Problem
Between 0 and 2π, the graphs of y=sinx and y=cosx intersect twice and enclose a finite region. This region is revolved about the horizontal line y=−2.
Answer the following questions. Exact answers are required unless otherwise indicated.
(a) Find all values of x in the interval [0,2π] for which sinx=cosx.
(b) Identify the specific subinterval of x over which sinx and cosx enclose a single, closed region, and justify your choice.
(c) Write a definite integral that gives the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region from part (b) about y=−2.
(d) Evaluate the integral in part (c) to obtain the exact volume.
