Solution
x = t − 2, y = t2 − 2t, (−1 ≤ t ≤ 3)
Solution: t = x + 2. Then y = (x + 2)2 − 2(x + 2) = x2 + 4x + 4 − 2x − 4 = x(x + 2). When t = −1, x = −3 and when
t = 3, x = 1.

2. (20 pts) Find the volume of the solid that is generated by rotating about the x-axis the finite region bounded by y = 5x2
and y = 15x.
Solution: First let us find the intersection of the curves. y = 5x2 = 15x implies x = 0 or x = 3. When 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 we have
5x2 ≤ 15x. Therefore, the volume of the solid is
