Volume of a Solid with a Definite Integral

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a solid with a base defined by region R, enclosed by the curve y = 4√(9-x) and the axes in the first quadrant. The solid's cross-sections, perpendicular to the y-axis, are rectangles with a base in region R and height y. The tutorial guides viewers through visualizing the solid, setting up the integral, and solving for x in terms of y to express the volume as a definite integral from y = 0 to y = 12.

What is the region R defined by in the problem?

• y = 4 * sqrt(9 - x) and the axes in the first quadrant

• y = 3 * sqrt(9 - x) and the axes in the fourth quadrant

• y = 3 * sqrt(9 - x) and the axes in the second quadrant

• y = 4 * sqrt(9 - x) and the axes in the third quadrant
