Solution: Here the cross-sections are squares taken perpendicular to the $$y$$-axis. We use the vertical cross-section of the pyramid through its center to obtain an equation relating $$x$$ and $$y$$. Here this would be the equation, $$y = 6 - 6x$$. Since we need the dimensions of the square at each $$y$$-level, we solve this equation for $$x$$ to get, $$x = 1 - \tfrac{y}{6}$$. This is half the distance across the square cross-section at the $$y$$-level, so the side length of the square cross-section is, $$s = 2\left(1 - \tfrac{y}{6}\right).$$ Thus, we have the area of a cross-section is, $$A(y) = \left[2\left(1 - \tfrac{y}{6}\right)\right]^2 = 4\left(1 - \tfrac{y}{6}\right)^2.$$ \begin{align*} \text{Then},\quad V &= \int_0^6 4\left(1 - \tfrac{y}{6}\right)^2 \, dy \\[5pt] &= -24 \int_1^0 u^2 \, du, \quad \text{where} \, u = 1 - \tfrac{y}{6}, \, \text{so} \, du = -\tfrac{1}{6}\,dy, \quad \implies \quad -6\,du = dy \\[5pt] &= 24 \int_0^1 u^2 \, du = 24\dfrac{u^3}{3}\bigg|_0^1 \\[5pt] &= 8u^3\bigg|_0^1 \\[5pt] &= 8\left( 1^3 - 0^3 \right) \quad= \quad 8\, \text{units}^3 \end{align*} 7) A pyramid with height 4 units and a rectangular base with length 2 units and width 3 units, as pictured here. 8) A tetrahedron with a base side of 4 units,as seen here.

 Year after 1920 Value (\$) 1 63.90 3 100 5 110 7 160 9 381.17

24) [T] The best-fit exponential curve to these data is given by $$y=40.71+1.224^x$$. Why do you think the gains of the market were unsustainable? Use first and second derivatives to help justify your answer. What would this model predict the Dow Jones industrial average to be in 2014 ?

For exercises 25 - 26, consider the catenoid, the only solid of revolution that has a minimal surface, or zero mean curvature. A catenoid in nature can be found when stretching soap between two rings.

25) Find the volume of the catenoid $$y=\cosh(x)$$ from $$x=−1$$ to $$x=1$$ that is created by rotating this curve around the $$x$$-axis, as shown here.

Answer:
$$V = π\big(1+\sinh(1)\cosh(1)\big)$$ units3

26) Find surface area of the catenoid $$y=\cosh(x)$$ from $$x=−1$$ to $$x=1$$ that is created by rotating this curve around the $$x$$-axis.
