Finding value to calculate volume
Given D = [ ( x ; y ) R 2 : 1 y a x 2 + 1 , 0 x 2 / a ] , 0 < a let W be the region obtained by rotating D around Y axis.
A) Find the volume of W
B) Find, if possible, the a values ϵ ( 0 ; + ) so that the volume of W is a minimum, and a maximum
C) Find, if possible, the a values ϵ ( 1 / 3 ; 3 ) so that the volume of W is a minimum, and a maximum
Well, what I've done so far is finding the inner and outer radius to calculate the volume in terms of Y. The inner radius would be be y 1 a and the outer would be 4 + a a , which is a evaluated in the parabola. Then, the volume would be 1 4 + a a ( y 1 a ) 2 ( 4 + a a ) 2 d x.
And that's the function that I have to differentiate to find its maxima and minima, which, after differentiating, is 1/a. Is ok what am I doing? How can I go on?

Explanation:
The smallest value of y is 1 and its largest value is f ( 2 a ) = 4 + a a . For each y in that interval, the possible values of x go from y 1 a to 2 a . Therefore, that volume is equal to π 1 4 + a a ( 2 a ) 2 ( y 1 a ) 2 d y = π ( 8 a 3 + 4 a 2 + 1 2 a ) .
