Consider the region between the graph of and the x-axis on [2, 5]. For each line of rotation given in Exercises 35–40, use definite integrals to find the volume of the resulting solid.

The centroid of the region between the graphs ofandon
Each of the definite integrals in Exercises 19–24 represents the volume of a solid of revolution obtained by rotating a region around either the x- or y-axis. Find this region.
Consider the region between and the x-axis on . For each line of rotation given in Exercises 27–30, use four disks or washers based on the given rectangles to approximate the volume of the resulting solid.

Suppose a population P(t) of animals on a small island grows according to a logistic model of the form for some constant .
(a) What is the carrying capacity of the island under this model?
(b) Given that the population is growing and that , is the constant k positive or negative, and why?
(c) Explain why for small values of .
(d) Explain why for values of that are close to the carrying capacity
