pi int_(-1)^(3/2)[(-y^2+y-(-4))^2-(y^2-3-(-4))^2]dy

=(875pi)/32

Explanation:

pi int_(-1)^(3/2)[(-y^2+y-(-4))^2-(y^2-3-(-4))^2]dy

=pi int_(-1)^(3/2)[(-y^2+y+4)^2-(y^2+1)^2]dy

color(red)("(FOIL both polynomials separately, then subtract)")

=pi int_(-1)^(3/2)[-2y^3-9y^2+8y+15]dy

=pi [-1/2y^4-3y^3+4y^2+15y]_(-1)^(3/2)

=pi [-81/32-81/8+9+45/2+1/2-3-4+15]

=pi(-405/32+40)

=(875pi)/32

You have not evaluated the integral from 1 to 1.5.

Explanation:

I don't want to re-type your entire answer, but you have done the equivalent of

int_1^2 (x^3 - x) dx = {: x^4/4 - x^2/2 ]_1^2

And the you have gone back to

x^3+x but you've substituted the upper limit for only the first x and the lower for the second.

2^4/4-1^2/2.

Once you get

V = pi[-y^5/5-(2y^3)/3 + * * * -y]_-1^1.5 you need to substitute 1.5 into every y, the substitute -1 for every y and subtract.
