The bats are hollow and it is believed that greater the volume of the bat, the greater the power generated; therefore, big barrels are providing an unfair advantage. - A skinny barrel bat is formed by revolving the region bounded by the graph of y= 0.15 + 0.1sqrt.(x) and x= 1.5 and the x-axis about the x-axis, where x and y are measured in feet. Find the volume of the bat. - For the big barrel bat, revolve the graph of y = 0.15 + 0.2sqrt.(x) and x= 1.5 and the x-axis about the x-axis. x and y are measured in feet. Find the volume of the bat. 2) Engineers at LLirk industries are designing a fuel tank thatachieves the greatest gas mileage while decreasing the amount of trips made by the truck.
