Calculating Volume using Integrals

Key Questions

• How do you find the volume of the solid with base region bounded by the curve #y=e^x#, #y=ln4#, and the #y#-axis if cross sections perpendicular to the #y#-axis are squares?

  Since its cross-sections are squares, its area can be expressed as
  #A(y)=(lny)^2#
  So, the volume of the solid can be found by:
  #V=int_1^{ln4}(lny)^2dy#.
  Can you go from here? You might have to use integration by parts twice.
