

Question

The region enclosed by the graphs of $$ y = x^3 $$ and $$ y = x $$ is the base of a solid. For this solid, cross sections perpendicular to the *y*-axis are rectangles whose height is twice the length of their base in the *xy*-plane. Which of the following expressions gives the volume of the solid?

Accepted Answer

$$ 2 \int_0^1 (y - y^{1/3})^2 \, dy $$

Answer

$$ \int_0^1 (y - y^{1/3})^2 \, dy $$

Answer

$$ 2 \int_0^1 (y + y^{1/3})^2 \, dy $$

Answer

$$ 2 \int_0^1 (x - x^3)^2 \, dx $$
