STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to compute a definite integral, which represents a volume VV, over the interval [2,2][-2, 2]. Watch out! Don't forget to apply the limits of integration correctly after integrating and be careful with the fractional exponents.

STEP 2

1. Simplify the integrand
2. Integrate term by term
3. Evaluate the definite integral

STEP 3

Alright, let's **get this party started**!
First, let's peep that integrand.
It looks a little intimidating, right?
But don't worry, we'll **tame it**!
Notice that each term has a 4x2\sqrt{4 - x^2} or (4x2)3/2(4 - x^2)^{3/2}.
Let's **factor that bad boy out** to make things cleaner!

STEP 4

V=224x2(82x22(4x2)3)dx V = \int_{-2}^{2} \sqrt{4 - x^2} \left( 8 - 2x^2 - \frac{2(4 - x^2)}{3} \right) dx See? Much **neater** already!
Now, let's **simplify** the expression inside the parentheses.

STEP 5

V=224x2(82x283+2x23)dx V = \int_{-2}^{2} \sqrt{4 - x^2} \left( 8 - 2x^2 - \frac{8}{3} + \frac{2x^2}{3} \right) dx We **distributed** that 23-\frac{2}{3}.
Now **combine like terms**!

STEP 6

V=224x2(24836x22x23)dx V = \int_{-2}^{2} \sqrt{4 - x^2} \left( \frac{24 - 8}{3} - \frac{6x^2 - 2x^2}{3} \right) dx V=224x2(1634x23)dx V = \int_{-2}^{2} \sqrt{4 - x^2} \left( \frac{16}{3} - \frac{4x^2}{3} \right) dx Almost there!
Let's **factor out** 43\frac{4}{3}.

STEP 7

V=43224x2(4x2)dx V = \frac{4}{3} \int_{-2}^{2} \sqrt{4 - x^2} (4 - x^2) dx V=4322(4x2)3/2dx V = \frac{4}{3} \int_{-2}^{2} (4 - x^2)^{3/2} dx Boom! **Way easier** to handle, right?

STEP 8

Now, this integral screams **trig substitution**!
Let x=2sin(θ)x = 2\sin(\theta), so dx=2cos(θ)dθdx = 2\cos(\theta) d\theta.
When x=2x = -2, sin(θ)=1\sin(\theta) = -1, so θ=π2\theta = -\frac{\pi}{2}.
When x=2x = 2, sin(θ)=1\sin(\theta) = 1, so θ=π2\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}.

STEP 9

Also, 4x2=44sin2(θ)=4(1sin2(θ))=4cos2(θ)4 - x^2 = 4 - 4\sin^2(\theta) = 4(1 - \sin^2(\theta)) = 4\cos^2(\theta).
So, (4x2)3/2=(4cos2(θ))3/2=8cos3(θ)(4 - x^2)^{3/2} = (4\cos^2(\theta))^{3/2} = 8\cos^3(\theta).

STEP 10

Substituting, our integral becomes: V=43π/2π/28cos3(θ)2cos(θ)dθ=643π/2π/2cos4(θ)dθ V = \frac{4}{3} \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} 8\cos^3(\theta) \cdot 2\cos(\theta) d\theta = \frac{64}{3} \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \cos^4(\theta) d\theta Much better!

STEP 11

Now, we can use the **reduction formula** for cosn(θ)\cos^n(\theta) or the **double angle formula** for cos2(θ)\cos^2(\theta) repeatedly.
Let's use the latter: cos2(θ)=1+cos(2θ)2 \cos^2(\theta) = \frac{1 + \cos(2\theta)}{2} So, cos4(θ)=(1+cos(2θ)2)2=14(1+2cos(2θ)+cos2(2θ)) \cos^4(\theta) = \left( \frac{1 + \cos(2\theta)}{2} \right)^2 = \frac{1}{4} (1 + 2\cos(2\theta) + \cos^2(2\theta)) cos4(θ)=14(1+2cos(2θ)+1+cos(4θ)2)=18(3+4cos(2θ)+cos(4θ)) \cos^4(\theta) = \frac{1}{4} \left( 1 + 2\cos(2\theta) + \frac{1 + \cos(4\theta)}{2} \right) = \frac{1}{8} (3 + 4\cos(2\theta) + \cos(4\theta))

STEP 12

V=643π/2π/218(3+4cos(2θ)+cos(4θ))dθ=83π/2π/2(3+4cos(2θ)+cos(4θ))dθ V = \frac{64}{3} \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \frac{1}{8} (3 + 4\cos(2\theta) + \cos(4\theta)) d\theta = \frac{8}{3} \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} (3 + 4\cos(2\theta) + \cos(4\theta)) d\theta V=83[3θ+2sin(2θ)+14sin(4θ)]π/2π/2 V = \frac{8}{3} \left[ 3\theta + 2\sin(2\theta) + \frac{1}{4}\sin(4\theta) \right]_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}

STEP 13

**Time to plug and chug** those limits! V=83[(3π2+0+0)(3π2+0+0)]=833π=8π V = \frac{8}{3} \left[ \left( \frac{3\pi}{2} + 0 + 0 \right) - \left( -\frac{3\pi}{2} + 0 + 0 \right) \right] = \frac{8}{3} \cdot 3\pi = \mathbf{8\pi}

STEP 14

The volume VV is 8π8\pi.
