Cylinder in Ellipsoid Problem: The ellipse x2 + 4y2 = 4 is rotated about the x-axis to form an ellipsoid. A cylinder is inscribed in the ellipsoid, with its axis along the x-axis. The right base of the cylinder touches the ellipse at the sample point (x, y) in the first quadrant. Sketch the ellipsoid and the cylinder. Then plot the volume of the cylinder as a function of x. Sketch the graph. Find the value of x that maximizes the volume of the cylinder, and find this maximum volume.
