Answer: Minimum Volume The arc of on the interval is revolved about the line (see

Chapter 7, Problem 67

(choose chapter or problem)

Minimum Volume The arc of \(y=4-\left(x^{2} / 4\right)\) on the interval [0, 4] is revolved about the line y = b (see figure).

(a) Find the volume of the resulting solid as a function of b.

(b) Use a graphing utility to graph the function in part (a), and use the graph to approximate the value of b that minimizes the volume of the solid.

(c) Use calculus to find the value of b that minimizes the volume of the solid, and compare the result with the answer to part (b).
